As a PM in my past life, I have a theory that this app was intentionally designed to fail. It doesn't make sense.
I don't leave negative reviews often, but after this experience I think other Shopify merchants deserve the warning. I've spent weeks trying to get Klarna connected to my store. Shopify support confirmed my Merchant ID is valid and active on their end, so the problem sits with Klarna's own integration. The app fails to connect with an error every time. Every time I've contacted Klarna support, the response has been automated: a bot sending links to generic setup documentation. None of it addresses a connection error with an already-confirmed Merchant ID, because it's all written for someone setting up the app for the first time, not someone whose setup is already failing. I've explained this repeatedly and gotten the same doc links back each time. No human has actually looked at the error. So now I'm stuck in a loop: Shopify says the integration is Klarna's to fix, and Klarna's support system won't route me to a person who can fix it. Weeks in, still unresolved, still no reply from an actual human being. If you're considering Klarna for your store, know that the moment something doesn't work as expected, you're on your own with a chatbot. I wouldn't build a checkout dependency on a payment provider whose support layer can't handle a problem that isn't in their FAQ.
Great way to advertise Klarna monthly payment plan on product page. Works nicely and automatically with Shopify Payments Klarna payment method. Took one star off as it lacks the ability to change if the text for the placement "credit-promotion-auto-size" is left, center or right. By default it is at center but for our store text to the left would've resulted in cleaner look.

Hello, Thank you for your review! We'd love to understand better the functionality you were hoping to see - could you please reach out to us on merchant@klarna.com with more information and we'd be happy to advise further? Thank you in advance!
WARNING! Do not use Klarna with Shopify payments! If a customer reports a return in Klarna it automatically comes through as a dispute due to a Shopify error. Even after providing the evidence with a dispute they are always automatically 'lost' because it isn't a real dispute (but created by a software error) Check this community thread for people loosing hundreds or even thousands due to this issue https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/shopify-opens-disputes-for-returns-via-klarna-payments/m-p/2824337 Shopify support claim nothing can be done from their end about 'disputes' although it is their error that creates it. On our store Klarna as an independent payment platform does not create this issue, it is specifically related to it being used with Shopify payments.

Hi Gathershop, Thanks for your feedback! Shopify is aware of this issue and is actively working on this with their payments partner and Klarna. We expect that there will be improvements to the disputes issues in the coming months. If you believe a dispute has been mishandled, can you reach out to us at merchant@klarna.com so that we can understand the context? Thanks. We hope that in the future you will consider updating this review to reflect your experience with the On-site Messaging app, which is not related to payments.
Do not waste your time. The application was working with some errors, for example it did not appear if the product was more than 1500 euros. But it was working. Suddenly it has disappeared from the web. In the template it appears but then it does not appear on the web. The application tells me that I have vintage mode but I have a 2.0 theme. Has anyone been able to contact support to fix anything it is impossible. Anyway run away while you can.

