Theme

The theme defines the button’s color. You can change the theme by setting the value of the theme attribute.

Apart from the default dark theme, you can apply the light theme to have the button displayed in white, or the outlined theme to render the white button with an outline.

Default theme (dark)

The button’s default theme color is dark. As the theme attribute is optional, the default theme is applied both when you set the attribute to default or if you omit it from the source code altogether. Don’t use default theme on black or dark backgrounds. The button must be used on backgrounds that provide sufficient contrast.

We recommend using the default theme as it’s widely recognized by Klarna customers and looks good on light backgrounds.
