Update a Payment

How to update an existing payment using the Mollie API.

The Code

use Mollie\Api\Http\Requests\GetPaymentRequest;
use Mollie\Api\Http\Requests\UpdatePaymentRequest;

try {
    // First retrieve the payment you want to update
    $payment = $mollie->send(
        new GetPaymentRequest(
            id: 'tr_7UhSN1zuXS'
        )
    );

    // Update specific payment fields
    $newOrderId = 98765;
    $payment = $mollie->send(
        new UpdatePaymentRequest(
            id: $payment->id,
            description: "Order #{$newOrderId}",
            redirectUrl: 'https://example.com/return.php?order_id=' . $newOrderId,
            metadata: ['order_id' => $newOrderId]
            // Fields we don't specify will keep their current values:
            // - webhookUrl
            // - cancelUrl
            // - etc.
        )
    );

    // Redirect the customer to complete the payment
    header('Location: ' . $payment->getCheckoutUrl(), true, 303);
} catch (\Mollie\Api\Exceptions\ApiException $e) {
    echo "API call failed: " . htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage());
}