Hello, Please reach out to us at merchant@klarna.com so that we can assist you with your blocker. In the meantime, we suggest uninstalling, and re-installing the app completely. If you have different storefronts for different markets, you may need to add the placements to the template for each relevant market. Also, make sure to save the template with the placement before previewing it. Looking forward to receiving your email so that we can support you directly!
UPDATE: Since writing the review below, I have now had further communication and a solution from Klarna. The app was installed twice; once within Shopify, and again within the Klarna Portal. No idea how or why that happened as they appear as one and the same to thing to a new user with no previous experience, but this was causing my issue. I was contacted by Nicole from Klarna support after reading my review below. I'm glad it is sorted but frustrated that I had to waste time with 2 agents over chat, (who did not give a solution) and then write a review, just to get the help required. It was actually very simple to fix if only you knew it was an issue in the first place. But I appreciate Nicole reaching out and taking the time to understand the problem, and following up with clear instructions that resolved my problem. ---------------- As others have reported, there is clearly an issue with this app and Shopify. I've followed all instructions and still can not get the thing working. When support eventually respond, it's a standard robotic line of 'we can see you have successfully connected your store...' - Which is true, but it is not displaying the Klarna on site-messaging, and therefore it is not working. No assistance, you just get pointed you back to the instructions. very disappointing service from what should be a great solution. And please do not reply stating it's working, its not. It's connected, but not working.
First of all it was extremely confusing to set up and i've no idea what the online messaging thing is actually supposed to do, but even worse, they're registering return requests as chargebacks. Klarna's own site state that you need to register an account with them to be able to offer the service with Shopify, while Shopify said exactly the opposite, just enable Klarna and it will work. It did, but by then we had already set up an account with Klarna so I don't know whether we needed it or not. As others have said, support is awful. I contacted them three times and eventually got a reply, which had literally nothing to do with the questions I had asked them. But the worst was to come. We have only had Klarna set up for a couple of months, have received a few orders (would we have got those orders without Klarna? None were high value) but here's the problem: If a buyer wants to return an item they apparently have to report it to Klarna. Klarna them register this return as a chargeback and you're charged £10 for the privilege. Having NEVER had a chargeback in 6 years we have now had 3 in 2 days, one for an order that was never sent because the buyer asked to cancel - it seems Klarna need to be notified and then register this as a chargeback. A second order from the SAME buyer which WE cancelled and this was also then registered as a chargeback, and a third one today, after a customer had asked to return an item and we agreed and gave him return details only to be notified 2 hours later that he had filed a chargeback. This time we asked the buyer why he had filed a chargeback as we had already accepted his return request and he insists he hasn't, only that he had to inform Klarna he was returning the item. This is how we found out what was happening. It's absolutely farcical - we're charged £10 and have to fill in a chargeback defence claim even though the buyer (apparently) hasn't filed a chargeback. It seems that it's just Klarna being Klarna. Needless to say we have now disabled the payment option and unless we get a full personal explanation and assurances that it won't happen again we will not be using Klarna in the future. REPLY TO KLARNA'S RESPONSE: I'm well aware that this is for the on-Site Messaging app and not the Klarna Payment System but it is important that business owners understand what they are getting into, and you have provided a classic example of the problem here: You state that "If you have enabled Klarna via Shopify Payments, returns registered by customers through the Klarna app will come through as disputes. You must respond to them via email to avoid the chargeback. Chargebacks will only occur if you do not respond, at which point Klarna will close the dispute in favor of the customer." Well I'm sorry, but that's absurd. Why would a return be logged as a dispute? Every business on here will tell you that returns are common and there is no reason whatsoever that you should be logging them as a dispute. Furthermore, it puts us in a very difficult position because we have no idea what the buyer has said to Klarna. If Klarna are to intervene at all it should only be as a last resort. In my case I had a buyer who asked for a refund before the item had even been dispatched and you logged it as a dispute, another order from the same buyer which we cancelled because of the first dispute (we didn't want to risk another dispute but she reported it AFTER we had cancelled the order and you logged it as a dispute anyway, and this third one. This third one is a relatively high ticket item that the buyer has returned, falsely claiming it is faulty. we have rigorously tested and inspected the item and it is working perfectly. Despite this, from day one it has been logged as a dispute. It is now 5 days since the buyer returned the item and we have since tried to contact the buyer. However, in a previous email, when we advised him that the item needed to be tested he replied stating that "we had no reason to contact him" and email are now being returned undelivered, indicating that he has blocked us. Why? Because, according to him, Klarna has ALREADY REFUNDED HIM. If that is the case he was refunded before we even received the item back from him. His return is well past the window for unwanted purchase returns and there is nothing wrong with the item, as we suspected, so he is not entitled to a refund under the terms of the Consumer rights Act but it seems you've given him one anyway. This order has NOT been cancelled because he is not entitled to a refund but we haven't even had the chance to put our case forward. According to the details on our Shopify dashboard. "The inquiry response has been submitted. The customer’s bank will receive the response on March 14, 2025 at 11:00 pm". Where does this leave us? Because we are therefore still owed 100% of the payment. Sorry, but you cannot treat people this way. Retailers have rights too. You should not have taken ANY action without communicating with us first, you should absolutely not be making decisions based on nothing more than the fact that the buyer asked to return an item and we should not have to chase for a payment that has already been made then apparently taken away from us again, which is precisely what will happen when you finally get around the looking at this case on March 14. Regardless of the outcome you should not be placing us in this position in the first place. There's no way I will be reintroducing Klarna if this is how you deal with returns, there is no need for you to intervene at all. REPLY TO 2nd KLARNA RESPONSE: You're damned right we should not have received chargebacks, and needless to say the main one has now been found in the buyer's favour despite providing thorough representation explaining that after extensive tests we found absolutely nothing wrong with the item the buyer returned claiming it was faulty. A conclusion that despite contacting us many times, including several abusive messages, simply stating that he is not paying NOT ONCE has the buyer contested our findings. Yet Klarna still found the case in his favour. As my chance to present our case closed at midnight on 12 March and the decision was made just 4 hours later, at 04:00 a.m., clearly this decision was made by bot. Absolute farce and I will indeed be contacting you by email, because if this decision isn't reversed we're going to court. NEW UPDATE - FUNDS REIMBURSED: I want to be as fair as possible so I have agreed to update the review. Klarna have contacted me and said they would look into this matter, and as a result I have been refunded for the full amount of the chargeback that was taken from me. However, how and why all of this happened I still have no idea or any real explanation. The payment should not have been taken from me in the first place and I've only got back what was rightfully and legally mine after a lot of hassle so I'm not really sure what I'm expected to say. I do appreciate the refund but this should never have happened. The help received from the Messaging team is very much appreciated but I still think the whole system lacks a lot of clarity and unfortunately it's a case of "once bitten twice shy" for me. I'm not sure if Klarna expected the review to be removed but there's no getting away from what happened.

Hello, Thanks for raising this issue here, as well as reaching out to Klarna Merchant Support. We were able to find your ticket and escalate your case to our Disputes team. It has been reviewed again and the original decision was overturned. We know how frustrating things can be when they don't work as expected, and we appreciate your patience as we worked through this issue. We hope this resolution has gained back some of your trust. Thank you again for being a Klarna merchant.
Amazing. When we first installed - it didn't work, but after the help of Nicole on the support team, it was instantly installed and functioning correctly. Thank you.

We would love to help you resolve the issues you are facing adding the placement on your product pages. Please reach out to us on merchant@klarna.com so that we can help you complete the installation!
I should have taken heed of the other 1-star reviews. I almost never leave reviews, but in this case, I feel I have to - to help others avoid wasting time and energy. Despite spending over 4 months actively trying to integrate Klarna with my Shopify store - including countless emails, troubleshooting steps, and back-and-forth with support - the experience was one of the most frustrating and unproductive I’ve encountered. Despite countless emails, screenshots, and explanations, the app never functioned properly - and support continuously offered surface-level responses without resolving the issue. The app lacks clarity, error messaging is non-existent, and the support process is incredibly inefficient. I’ve removed Klarna from my store and will moving to another provider. I strongly recommend others avoid this app unless you’re prepared to spend months troubleshooting with little to no progress.

Hello, we regret this was the experience you had with our app, as well as our Merchant Support team. We are currently working hard to address experiences like yours with app improvements, and better support routines. We've tracked down your support case, and we will be following up with you there if you would like to discuss your experience further.
UPDATE: 10 days later I had a reply back although the person didn't know what the problem was. After highlighting that to them, someone else replied which didn't appear to know either but at least quoted Sara Nyrönen (Delivery Manager) in. Sara eventually replied and was very helpful. Essentially, we created a Klarna account ourselves before Shopify coming up with its own integration. Due to the integration, I believe that a second account was created automatically behind the scenes, but Klarna couldn't detect the correct one to use. Sara shared with us the correct Merchant ID which worked right away. Hopefully this will help somebody, both help desk and customers. PS. I don't know how it works now, 6 months later, but I believe the app should have at least a clear notification about this scenario and how to address it (e.g. raise a ticket with this specific request). INITIAL REVIEW Oct 2024: Now that Shopify integrates directly with Klarna, https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/local-payment-methods/klarna , this app shouldn't require a Klarna account to be able to enable the on-site messaging on the product page. Without an account this is useless. :( I have contacted merchant@klarna.com three days ago without an answer.
It works only with last updated theme. easy to install

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review! We appreciate you being part of the Klarna community.
Same experience as other users: the app doesn't work and the customer is nowhere to be found. Opened a ticket 8 days ago... The app used to work on our store, but wouldn't translate for German customers. We were advised to reinstall it, which completely broke it.

Hello, We regret that it has taken us longer than expected to respond to your ticket. We are requesting collaborator access so that we can help resolve this issue ASAP.
I was unable to get the app installed on my store at first. My brain was so fogged up. I took a break for a few days and went back to try and integrate Klarna to my website and it was really easy. I guess it just took me to slow down and read everything thoroughly. I went back to my site to check and make sure it was done successful and now I'm happy and can share the news with my customers. For anyone out there struggling like i was just take a mental break. Then go back to the klarna app on your shopify store click the dots on the top right then hit manage it will send you to the klarna app log in with your business info and then follow the steps from there. Make sure you have your merchant ID handy. The app will automatically try to integrate. Then it will switch to your shopify store but it wont go through. There will be a box that says manual entry thats where you put in your merchant ID and then your done, its activated. I think thats all the steps lol, sorry if I missed one. Just follow the last few steps after that. Hope this helps.
The app is not working. Don't lie to people. I have not been contacted by any support team. The bad reviews are 100% real. This app simply doesn’t work, and the technical support is awful. I've been waiting over three weeks for a response, and still nothing. If I could give zero stars, I would.
Developer reply ·
Hello! We apologize that your initial experience using the app was frustrating. We can see that the app is working on your product pages, as you have Klarna placements installed multiple times. We are also glad we were able to connect with you via email to resolve your issues and answer your questions. Best from the Klarna team.
worst installation experience. I've been trying to install it on my Shopify store for a month, still without success. terrible assistance. Days go by without responding, when they do respond, they seem to not know how to resolve the issue by asking scattered questions to save time. After a month and after submitting all the documentation, I still havent the app installed in my store. They are not at all interested in solving the problem.
Developer reply ·
We’re glad to see that the app is now successfully installed and the placements look good on your website! We truly regret that your initial experience did not meet expectations. Your comments are important to us, and we’re taking steps to ensure smoother and quicker resolutions in the future.
Not user-friendly at all. It's not working.

Hello! We are sorry you are having difficulties with the app. We are happy to support you to resolve the problem and listen to any feedback you have, please contact us at merchant@klarna.com
The wrost damn setting experience I have ever had! (Store 2.0) The banners are not responsive, it cant be fixed on top, it's basically useless. It's absolutely terrifying how little effort has been put into making this thing work.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for you review. We would love to take a look into this to see what your experience is and support you with the installation. Please could you reach out to us on merchant@klarna.com so that we can help you forward?
It only shows the 6 months rate for Klarna financing. Instead it would be a lot better to have a message showing "starting at [the 12 months rate] per month".
Developer reply ·
Thank you for your review! We would be happy to support you with looking at options for the messaging if you reach out to us on merchant@klarna.com. Klarna conducts thorough product testing to best optimize our messaging for increased conversion and we appreciate your feedback.
Super easy to se up in 2 minutes. Would recommend to anybody. No idea why there are 1 star reviews.

Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear about your positive experience.
Doesn't work. Even though I've installed the ad blocks in my theme, and they appear in the preview, they do not show up on the live site. I'm using the Dawn theme.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for your review. Depending on the settings in the app On-Site Messaging will show to customers located in the country that matches what is on your Klarna agreement used for the store. You can use for example VPN to simulate this. Checking your website now Klarna On-Site Messaging appears clearly using a US VPN, while when using a European VPN it would not which would be expected behaviour. If you have further feedback we would love to hear from you on merchant@klarna.com.
It’s too bad. After the new template was renovated, there was a Klarna installment module in the preview, but the website client couldn’t see it at all. It was a serious bug. There was no reply to the customer service email.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for your review! I can see our merchant support is currently helping you look into this as it would appear the placement requested is already visible on the product page. I recommend forwarding any further concerns straight to merchant@klarna.com and we are happy to keep supporting you from there. Have a lovely day!
Normally I love the badges but it is so complicated to integrate them. Other marketing apps are so much easier use. I couldnt integrate the announcement bar, a fiver freelancer couldnt help me either.

It simply does not work.

Hi, I am not getting any response from support please. Having issues with the application and no response. When trying to select a static page it only allows me to see a certain amount of pages in alphabetical order, and the search tool doesn't work. I am unable to attach to my page because of this.

Hi Uditerboard, We're sorry that you've been experiencing problems with the Klarna app blocks. The availability of these app blocks can be affected by the theme used by your store, as not all themes follow the default Shopify architecture. Our Merchant Support team will be reaching out to assist you with getting this set up for your store.
The app is not working, it worked in the beginning and now it does not anymore.

I have been trying to contact Klarna for well over a week now sending multiple messages to their support email. I try to sign into my karma account to finish setting it up and place the klarna sticker on my store so people know they have that option but I can't seem to get signed in to the klarna merchant portal to get help every time I try it says the password I set up is incorrect when it's not I've sent meant emails to get a password reset or any help at all on this matter with no response ever. How do you expect people to use this app when there is a option for help but no one checks it or contacts me to help me with the issue at hand

Hi Floragy, We're sorry that your experience using our On Site Messaging has been less than Smoooth. We can confirm that your placements are now active again following a fix to our latet app update.
I have done the whole account process at Klarna in which it was approved. After installing the shopify application I received a notice inside the application that does not support the Online Store 2.0! My theme is a Online Store 2.0 one nad i can add the placement in the backend but it does not work and it is not showing in the storefront. Please contact me.
Developer reply ·
Hi Aerofoils, sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with our Klarna placements for your store. Our app is able to support Shopify 2.0 themes either with our vintage placement options or the app blocks feature. There can sometimes be issues if the theme that is being used has custom elements that block our app functionality. Our Merchant Support team will reach out this afternoon to help with the configuration of the On Site Messaging for your site.
Will you ever fix this app? I've been trying to use this for months and it still doesnt work. You keep prompting the message that you will resolve the issue but nothing seems to be happening. I tried to email regarding the problem and didn't even get a response. What is this ?
Developer reply ·
Hi Loulouis, Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We apologise for any inconvenience and are currently working to update our documentation to better reflect the functionality of the app. Our Merchant Support team will be in touch as soon as possible to help resolve the issue.
When I'm Shopify and editing, the Klarna symbol appears. But when you go online to my website, IT IS NOT WORKING NOR SHOWING up. This is so strange. Also when I switch to Vintage Mode and want to place the icons manually, I can't even preview my own online store. It says in a text that Klarna is working on it, but it has been there for a long time now... So annoying. For me, it is working, but for others, I can't see the Klarna icon!
Developer reply ·
Hi ONECAP©, Sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the configuration of our On Site Messaging app. In particular the preview functionality in our Vintage mode. I can see that on of our Partner Support agents has reached out to you with a guide on case #100115583. If you require any additional help, please reply directly to this support case & we're happy to assist further to get your On Site Messaging up & running.
Disgusted with their service! I'm not even going to go into details it's borderline ridiculous. I will be terminating my contract.
The app is good but with paypal it cause a conflict and paypal button is not showing in the cart. I know it cause a problem because i contacted shopify support and they said that klarna is causing this issue, can anyone help?

Hi Eclissi Gioielli, We have sent you an email from skosm@klarna.com in order to check this out with you.

Desperately trying to get this app to work. Been messaging support back and forth over email and going backwards with no clarity :( UPDATE: MARCH 2023 Dana from Klarna was in touch shortly after posting this review and has been amazing in going through and sorting out all issues with the app on store. I think there is unfortunately is a big difference between day to day level of support and higher level support. Klarna app now all operating smoothly as promised out of the box. Thank you Dana.

Hi Farer, Thank you for taking the time to rate our app, this feedback helps us improve our products and services. We are sorry to hear there have been some challenges with your support case. We will be following up with you by the end of the day tomorrow, February 3rd, to ensure we get this resolved to your satisfaction.
Great app. Although it has 1 (local) minor issue: the currency symbol is shown after the slided price, which isn't the default location for our currency (€). Is it possible to manually change this position? For example: Current on-site message: Betaal in 3 delen van 43,00 € Prefered on-site message: Betaal in 3 delen van € 43,00
Developer reply ·
Hello Blommo, Thanks for leaving a review on our on-site messaging app we really appreciate it. Regarding you question if it is possible to manually change the messaging, that is not possible since we have chosen to align this on all of our European markets. In most European countries the normal notation is to put the EUR sign after the price, I know that in the Netherlands this is done differently. Therefore I will put in a request to see if this can be adjusted per market.
Does not integrate and customer support is, frustratingly enough, as confused as I am? Seems like we all have the same problem.
Developer reply ·
Hi Elena Velez, We're very sorry your experience has been frustrating. We'll review your case to look for process improvements and make sure we get your issues resolved to your satisfaction.
impossible to install itry and cant made it visible on my ebsite also not see any support sad
Developer reply ·
Hi IrenFaber, Sorry to hear that you're having issues with our On Site Messaging app, our Merchant Support team are reaching out to you via email this afternoon to help resolve the issues you are facing
I thought the bad reviews were an exaggeration before I downloaded the app. Unfortunty, it's all true nothing works. Can't even access the ad platforms, preview doesn't work for drag and drop and even if you do active nothing shows up.
Developer reply ·
Hi Biofusions, Our support team will happily help you get this app working for your store if you email skosm@klarna.com With themes that don't support Shopify's Online Store 2.0 architecture, there is no consistently compatible way to always inject code for on-site messaging that can work across all vintage themes. We've worked hard to code options to attach to CSS, but depending on the theme, there isn't always a viable way to do so. Compatibility and consistency are much improved with app blocks, but those are only available for themes that support Online Store 2.0 architecture; more info at: https://docs.klarna.com/platform-solutions/shopify/on-site-messaging-app-for-shopify/install-steps/#add-placements-online-store-20-app-blocks Regardless of the theme type though, we're happy to support whenever needed. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to get this working for your store.
Its working pretty good. Only one big problem that i found is Ad blocker and tracking blocker. If my customer use Ad blocker then this app doesn't show at all on the website. That's why this apps is pretty much useless because now days all modern browser use Ad blocker. Can you please KLARNA fix that??
Developer reply ·
Hi Alfa-Jewelry, We hear you about the Ad blocker issue. Update (from 2023-Jan-26): discussion this with the Klarna On-site messaging team, not all Ad blockers block Klarna's On-site messaging. Could you please share the Ad blocker that is blocking Klarna's On-site messaging, and Klarna can request that not be blocked? If you open a support case via skosm@klarna.com (and reference this review) that would be the best way to hopefully see if we can improve this? Thank you!
Hello, I like this app and installed it on my store. However, it is not working at all. On-site messaging does not appear on my product page or any other page. It gave an error. I wrote to customer support via e-mail and the app messaging panel and waiting for the solution. I will review my comment and give 5 stars If the problem is solved soon. :) UPDATE. I have been contacted by Klarna customer service and told that the app is working properly within the geolocation of my store and currency. Thanks.
Developer reply ·
Hi Destina Home, I see that one of our Klarna support agents replied back to you via your support case #24328551 earlier today and that On-site messaging is displaying on your product pages currently (for customers geolocated to the country matching your store's base currency). For other locales, on-site messaging would be displayed, as documented at: https://docs.klarna.com/platform-solutions/shopify/on-site-messaging-app-for-shopify/faqs/#troubleshooting-why-isnt-the-placement-displayed-on-my-product-pages? If you do need further help, our team at skosm@klarna.com is happy to help!

Developer reply ·
Hi bolddesignz, While I see that Klarna's On-site messaging app is installed, I don't see it active on your storefront yet. If you email our support team at skosm@klarna.com, someone can review the configuration to help. I've requested collaborator access to your store now to help this process go quicker. Hopefully our team can help get this working for you soon!
Unfortunately my experience in installing this app mirrors that of other reviewers. I had installed it but there was a glitch. Luckily the team responded very quickly and helped me sort it out immediately. It looks great!

App is not working. Klarna is the worst company you can ever find, nothing is working and the support is really useless.

Hi Aurora & Co., We're sorry that you are not happy with our services or app. We're like to try to work with you to resolve your issues with the app. Our team can work with you if you open a support case by emailing skosm@klarna.com
Appears to be working fine - no coding input required and the integration was seemless. Not sure what so many people are having trouble with looking at some other reviews!
Developer reply ·
Thank you WorldRaceCircuits for this great review! We're very glad the app works well for you. We've worked hard to improve the app over time, with a major update relating to Shopify's improved theme architecture for Online Store version 2.0, which enables our app to integrate better with themes using App Blocks, and avoids many of the issues merchants had previously. Thank you again for taking the time to share a review; we appreciate you very much!
Hello, I received this message about my Klarna integration. See below: "The following versions of these third-party payments integrations are not compatible with Shopify’s latest checkout. They will no longer be available after July 31, 2022: Buy now, pay later with Klarna." How can I can the update to the latest integration?
Developer reply ·
Hi FROGSHOP, Hopefully quick and easy for you to migrate to our new payments integration. More info for the migration steps at: https://docs.klarna.com/platform-solutions/shopify/payments/klarna-payments/migrating-from-current-to-new-payments-integration/ We've been sending emails about this deadline also, but our apologies if those haven't reached you.
Ho installato questa app ma sono settimane che non mi funziona e non riescono a risolvere il problema

Ciao Museum Shop Italy, Ci dispiace per le problematiche inizialmente riscontrate e che le tempistiche per la risoluzione del problema abbiano richiesto qualche giorno di investigazione in più rispetto ai nostri standard usuali. Siamo tuttavia lieti che il problema sia ora risolto e che l'on-site messaging sia correttamente visibile nel tuo sito e ti saremmo grati se volessi aggiornare il contenuto della recensione. In caso di ulteriori necessità restiamo a tua disposizione scrivendo a skosm@klarna.com
Slightly hard to integrate the app into the shop by myself and instructions unclear but support was very quick to respond and get the issue solved. Great responsive customer service.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for the feedback. We'll review the instructions to try to improve them. We're glad the support team was helpful!
Hello everyone. I would like to write about the excellent support from Mimmi from Klarna Bank Merchant support. I had a problem and I wrote to Klarna Merchant Support. I got a very quick responses to my help requests, very clear and detailed from Mimmi. She assisted me till my problem was solved. Now all works correctly and good. It's a pleasure to receive such fast, professional and friendly support! Thanks a lot, Mimmi! Sincerely, Samoilova Inna
Developer reply ·
Thank you Samoilova Inna for this great review. We agree - Mimmi is great! Very glad she could help!
Why is Klarna not available for Shopify in the UK? Would this change anytime soon as I would really like to have on my store.
Developer reply ·
Hi UNDISPUTED SPORTSWEAR, Klarna is still available on Shopify for UK (and all Klarna regions), but there is now an additional step to install the desired private payment method, documented at: https://docs.klarna.com/platform-solutions/shopify/payments/installing-klarna-payments-as-an-alternative-payment-method-on-shopify-hpsdk/#activate-your-klarna-alternative-payment-methods-private-payment-methods
This service will assist us in developing our business further and increase funnel as it provides multiple options of payment. In spite for customer service delayed reply; immediate support provided.
Developer reply ·
Thank you McRichard Designer Brands for this review. Our reviews confirm that on-site messaging help customers know what payment options are available in a store, which increases conversion for stores. If support is ever needed with this app, our team is available to help via skosm@klarna.com
Good app, easy to install & configure. Also, just as important, great support if something isn't working as it should.
Developer reply ·
Hi BeYou! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are super glad you are happy with our app. We always try to be as much of a help as possible so please do reach out if you need anything in the future!
My shop has opened the Klarna payment method. We want to add the Klarna on site messaging method to the product page and shopping cart page. I connected to the Klarna App, but it shows that it cannot be connected. What is the reason? can you help me? I also sent an email to you, but so far I haven’t gotten a reply
Developer reply ·
Hi Papaya Hair! Thank you for sending in your emails yesterday. Your site is integrated with Klarna indirectly, using a payment service provider. Because of this, your On-Site Messaging app will require some special set-up. One of our support agents has just responded to your email, and will assist with the set-up process. Thank you for choosing Klarna!
Very helpful indeed - sorted my issue out very quickly so thank you very much :o) it’s now working perfectly on my website!
Developer reply ·
Thank you for the great review! Happy we could help this time, and anytime help is needed!
Ho usato ques'app per l'avviso agli utenti della possibilità del pagamento in rate, all'inizio ho avuto qualche difficoltà nel configurarla ma grazie al supporto rapido e gentile, son riuscito a configurarla nel migliore dei modi.

