When you add Express Checkout to the store, a button prompting customers to pay with Klarna is displayed in checkout.

To be able to offer Express Checkout, you have to first enable Klarna in your WooCommerce store by installing the Klarna for WooCommerce plugin.

Express Checkout is applied to both product and cart pages for a Woo shop, dependent upon compatibility with the shop's theme. To install Express checkout in a WooCommerce store, follow these steps:

1. In the Klarna Merchant portal, go to Payment settings > Client identifiers. There you can click Manage origins and enter your store's URL in the Register new origin section.

2. Proceed to add your store's URL to the allow list (Register new origin) and to generate the Klarna Client ID.
