Integrations

Klarna
SVGKlarna checkout is probably the overall most popular PSP in the nordic countries. It's generally considered a smooth checkout experience. The main reason for this is the fact that they have a very large user base that have used Klarna before. This means the users don't have to fill in their address and payment information when they come to your store, even though they never shopped in your specific store before.
However, limitations in the flexibility of Klarna Checkout might make it necessary to consider using Klarna Payments instead, which essencially is a headless (API) approach to the checkout so we can build unique checkout experiences for our customers.
Payment methods available through Klarna: Card, invoice, financing with downpayments over time.
Ny Media are maintainers of the official Drupal Klarna module and work closely together with Klarna to provide our clients with the best possible shopping experiences.
