Send Mollie Payment Links on WhatsApp
This recipe sends a Mollie payment link for the exact amount agreed in chat, and confirms the order or booking once Mollie shows it as paid. Part of connecting Mollie to WhatsApp and AI chat.
What happens today
A customer agrees an order on WhatsApp and asks how to pay. Someone opens the Mollie Dashboard, creates a payment link, pastes it into the chat and tries to remember to check it. Links go out with the wrong amount, or get paid without anyone noticing, so the order waits.
The flow that works
- AeroChat confirms the items or service and the total with the customer.
- It creates a Mollie payment link for that amount, with the order number in the description.
- It sends the link in the chat with the total and when it expires.
- When the customer says they have paid, it checks the link in Mollie.
- If it is paid, it confirms the order. If the payment failed or the link expired, it sends a new one.
The recipe
Copy this into AeroChat
When a customer confirms an order, a booking or a fee, follow these steps.
- Read back what they are paying for and the total, and ask them to confirm.
- Create a Mollie payment link for the total, with the order or booking number and a short list of items in the description.
- Set it to expire in 24 hours (example).
- Send the link with the amount and the expiry time.
- When they say they have paid, check the link. If it is paid, confirm the order or booking with the details. If not, tell them it has not come through yet and share the link again.
- If the payment failed or the link has expired, create a new link for the same amount.
Never ask for card or bank details in the chat. Reply in the customer’s language.
Change the expiry time and wording to your own before you paste it. To take a deposit instead of the full amount, say so in the recipe, for example “send a link for a EUR 25 deposit (example) to hold the booking”.
What to connect
- Mollie. In your Mollie Dashboard, open Developers, then API keys, and copy the test key for your website profile. Paste it in when AeroChat asks. Switch to the live key once you have tested.
- Your price list. Upload your products or services and prices to AeroChat so the amounts it quotes match what you charge.
After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist: connect Mollie, add your knowledge base if the recipe uses one, then switch it on. If it built the connection from Mollie’s public documentation, the checklist asks you to check it once against the current docs.
Using a different system? If it has a public API, it connects to AeroChat the same way: describe what you want, paste in its key, and it runs.

What you still decide
- Full payment or a deposit, and how much.
- How long a link stays open.
- Which payment methods the link allows.
The result to expect
Every order agreed in chat gets a Mollie link for the right amount, in the conversation the customer is already in. Fewer orders stall between “yes” and payment, and nobody creates links by hand.
Measure it with your own numbers: time from order to payment, and links that expire unpaid, for a month before and after.
Next: answer payment questions from Mollie.
