Payment Reminder Messages
In collaboration with Mollie payments, we have made it possible to notify customers about unfinished payments using an e-mail. With the MessageBird integration, we can share this payment link directly with them through a text message so the customers can directly revive their order.

Please note that;
- This feature is only available when the Mollie Payments plugin is installed and enabled;
- The message is only sent if the customer didn't finish their order in a certain time period.
