Set Up Klarna Payment Method for a WooCommerce Store

Klarna is a ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ solution that allows customers to pay in installments over time. With this method, the store owner receives the full payment immediately, while customers pay either nothing or only a portion of the total at the time of purchase.

When customers select Klarna at checkout, they are redirected to Klarna’s hosted payment page. Klarna provides multiple payment options, including Pay Now, Pay Later, Financing, and Installments.
