Make sure your order confirmation button contains the required wording in order to make the consumer legally obligated to pay. A court ruling (case C-249-21) has established a principle regarding what copy needs to be displayed on the order confirmation button in retailers' checkout. A legal obligation to pay will only arise if the customer is made explicitly aware of their obligation to pay for the order. This means that the wording on the order confirmation button must include the word “pay” in some capacity; e.g. “order & pay”, “pay my order”, “order with payment obligation”, etc.
It is the responsibility of each individual online retailer who has integrated Klarna Payments to ensure compliance with the above-mentioned principle since the retailer controls the order confirmation button. In order to proactively mitigate potential complications regarding future collection claims, all retailers will have to conduct their own legal analysis of the abovementioned court case and update their respective order confirmation buttons accordingly to ensure that the wording is compliant with the aforementioned principle.
To help shoppers see and select Klarna, display the payment method name, Klarna badge, category, and payment description.
Don’t present the payment method without the Klarna badge as it decreases brand recognition and usage.
Don’t create your own descriptions. We ensure that the descriptions provided are up-to-date and in line with legal requirements.
