# Mollie Recurring
Here you can see an example of how easy it is to use [Mollie recurring](https://docs.mollie.com/payments/recurring) payments.
## Create a customer
First of all you need to [create a new customer](https://docs.mollie.com/payments/recurring#payments-recurring-first-payment) (step 1), this is pretty straight forward
```php
$customer = Mollie::api()->customers()->create([
'name' => 'John Doe',
'email' => 'john@doe.com',
]);
```
## Initial Payment
After creating the user, you can [start a payment](https://docs.mollie.com/payments/recurring#payments-recurring-first-payment) (step 3), it's important to set `sequenceType` to `first`, this will generate a mandate on Mollie's end that can be used to do direct charges. Without setting the `method` the payment screen of Mollie will display your methods that support recurring payments.
```php
$payment = Mollie::api()->payments()->create([
'amount' => [
'currency' => 'EUR',
'value' => '25.00', // You must send the correct number of decimals, thus we enforce the use of strings
],
'customerId' => $customer->id,
'sequenceType' => 'first',
'description' => 'My Initial Payment',
'redirectUrl' => 'https://domain.com/return',
'webhookUrl' => route('webhooks.mollie'),
]);
// Redirect the user to Mollie's payment screen.
return redirect($payment->getCheckoutUrl(), 303);
```
## Direct Charge
After doing the initial payment, you may [charge the users card/account directly](https://docs.mollie.com/payments/recurring#payments-recurring-charging-on-demand). Make sure there's a valid mandate connected to the customer. In case there are multiple mandates at least one should have `status` set to `valid`. Checking mandates is easy:
```php
$mandates = Mollie::api()->mandates()->listFor($customer);
```
If any of the mandates is valid, charging the user is a piece of cake. Make sure `sequenceType` is set to `recurring`.
```php
$payment = Mollie::api()->payments()->create([
'amount' => [
'currency' => 'EUR',
'value' => '25.00', // You must send the correct number of decimals, thus we enforce the use of strings
],
'customerId' => $customer->id,
'sequenceType' => 'recurring',
'description' => 'Direct Charge',
'webhookUrl' => route('webhooks.mollie'),
]);
```
Like any other payment, Mollie will call your webhook to register the payment status so don't forget to save the transaction id to your database.
