How do I activate Klarna as a payment method?

You can add Klarna in your Mollie Dashboard. When the payment method is activated, you can link it to your website with our Orders API or via one of our supported integrations. With Klarna and its flexible payment options, give your customers the ability to buy what they love today. You always get paid in full and upfront, your customers pay at a later date. It doesn’t get simpler.

 

What you need to know in advance

  • Provide Klarna with proof of shipment.
  • Reply within 24 hours if Klarna contacts you.

 

What’s inside the Klarna offer

Klarna: Pay later

If your customer pays with Pay Later, they can choose to pay for their purchase within 30 days of it being shipped, always interest-free. For an additional fee, your customer can extend this to 60 days.

 

Klarna: Pay in 3

With Pay in 3 customers can pay securely and immediately using their VISA or Mastercard Credit/Debit Card or Direct Debit over 3 interest free instalments. Shoppers get the freedom to spread the cost interest-free over time. As a merchant, you are protected against customer non-payment risk and are paid out 5 business days after you mark the order as shipped. Thanks to the real-time transaction confirmation that you’ll receive, you can dispatch the goods to your customers immediately and reap the rewards of payout guarantees.

 

Klarna: Pay now

With Pay now, customers can pay for one-off transactions securely and immediately using their own online banking details through bank transfers or direct debit orders. As a merchant, you’re protected against customer non-payment risk and are paid out 5 business days after the order is shipped.

 

Klarna: Financing

Klarna Financing: Financing allows you to spread the payments of your sale over up to 24 months. Let your customers finance their purchases and spread the cost over time. This Klarna product is not available for all merchants and needs to be enabled separately.

Activate Klarna Financing in the UK: In order to be able to offer Klarna Financing you need to have a UK Credit Broker License and be registered at the UK government as such.
