On-Site Messaging for iOS

Enable Klarna payment messaging on your online store with Klarna's Mobile SDK and boost transparency and conversion. This includes our pre-qualification feature, which allows customers to check their eligibility for Klarna financing before completing a payment request. This reduces friction and increases confidence, as customers know their options upfront.
