Implementation
Can I extend my BNPL payment deadline?
Yes, you can extend your BNPL payment deadline using Chatref’s AI agents and custom actions. Upload your extension policies and the agent automatically handles requests, offering customers repayment flexibility and processing deadline changes in real time - no manual intervention required.
How AI Agents Handle BNPL Extension Requests
Your Chatref AI agent is trained on your BNPL extension policies, terms, and eligibility criteria. When a customer asks “Can I extend my payment deadline?”, the agent instantly retrieves the grounded information from your own documents. It can explain options, check if the customer qualifies, and walk them through the process - all in a natural, on-brand conversation that never guesses or hallucinates.
Configuring Custom Actions for Deadline Changes
Use Chatref’s custom-actions to turn a simple query into a fully automated deadline change. Set up an action that:
- Collects the order ID, reason for extension, and preferred new date right inside the chat.
- Triggers your backend system (via webhook, API call, or ticketing tool) to extend the deadline.
- Sends a confirmation message back to the customer with the updated date and any associated fees.
Because the action is grounded in your policy, the AI only offers extensions that match your business rules.
Delivering Repayment Flexibility Through Automated Workflows
With the AI agent handling extension requests end-to-end, you provide consistent repayment flexibility without adding load to your support team. The agent can handle common scenarios like one-time grace periods, fee waivers for loyal customers, or multi-installment adjustments - all defined in your uploaded documents. Your team only steps in for edge cases, and they get full context from the chat thread when they do.
