How Klarna fits into managing payments

Everyone handles purchases differently: what you buy, when you pay, and how you keep track. Klarna offers different ways to pay and a clear view of what you owe, so you can pick what suits you.

One account. One place for your payments.

Everything in one app

Whether you shop online, in the app, or pay with Klarna in-store, you can see what is coming up and manage everything from a single app.

No separate accounts

There is no need to create separate accounts for each store or track payments individually.

One login, wherever you shop with Klarna

With one login, your payment schedule stays organised wherever you shop.

Your Klarna account brings payments, due dates, and shopping history together in one place across stores and devices.

Payment options that fit different moments

Different purchases may call for different approaches. Klarna offers several ways to pay flexibly.

Pay in full

Pay in full

Pay the full amount at checkout in one transaction when you are ready to complete the purchase.

Klarna Pay in 3

Pay in 3

Split your purchase into 3 interest-free instalments. The first payment is collected when your order is shipped, and the next two instalments are automatically charged every 30 days. There is no interest ever and no late fees when you pay on time.¹

Pay in 30 Days

Pay in 30 days

Receive your order now and pay within 30 days.¹ This option allows you to complete your payment after you have received your items.

Pay over time
