Answer Klarna Payment Status Questions for WooCommerce on WhatsApp
Yes. AeroChat works directly with Klarna for WooCommerce stores. When a shopper asks whether their Klarna payment went through, AeroChat reads the WooCommerce order, finds its Klarna order and tells them whether Klarna shows it as authorized, captured or canceled, and what that means for them.
This recipe answers Klarna payment questions from the records WooCommerce and Klarna hold. Part of connecting Klarna for WooCommerce to WhatsApp and AI chat.
What happens today
A shopper pays with Klarna, sees no charge yet and worries the order failed. Someone opens WooCommerce, finds the order, then logs in to the Klarna Merchant Portal to check it, and replies. Some shoppers order a second time with a card while they wait.
The flow that works
- The shopper asks about their Klarna payment.
- AeroChat asks for the order number and checks it belongs to them.
- It reads the WooCommerce order and the Klarna order reference saved on it.
- It reads the Klarna order and its captures.
- It explains the result in plain words.
What it looks like on WhatsApp
Customer: I used Klarna for order #8901 but nothing’s been charged. Is the order OK? (example)
AeroChat: Yes. Klarna approved your purchase for $126 and order #8901 is being packed. Klarna starts your plan when the order ships, so nothing is charged before then.
In WooCommerce and Klarna: nothing changes. AeroChat read the order and the Klarna order behind it.
The recipe
Copy this into AeroChat
When a customer asks whether their Klarna payment went through, follow these steps.
- Ask for their order number and check that the email or phone number on the WooCommerce order matches them.
- Read the order’s status and the Klarna order reference the plugin saved on it.
- Read that order in Klarna, with its captures.
- If it is authorized, tell them Klarna approved the purchase and the order is being prepared. If it is captured, tell them it has shipped and Klarna has started their plan. If it is canceled, tell them they were not charged and offer to help them order again.
- For due dates or their payment schedule, point them to their Klarna account.
Never share another customer’s order. Never promise Klarna approval. Reply in the customer’s language.
Match the wording on capture to the order status your Klarna plugin captures at before you paste it.
What to connect
- Your WooCommerce store. Built in. Add a WooCommerce REST API key with read access so AeroChat can read orders.
- Klarna. Get an API key from the Klarna Merchant Portal. Start with a test key. Paste it in when AeroChat asks.
After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist: connect WooCommerce and Klarna, add your knowledge base if the recipe uses one, then switch it on. If it built the connection from Klarna’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
- How you explain the time between approval and capture.
- Whether AeroChat offers a reorder when a Klarna order was canceled.
- Who gets the handover when WooCommerce and Klarna disagree.
The result to expect
Shoppers know their Klarna order is safe, and fewer of them pay twice or cancel out of worry.
