Before you start with Hosted Payment Page

Integrate Klarna's Hosted Payment Page (HPP) with Klarna Payments and Order Management to deliver a seamless consumer payment experience and efficient order processing.

Technically, HPP is a companion service to Klarna Payments, which can be referred as a Payment Provider. You will have to integrate one of these APIs to create a Payment Session, and then use HPP to deliver the Payment experience to your consumers.

A complete payment session will involve three of Klarna services:

Klarna Payments - Payment API to start a Payment session (KP Session).
Hosted Payment Page - API to distribute the Payment session to your Consumer.
Order Management - Order API to capture payment or refund the order that was created.

An integration guide is available for:

In this document, the term Payment Provider refers to Klarna Payments and Payment Session refers to the corresponding KP Session on Klarna Payments.

Generic integration

The overall integration sequences between the backend of the integrator, the Consumer and Klarna depends on the use case (ie eCommerce, In-store or Telesales) as all interactions depend on the distribution mechanism and how the status of the HPP Session is read.

This diagram shows the common step between these integrations.
