Do's

Don'ts

Before going through the different ways Klarna can be displayed at the checkout, let’s review all the assets available at checkout:

1. Payment Descriptor: name of the payment method in merchant checkout, automatically returned by Klarna in the API call.
2. Payment Subheader (optional): detailed description of available payment options. 
3. Klarna Badge: it is shown next to the payment descriptor.
4. The Widget: it is loaded below the Payment Descriptor. It contains banners for Klarna Deals and 0% Financing promotion, and buyers protection information together with learn more.

Klarna API will respond automatically with corresponding payment descriptor for the market and language indicated by locale parameter in the API request.

While the implementation of the subheader is optional, we highly recommend the implementation of it to indicate to your customers the available payment methods that will be available if they continue with "Pay with Klarna" option.

Klarna Payments solution enables different payments method across all markets, based on the local regulations and other considerations, you may require to present Klarna options in a particular manner.

Our recommended way is presenting Klarna as a unique payment method in your checkout will allow a simplified and a cleaner checkout.

Avoid using copies that are dependent on what payment options the customer have like:
