Installation manual for the Mollie AFAS integration

Updated today

Connect Mollie with AFAS and automatically process payments in your financial administration. No more manual reconciliation. Always up-to-date accounts receivable.


1. Connect to Mollie

To connect to Mollie, you need the owner account that has access to the relevant organization.

Install the Mollie Integration

  1. Search for the desired Mollie integration in Combidesk.

  2. Click Install this integration.

  3. You will be prompted to connect to Mollie. Click Connect your Mollie account.

Connect to Mollie

  1. You will be redirected to the Mollie website.

  2. Log in with the owner account.

  3. Select the organization you want to connect.

  4. After a successful connection, you will be redirected back to Combidesk.

Important: A new connection must be created in Combidesk for each Mollie organization. Do not edit an existing connection; instead, click Connect with a new Mollie account if you want to connect a new organization.


2. Connect to AFAS

Before you begin, make sure you have access to the following:

  • An active AFAS subscription with access to the AppConnector

  • The subdomain of your AFAS environment (the part before .afas.online)

  • An XML token generated via the AppConnector in AFAS

Haven't set up the AppConnector yet? Do this first in AFAS via Management → AppConnector. Make sure that at least one connector has been added to your AppConnector and copy the XML token — this is only shown once by AFAS.

Step by step: connecting your AFAS account

Step 1: Open the connection screen

Go to the installation page of the integration and click "Connect your AFAS account". A screen will appear as shown below.

Step 2: Enter your subdomain

In the Subdomain field, enter the first part of your AFAS URL. The full URL has the following format:

Only enter the part that comes before .afas.online.

Step 3: Paste the XML token

In the Token field, paste the full XML token that you copied from the AppConnector in AFAS. The token looks like this:

<token><version>1</version><data>...</data></token>

Please note: AFAS only shows this token once. If you no longer have it, you will need to create a new token in the AppConnector.

Step 4: Test or acceptance environment (optional)

Do you want to connect to a test or acceptance environment? Check the corresponding option:

  • Connect to a test environment

  • Connect to an acceptance environment

Leave these options unchecked if you want to connect to your production environment.

Step 5: Save

Click "Save" to confirm the connection. If everything is correct, your AFAS account is now successfully connected.
