What is Klarna In-store?

Klarna Payments for physical stores brings the convenience and flexibility of Klarna's seamless payment solutions to your in-store shopping experience.

Klarna In-store offers a Scan QR solution that makes Klarna's payment options available in physical stores. Klarna transactions are initiated when a merchant presents a QR code to be scanned by the customer. Currently, we offer three flavors of Scan QR: dynamic QR, static QR, and payment link for self-generated QR codes.

In the dynamic QR integration option, a merchant generates a QR code and sends it to a device placed in-store, for example, a payment terminal or a customer-facing screen.

Dynamic QR is the optimal solution for:

  • In-store payment service providers (PSPs), acquirers, and payment gateway providers
  • self-checkout kiosksĀ 
  • point-of-sale (POS) system providers and merchants with customer-facing screens

If thereā€™s no customer-facing digital device available in-store, the merchant places a printed static QR code close to the checkout. Static QR is the optimal solution for point-of-sale (POS) system providers and merchants without a customer-facing screen.

A customer scans the QR code using their phone, either with the Klarna app or directly using the phoneā€™s camera.Ā Then, the customer completes the payment and an order is created in Klarna's systems and assigned an identifier.

If a partner wants to customize the size and the format of the QR code, they can use a payment link to generate their own QR code. This option is a good fit with payment terminal integrations.
