How to access the developer credentials sign up page
Note: You may not transfer any real personal data to us during testing. Depending on which product you have integrated, we offer a few different triggers
Klarna Checkout Test Triggers
In our playground (test) environment, you can use any valid address to make a test purchase. You can trigger different behaviour depending on your need. The following options are available:
| Desired behaviour | Consumer email address pattern |
|---|---|
| Only present pre-paid options | example-email**+red**@example.com |
For example, you could use john.doe+red@abcstore.com as the customer’s email address to trigger a checkout that only offers pre-paid payment methods such as card.
Test Swish (Applies for Sweden)
In order to simulate swish approvals/denials/errors you need to add a specific additon to the email address. Current supported additions are:
| Desired behaviour | Consumer email address pattern |
|---|---|
| Successful Swish purchase | example-email+success@example.co |
| Rejected purchase | example-email+rejected@example.co |
| Swish specific error that will show a detailed error for the user. | example-email+conflict@example.co |
Klarna Payments Test Triggers
The default response from our test environment is positive. You can use various email addresses to trigger different (stateless) behaviour depending on your need. The following options are available:
| Desired behaviour | Consumer email address pattern |
|---|---|
| New sign up | …“+require_signup@”… |
| Returning customer | any email |
| Show form: False (only when prescreen is enabled) | …“+red@"… |
| Approved: False | …“+denied@"… |
| Pending | …"+pend-{status}-{time delay}@"… * {status} the expected status after the time delay * Options are: accept or reject * {time delay} the time delay, in minutes, before the decision is made of {status} * Must be in two digit number format in the range 00-99. Note: Only works for US and UK. |
For example, you could use john.doe+require_signup@abcstore.com as the customer’s email address to trigger Klarna’s new customer sign up dialogue within the widget
Test Direct Debit
In order to simulate/test the direct debit payment flow from end user perspective, use in the loaded Klarna widget, the following sample IBAN:Â DE11520513735120710131. Any other valid-format IBAN would work as well.
Test Credit Card
To simulate/test the card payment flow from the end-user perspective, use the following card details in the loaded Klarna widget:
Credit card number: 4111 1111 1111 1111
CVV: 123
Exp: 12/25 (Or any other valid date in the future)

Test Phone OTP (One Time Password)
To simulate/test the Phone OTP flow from the end-user perspective, use in the loaded Klarna widget, any valid phone number, for example, +491755555555. Enter any 6 digit number except 999999 for OTP. Using 999999 will cause the flow to fail.
