Hi @femiyb Femi — thanks for jumping on this.

We installed the Status Check helper you linked and tested. Result: new Klarna orders now leave “Pending payment” as soon as they’re authorized. On our side we treat an authorized Klarna payment as paid, so we also added a small fallback hook that promotes authorized Klarna orders to Processing (and marks them paid) even if the buyer doesn’t return to the Thank You page. Capture still happens when we set the order to Completed (on shipment).

So far this resolves it for us. For anyone who needs the same behavior, this is the snippet we used:

// Klarna via Mollie: when AUTHORIZED, treat as paid + move to Processing.
function ms_klarna_authorized_processing_and_paid( $order_id, $payment_id ) {
    $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    if ( ! $order ) return;

    // Only Klarna through Mollie
    $klarna_gateways = [
        'mollie_wc_gateway_klarnapaylater',
        'mollie_wc_gateway_klarnapaynow',
        'mollie_wc_gateway_klarnasliceit',
    ];
    if ( ! in_array( $order->get_payment_method(), $klarna_gateways, true ) ) return;

    // Promote status
    if ( $order->has_status( [ 'pending', 'on-hold' ] ) ) {
        $order->update_status(
            'processing',
            'Klarna payment authorized via Mollie (treated as paid; capture on Completed).'
        );
    }

    // Mark WooCommerce order as "paid" for integrations
    if ( method_exists( $order, 'is_paid' ) && ! $order->is_paid() ) {
        $order->set_date_paid( time() );
        $order->save();
    }
}
// Cover Mollie v7/v8 hooks
add_action( 'mollie_payments_order_authorized',   'ms_klarna_authorized_processing_and_paid', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'mollie_payments_payment_authorized', 'ms_klarna_authorized_processing_and_paid', 10, 2 );

Question: do you plan to restore updating the WooCommerce status directly on the payment.authorized webhook in a coming release? That would let us remove the workaround and rely only on the plugin again .

Thanks again!

Thank you!!!!
