If you’re looking to make your online shopping experience for your customers easy and stress-free, then Klarna should definitely be considered. The idea of “Shop now, pay later” allows customers to enjoy a more relaxing online shop and not have to worry about paying the full cost of their purchase up front. Instead, they can buy a product, enjoy it straight away, and worry about the funds at a later stage. The checkout process is, therefore, made much simpler and smoother with just a one-click approach, helping boost conversion rates and merchant business.

3 Payment Options
Pay in 3 installments
This option allows your customers to purchase a product and then repay the cost for the item(s) in 3 equal monthly installments. The costs are both interest and fee-free and will automatically be collected from the card inputted by the customer at checkout. This is a hassle-free setup allowing for customers to try out product costs to be spread out and does not rely on the customer having to remember to make the payments. This is a great solution for customers who are not prepared to pay the full cost on the day of the purchase and need a bit more time.
Pay up to 30 days later
Your customers can buy a product from your site and have up to 30 days after the order is sent out to pay for the purchase. This is a particularly special option as your customers are able to try out the product before they have processed payment. Klarna will also send out friendly reminders to the customer so they don’t risk missing the payment deadline.
6-36 month financing
Giving your customers the financing option allows them to spread out their transaction cost over 6 to 36 months. These flexible payment plans are ideal for customers buying pricier items, with Klarna’s average purchase value with financing standing at £2000.
