Kill Bill vs Mollie
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Kill Bill and Mollie — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Kill Bill vs Mollie: at a glance
What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
What is Mollie?
Mollie's Payments API now supports embedded saved cards — a real concession to merchants who own their checkout.
Mollie just enabled saving cards during checkout directly via the Payments API, letting merchants build fully embedded 1-click flows without redirecting to Mollie's hosted page. Alongside it: partial credit notes for specific invoice items, a new Methods Component beta for custom low-code checkouts, expanded webhook reference with permission requirements, and integration updates (Prestashop 6.4.3, VirtueMart for Joomla). Several smaller dashboard ergonomics ship in the same window.
Kill Bill vs Mollie: editorial side-by-side
Kill Bill
5.0FINANCE
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
◆ Current state
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible feature work is per-tenant invoice presentation, with branding and localisation becoming configurable rather than hard-coded. The 0.25 line ships regularly but its notes are bare Maven tags, so its direction can't be read from the entries.
◆ Prediction
More invoice-presentation and localisation changes on 0.24.x are likely; what 0.25.x is building toward isn't visible in the entries.
Mollie
5.3FINANCE
Mollie's Payments API now supports embedded saved cards — a real concession to merchants who own their checkout.
◆ Current state
Mollie just enabled saving cards during checkout directly via the Payments API, letting merchants build fully embedded 1-click flows without redirecting to Mollie's hosted page. Alongside it: partial credit notes for specific invoice items, a new Methods Component beta for custom low-code checkouts, expanded webhook reference with permission requirements, and integration updates (Prestashop 6.4.3, VirtueMart for Joomla). Several smaller dashboard ergonomics ship in the same window.
◆ Where it's heading
Mollie is repositioning from a hosted-checkout payments processor toward a more developer-platform shape — saved cards in the Payments API, the Methods Component low-code SDK, and the Unmatched credit transfers API all point the same direction. The webhook reference work and Token ID search in logs suggest the team is building for serious integrators who run Mollie alongside other payment rails.
◆ Prediction
Expect more checkout primitives to migrate from hosted-only to API-accessible (likely subscriptions and recurring billing next), and the Methods Component beta to graduate with deeper customization. Continued European e-commerce platform integrations remain on the conveyor belt.
