This product, Klarna Checkout (v2) is deprecated. Go to the current version

Introduction

Klarna offers an XML-RPC API to handle all orders which you can integrate with your back-office system in order to simplify your order management flows.

Using this API you can cancel , activate , update and refund orders.

Environment information

To test Klarna’s services, you need to apply for API credentials for the test environment. The test environment is exactly the same as Klarna’s live system, except no real invoices will be created and no credit checks are made.

To connect to the test environment, you need to change the host and port in the Klarna client libraries .

Host: payment.testdrive.klarna.com Port: 443

Digest

A digest is a cryptographic hash function that takes a block of data and returns a fixed-size bit string. The digest is used to verify the integrity of the call as well as to identify the caller, and sent in as a base64 encoded string.

Note: In addition to the encryption, you also need to format the input into hexadecimal format before you do the encoding.

Supported hashing algorithms are, in descending order of recommendation:

SHA-512
SHA-384
SHA-256
SHA-128
MD5 (deprecated)

The use of MD5 is strongly discouraged, and has been deprecated.

Error handling

When an error occurs, Klarna will respond with an error code and a message . The error message language is determined by the language code in the API call. If no language code can be used, Klarna will answer with the language of the consumer.

update

The update function is used to update a reservation. This is useful when a consumer might want to change their order. Please note that Klarna may in some cases deny an update request.

Digest

Consist of all values from the variables which you send in the call separated with a colon without the square brackets. If you are not sending a specific struct in update_info, remove that from the digest. Shared secret must be the last variable.

If goods list is specified, include artno and qty for each product. Use title if artno isn’t specified. If billing and/or delivery address is specified, specify the address fields that are set.

Example: base64encode(hex(sha512( “4:1:[client_vsn]:[eid]:[rno] (:[dlv_careof])(:[dlv_street])(:[dlv_zip])(:[dlv_city]) (:[dlv_country])(:[dlv_fname])(:[dlv_lname]) (:[bill_careof])(:[bill_street])(:[bill_zip])(:[bill_city]) (:[bill_country])(:[bill_fname])(:[bill_lname]) (:[artno|title]:[qty]) (:[orderid1])(:[orderid2]) :[shared_secret]”)))

Return value

split_reservation (deprecated)

The split_reservation function is used to split a reservation due to for example outstanding articles.

Please note: split_reservation function does not work with Klarna Checkout reservations.

Digest

Consist of the values from eid, rno, split_amount and secret (in this order) separated with a colon without the square brackets.

Example: base64encode(hex(sha512("[eid]:[rno]:[split_amount]:[shared_secret]")))

Return value

Array - [rno, orderStatus]

The value of “rno” is the reservation number for the new reservation.

The value of “orderStatus” shows if the reservation can be delivered immediately or requires manual approval. If you receive “Pending”, you can use check_order_status to query Klarna for a new status.

1 = OK 2 = Pending
