Why Approval Processes and Payments Need Couples Therapy

Let's be real – payment approvals are where good ideas go to die. Someone submits an invoice. It gets lost in Slack. Finance asks for three versions of the same document. The vendor starts sending passive-aggressive follow-ups. Meanwhile, Mollie's sitting there ready to process payments in seconds... if only your team could agree on which button to press.

That's where ApproveThis comes in – we're the duct tape between your payment processor and your approval chaos. When you connect Mollie to ApproveThis through Zapier, you're not just automating workflows. You're giving your finance team superpowers while keeping external partners out of your actual systems. No more license juggling, no more approval black holes – just money moving where it needs to go.

Your New Payment Approval Playbook

Most companies use Mollie for two things: taking money in and sending money out. We're about to fix both sides.

Use Case 1: The Customer Onboarding Speedrun

Problem: New customer comes through Mollie. Sales high-fives. Then legal needs to vet the contract, finance needs to verify payment terms, and someone's cousin in operations has to "just take a quick look."

Solution: Auto-create approval requests in ApproveThis when Mollie gets a new customer. Route it to exactly who needs to sign off – with deadline reminders that actually work. Approvers click yes/no in email without ever touching Mollie. Customer gets activated 83% faster (actual math: we counted the swearing).

Who kills it: SaaS companies scaling their free trials, agencies onboarding retainer clients.

Use Case 2: Invoice Approval Jiu-Jitsu

Problem: Your project manager approves a vendor invoice in Mollie. Accounting can't find the purchase order. The vendor wants to charge late fees. Everyone's digging through old emails at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

Solution: New Mollie invoice? Freeze payment until ApproveThis gets matching docs. Set conditional rules: under $500? Auto-approve. Over $5k? Escalate to CFO. Attach files directly to the approval thread. Audit trail built-in. Friday evenings suddenly become... actually free.

Who kills it: E-commerce teams managing 50+ suppliers, consultants with project-based billing.

Use Case 3: The Approval Domino Effect

Problem: Marketing gets approval for a $20k ad spend. Great! Now someone has to manually create the Mollie payment. Then someone else has to check it. Then the payment gets delayed because Karen from legal is on vacation.

Solution: When ApproveThis gives the green light, Zapier automatically creates the Mollie payment. Set up vacation delegation so Karen's backup gets notified. Add calculated fields to cross-check budgets in real-time. Payments move when they should – no human babysitting required.

Who kills it: Marketing agencies with client ad budgets, startups managing tight cash flow.

Setup That Doesn't Need an IT Degree

1. Pick your battleground: Choose a trigger in Mollie (new customer, invoice, etc.)
2. Connect the pipes: Use Zapier to link to ApproveThis' "Create Request" action
3. Set the rules: Add approval thresholds, assign groups, enable email approvals
4. Test drive: Approve a test payment yourself → watch Mollie process it automatically

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like invoice approvals) before automating your entire AR process. Baby steps prevent CFO heartburn.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Use This

Finance: They stop being the approval police. Set thresholds so small expenses auto-approve while big ones get scrutiny. Real-time budget calculations prevent "Oops, we overspent" meetings.

Sales: New deals get processed before the client changes their mind. Commission approvals happen in hours, not weeks. Yes, this affects their mood.

Operations: Track every payment approval in one dashboard instead of 17 tabs. Automatic reminders mean they can finally stop nagging people.

External partners: Vendors get approval status updates without accessing your Mollie account. Clients see professional workflows instead of email chains. Legal stops writing angry memos about compliance.

The Fine Print That Actually Matters

• Approvers don't need Mollie licenses – huge savings if you work with freelancers or client teams
• Approval groups can require 2/3 sign-offs instead of everyone – perfect for consensus-averse teams
• Vacation mode automatically reroutes approvals – no more "Out of Office" black holes
• Every action is timestamped – makes audits slightly less soul-crushing

Time to Stop Approving This Manual Crap

You didn't get into business to babysit payment approvals. Mollie handles the money – let ApproveThis handle the politics. Connect them through Zapier and suddenly, payments flow while your team actually does meaningful work.
