28/01/2025At Loggix BV, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored software solutions that connect the dots between backend functionality and user-friendly frontends. Our latest project involved integrating an e-commerce payment workflow for a commercial real estate portal. Built on a robust combination of Claris FileMaker and FMBetterForms, this portal offers property owners a seamless experience while allowing administrators to manage complex backend processes effortlessly.

The Challenge: Managing Subscriptions for Uploaded Properties
The portal allows users to upload properties to the database, with address verification ensuring the property belongs to a supported region. However, users need an active subscription to upload properties in specific regions. To streamline this process, we needed to:
1. Provide flexible subscription options – monthly or yearly plans.
2. Enable immediate payment processing via a trusted provider.
3. Automate subscription activation and recurring payment mandates upon successful transactions.
The Solution: FileMaker and Mollie API Integration
Our solution revolved around integrating the portal with Mollie, a trusted Dutch payment gateway known for its reliability and ease of use. Here’s how we brought the workflow to life:
1. User Subscription Process:
When users attempt to upload a property in a region outside their existing subscription, they are prompted to choose between a monthly or yearly plan. This option is presented seamlessly in the FMBetterForms-based frontend.
2. Payment Processing with Mollie:
Upon selecting a subscription plan, users are directed to Mollie’s secure payment gateway. Here, they can complete the payment using their preferred method, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy transaction experience.
3. Webhook Automation for Payment Status Updates:
Once the payment is completed, Mollie triggers a webhook call to the FMBetterForms framework. This call communicates the payment status back to the FileMaker database, which processes the information in real time.
4. Subscription Activation and Mandate Creation:
Upon successful payment confirmation, FileMaker automatically activates the user’s subscription and generates a mandate for future recurring payments. This ensures uninterrupted access for users and simplifies subscription management for administrators.
Results: A Streamlined Experience for All
This integration has transformed the way users interact with the portal and manage their subscriptions. Key benefits include:
• Frictionless User Experience: Users can activate subscriptions instantly without manual intervention.
• Automated Processes: Administrators save time with automated payment status tracking and subscription management.
• Scalable Solution: The system is designed to handle future expansions, such as additional payment options or subscription tiers.
At Loggix BV, we thrive on solving unique challenges like these. By combining the flexibility of Claris FileMaker, the dynamic capabilities of FMBetterForms, and the reliability of Mollie, we’ve delivered a solution that ensures both client satisfaction and end-user convenience.
