Woo is a flexible, open-source eCommerce solution built on WordPress, enabling entrepreneurs and businesses to create a customizable online store with ease. As the world's most popular eCommerce platform, it combines the power of WordPress's flexibility with robust eCommerce features, allowing for complete control over the digital storefront. From product listings and payment processing to inventory management and customer insights, Woo offers a comprehensive suite of tools to launch, manage, and grow an online business. It's the go-to choice for those looking to seamlessly integrate commerce with content.

Klarna on Woo allows your customers to select our payment methods in a seamless checkout experience. Depending on your contracted Klarna payments solution, you can integrate via either our Klarna payments or Klarna checkout plugin.

Before you start integrating Woo for Klarna, there are a few things you need to prepare in advance:

  • Check the minimum PHP, WordPress, and Woo versions for the Klarna payments plugin here
  • Generate API credentials via the Klarna Merchant portal to connect Klarna to your WooCommerce store.
  • Sign up for a Klarna production account here.
  • Sign up for a Klarna playground account here. Test mode only works with a playground account.

The Klarna payments plugin provides your existing Woo checkout with a Klarna-hosted payment widget alongside your other existing payment methods. With Klarna payments, your customers select their preferred payment method at the Woo checkout and complete their purchases. By integrating Klarna payments with your online store, you have more control over the checkout experience.

Within Order management, you have control of different operations with the orders created when your customers pay with Klarna.

Use Order management to execute tasks before, during, and after fulfilling the orders.

You can perform basic tasks to handle orders and facilitate your customer's post-purchase experience like capturing, refunding, canceling, and updating orders.

The Order management solution is available as a separate plugin. You can easily add it via the Klarna add-ons menu after installing the payment solution plugin.

For more information and steps, see Order management for Woo.

With Express Checkout you can fast track the customer's journey to payment. Currently only two-step express checkout is supported, meaning a customer completing a purchase via the express checkout will land on the order confirmation page and need to press complete order before ending up on the order confirmation page.

For more information and integration steps, see How to install Express Checkout on Woo.

With On-site Messaging, you can let your customers know about the available payment options as they browse your online store, even before they decide to buy.

On-site Messaging is a solution that lets you add tailored messaging to your business website or mobile app, together with Klarna checkout or Klarna payments.

Sign in with Klarna allows your customers to log in to your store faster, helping you boost purchase frequency and grow your customer base.
