Mixed Payments allows customers to make one-time purchases and add an additional service during checkout. Customers can choose any available payment option within Klarna ecosystem for their initial purchase and tokenize another payment option for future transactions.

Common scenarios:

• Mixed basket: Includes a one-time product and a monthly subscription.
• Additional charge: Includes a one-time product with an additional service charged separately.

The Mixed payments flow is enabled by the customer token, with the intent set to buy_and_default_tokenize during the payment session. For further instructions on using the customer token with the correct intent and how to group multiple line items, refer to the FAQ below.

You can use the Klarna payments API to perform three actions related to a customer token:

1. Create an order in a payment session with intent set to  buy_and_default_tokenize.
2. Check the details of a customer token.
3. Cancel a customer token.

In the case of Mixed payments, Klarna will not tokenize the chosen payment option at checkout. Instead, Klarna aims to tokenize a Pay Now option based on the selected payment method (funding source).

For example:

If a customer selects Pay-in-4 (backed by a card) for their initial purchase, Pay Now (backed by the same card) will be tokenized for the additional item. Similarly, if a customer chooses Financing (backed by direct debit) for their initial purchase, Klarna will tokenize a Pay Now version of direct debit.

We recommend creating a session with separate line items. This means only passing the one-time line item during the create_session call, allowing the customer to first pay for their one-time item within the Klarna flow.

Upon successful authorization, the customer token is created and shared with you for any subsequent charges. These additional charges will contain the second line item and be charged by the same merchant id or another.
