Activate your payouts. Before doing so you need to integrate your live credentials in your platform.

Some first steps to go through if your integration does not work:

• Make sure that test mode is switched off.
• Make sure that the Klarna API Credentials are entered in the correct place in your plugin.
• Make sure you have the correct version of Klarna’s plugin installed.

If you can not see Klarna’s iframe it might be due to:

• Klarna’s plugin is not activated.
• The page with terms and conditions is not linked.
• Another plugin is disrupting Klarna’s plugin.
• The design of your webshop, meaning your theme, is not compatible with Klarna’s plugin.

To test your checkout you need test credentials. These can be found by logging in to our test environment with the same login details you use for the Merchant Portal. Go to “Settings” in the top right corner and click on “Generate test credentials”. Enter these in your Klarna plugin and activate test mode. You will then see a green box with the text “Testdrive” in Klarna’s checkout.
