"asset_urls": {},
"identifier": "klarna",
"name": "Pay with Klarna"
}

Learn how to handle responses to the load() call.
If your customer updates the cart after the authorize() call, you can share updates with Klarna in two ways:
authorize() call with updated details to start a new risk and fraud assessment process.authorize() call, you'll get a new authorization_token. Make sure to use the new token to place an order.init(), load(), and authorize() calls. A reauthorize() call can handle this and any necessary customer communication in fullscreen modals.If you're integrating Klarna payments in a multistep checkout following our best practices guide, you don't need to call authorize() as the authorization happens at the last step of the purchase journey.
We recommend you display modals launched during re-authorization as the customer might need to provide some input to complete the purchase.
