Klarna Docs - Ways to integrate on Shopify
Ways to integrate on Shopify

This article provides information on integrating Klarna with your Shopify store, including recommended integration methods.

Klarna can be integrated with a Shopify store via multiple integration methods. We recommend that only one of the following integration methods is active in the checkout:

1. Direct integration

A direct, additional payment method, for all Klarna payments regions, supported by Klarna.

2. Within Shopify Payments Powered by Stripe

Klarna can be added as a local payment method supported by Shopify through their Payments platform which is integrated via [[Stripe Partnership overview|Stripe]].

Read more about adding Klarna as a local payment method on Shopify documentation.

Shopify Payments market availability

Klarna is available through Shopify Payments to partners integrated in the following markets.

  • Partners from Austria, Germany and Sweden:

    • Klarna is enabled as default for partners from these markets that enable Shopify Payments on their Shopify store.

    • Partners from these markets can enable Klarna to customers in issuing markets - Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and United Kingdom.

    • The configuration of newly onboarded partners is defined by Stripe onboarding template TK115251.

3. Through other integrations

Klarna can be enabled through other integrations, based on region, such as Mollie, Global-e, and others. Shopify documentation lists available payment options by region, for example, in Sweden, and each of these is supported by the integrator.

To check which Klarna integration is active in your store, go to your Shopify admin > Settings > Payments to review your store's active payment methods.

You can also review the names of Klarna payment methods in your store's checkout. Refer to the translated list of supported Klarna payment methods. If Klarna is listed multiple times in checkout (for example, as Pay now with Klarna, Pay later with Klarna, and Finance with Klarna), the integration isn't supported directly by Klarna, but rather supported by the integrating partner.

Integrating and using Klarna as an alternative payment method requires an active Klarna account. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up at http://klarna.com/business.

Once Klarna has been successfully integrated, you can make use of the Klarna On-site messaging app, available for free in the Shopify app store. In summary:

  • Klarna can be integrated into a Shopify store in different ways, such as additional payment method, local payment method, and other integrations based on region like Mollie or Global-e.
  • Checking the active Klarna integration in the store is possible through Shopify admin > Settings.
  • A successful integration enables the free use of the Klarna On-Site Messaging app.
