How do the different Klarna Card payment methods work?

By default, your Klarna Card is always set to debit mode. You'll need to set up a plan each time you want to Pay later.
  • Pay in full (debit): Add money to your Klarna balance so future purchases are paid instantly from that balance - just like a regular debit card.
  • Pay later: First apply for a Pay later plan in the app. Your plan can be funded either from your Klarna balance or from your connected payment card, and the cost is split into installments.
Good to know:
  • Your approved Pay later plan will only apply to your next purchase.
