Klarna Docs - Configuration

Configuration

Learn about configuration options available for the Klarna checkout module.

Integrate Klarna checkout quickly by changing a few settings in the Admin. For further configuration, use advanced options as needed.

The Klarna checkout module is also extensible and allows merchants to easily enhance and customize certain features to fit specific needs.

Adobe Commerce uses a base currency that is configured at the website level (not store view) along with tax configuration done at the website level (not store view). To avoid rounding and mismatch issues we only work with base currency and do not support using display currency (which is used by the currency switcher). 

If you want to support multiple currencies, you need to setup multiple websites (with different URLs, configured in the shop admin at the Website level, not store view) for each currency.

After installation of the Klarna checkout module, you need to adjust a few settings to enable Klarna checkout.

These settings can be found by following the Admin navigation path of: Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods > Klarna > Klarna API.

OptionDescription
API Version (Endpoint)The API version you should connect to. This is based on your region.
Merchant IDYour merchant ID for API interaction. (Provided to you by Klarna)
Shared secret (Password)Your private password for API interaction. (Provided to you by Klarna)
Test Mode (Mode)Credentials are specific to each environment. Select Disabled (Production) for Live
Debug Mode (Logging)API requests to Klarna are logged in the default log directory. (Should not be enabled on production. Sensitive information is logged.)

Additional options can be configured for Klarna checkout to adjust checkout behavior. You can find these settings in the Admin under the following paths:

  • Stores > Configuration > Sales > Checkout > Klarna Checkout
  • Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods > Klarna > Klarna Checkout

Restriction of checkout by customer group

Klarna checkout can be restricted to select customer groups.

To restrict Klarna checkout from selected customer groups, select the groups in the Admin. All non-selected groups will be presented with your existing checkout. If no groups are selected, all customers will be directed to Klarna checkout.

External payment methods

Alternative payment methods can be displayed within Klarna checkout as an alternative to Klarna’s standard offering. These options will appear when the customer chooses a payment method before completing the purchase.

Note that only certain external payment methods are supported by Klarna checkout (e.g. PayPal, Vipps, and more)

Klarna checkout won't appear until the payment method is enabled. The Klarna checkout module has several additional features that you can enable and configure to modify the checkout experience.
