Send Mollie Payment Links for WooCommerce Orders on WhatsApp
Yes. AeroChat works directly with Mollie Payments for WooCommerce stores. When a shopper orders in the chat, AeroChat creates the order in WooCommerce, sends a Mollie payment link for the exact total and sets the order to processing once Mollie shows it as paid.
This recipe turns “can I just pay here?” into a paid WooCommerce order without sending the shopper back to your checkout. Part of connecting Mollie Payments for WooCommerce to WhatsApp and AI chat.
What happens today
A shopper asks on WhatsApp for two items in a specific color and wants to pay now. Someone builds a cart, sends the store link and hopes the shopper finds the same items again. Or they create a manual order in WooCommerce, copy the payment page link, and check Mollie later to see whether it was paid. Shoppers who get lost on the way buy somewhere else.
The flow that works
- The shopper says what they want to buy.
- AeroChat confirms the products, variants, quantities and delivery address, and quotes the total with shipping from WooCommerce.
- It creates the order in WooCommerce with status pending payment.
- It creates a Mollie payment link for the order total, with the order number in the description, and sends it.
- The shopper pays on Mollie’s checkout with any method you have switched on.
- Once Mollie shows the link as paid, AeroChat sets the order to processing, adds a note and confirms in the chat.
What it looks like on WhatsApp
Customer: Can I order the ceramic pour-over set in sand and pay here? Delivery to Utrecht. (example)
AeroChat: Yes. The ceramic pour-over set in sand is €48, plus €5 delivery to Utrecht, €53 in total. Shall I place the order?
Customer: Yes please.
AeroChat: Here’s your Mollie payment link for order #6031. It’s valid for 24 hours.
AeroChat: Payment received, thank you. Order #6031 is confirmed and ships tomorrow.
In WooCommerce and Mollie: order #6031 is created, then set to processing with the note “Paid in chat by Mollie”. In Mollie, a payment link for €53 shows as paid.
The recipe
Copy this into AeroChat
When a shopper wants to buy in the chat, follow these steps.
- Find the products in our WooCommerce catalog and confirm the variant, quantity and delivery address. If something is out of stock, say so and suggest the closest variant in stock.
- Quote the total with shipping from our WooCommerce shipping zones, and only apply a coupon that is active. Ask them to confirm.
- Create the order in WooCommerce with status pending payment, with the items, address, shipping and their email or phone number.
- Create a Mollie payment link for the order total with the description “Order” and the WooCommerce order number, set to expire in 24 hours (example). Send the link with the amount.
- When Mollie shows the link as paid, set the WooCommerce order to processing, add the note “Paid in chat by Mollie” with the Mollie payment ID, and confirm the order number and items in the chat.
- If the link expires unpaid, leave the order as pending payment and offer a new link.
Never ask for card or bank details in the chat. Never create a second order for the same purchase. Reply in the customer’s language.
Change the expiry time to match how long you hold stock before you paste it.
What to connect
- Your WooCommerce store. Built in. Install the AeroChat WordPress plugin to sync your catalog, then add a WooCommerce REST API key with read and write access so AeroChat can create orders and update their status.
- Mollie. In your Mollie Dashboard, open Developers, then API keys, and copy the key for the website profile your WooCommerce store uses. Start with the 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 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.
Can’t find your tool? Message us in the chat on this page and we’ll tell you how it connects.
What you still decide
- How long a payment link stays valid and how long you hold the stock.
- Which Mollie payment methods the link offers, all of them or only some.
- Whether orders paid in chat get a tag or note your team looks for when packing.
The result to expect
Shoppers who decide in the chat pay in the chat, and the paid order lands in WooCommerce ready to pack. Nobody on your team builds manual orders or checks Mollie by hand.
Measure it with your own numbers: orders paid through chat links per month, and how many links were paid before they expired.
