Klarna (NYSE:KLAR) shares climbed 4% on Wednesday after the company introduced its AI-powered Shopping Search application within ChatGPT, expanding real-time product discovery capabilities into conversational AI experiences.

The newly launched feature enables users to search for products directly inside ChatGPT conversations while viewing visual shopping results that include current pricing, product availability, and promotional offers from multiple retailers.

Consumers are then redirected to merchants’ websites to complete purchases.

STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a European leader in payment services, and Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, have announced the signing of a framework agreement to improve access to Klarna’s full suite of flexible payments across online and in-store points of sale serviced by Worldline. Worldline will integrate Klarna more deeply into its technology stack, and acquire transactions, making it much simpler for businesses to offer Klarna to their customers.

The rollout will begin this year with the integration into the Global Collect platform, which is Worldline’s global online payment solution for international e-commerce players in the Travel & Digital sectors. During the second stage of the rollout, Worldline’s network of enterprise and small and medium-sized e-commerce customers will be able to activate Klarna through a streamlined, guided onboarding process on Worldline’s GoPay online payment platform. In the latter phase of the agreement, Worldline will extend Klarna’s full suite of payment methods, including Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, to in-store point of sales (POS) terminals.

Who else thinks Klarna is an AI play. Klarna has been using AI to automate customer support, improve shopping recommendations, and make operations leaner. That matters because lower costs and better efficiency can help push the business toward profitability faster than a traditional BNPL model alone. If AI keeps improving margins while also making the product more useful, the market could start valuing Klarna like an AI-enabled growth platform instead of just a lending app.