Ciao Giocagio, Grazie mille per il feedback! Stiamo continuando a migliorare la nostra app per renderne in futuro ancora più facile la configurazione. Nel frattempo, se dovessi avere bisogno di ulteriore supporto, siamo a completa disposizione! Hi Giocagio, Thank you for your feedback! We are continuing to try to improve the app and we'll try to make it even easier to use in the future! In the meantime, if you ever need further assistance we are glad to help!
I found the Klarna on site messaging support super helpful, they sent me a step by step guide which was super easy to follow and it was all set up. I watched the video on how to set everything up from the app store, which I did have to watch twice, then using the auto finder for positioning of the ads is super easy. Making layout adjustments for a newbie was pretty straight forward. I would recommend to make it personal to your site.
Developer reply ·
Hi Foot World, Thank you so much for your feedback! If you do need any help in the future please just drop us a message - we are always happy to help!
Never managed to get the onsite messaging to work even after spending money with an external company who also couldn't get it to work.

Hi Reef Aquatics, So sorry to hear you are experiencing this! We are now reaching out to you to try and get On-site messaging working for you
After 6 months my KLARNA app still doesn’t work sent 1000 emails tried to contact online chat every time I contact them they ask me to send screenshots of our credentials or disable API which we did 100 times still no help definitely needs IMPROVEMENTS on customer service to try to fix problem for now we have been offered clearpay solutions without any problem
Developer reply ·
Hi Belsize Activewear, We're really sorry you are experiencing issues with the integration. We need to review everything is configured correctly on your side to get you set up which is the reason we are asking to provide screenshots of Klarna settings. We will contact you directly now to help you get up and running.
I really wanted to like this app but customer service is non-existence. Also, they are forcing you to give them your US number to get into their contact support. I am currently not in the US right now and don't have a US number with me. Finally, I've found a chat and someone replied but they seem to be based out of India, where they handle basic questions. It's been almost an hour and still haven't heard back from them after they say 'wait just a moment'. If I can't find a solution by next week, I'll move to Afterpay and try them instead. I hope someone will see this and reach out.
Developer reply ·
Hi Seadon, We're very sorry you didn't receive good support yet. You will receive a reply from our support team very soon today via the ticket you opened yesterday to answer your technical questions. We'll work hard to keep your business and get your integration working well!
If it was functional with the new Shopify 2.0 interface. I would have given 5 stars. I hope it comes soon! Until then we have to use something else that is easier to build with.
Developer reply ·
Hi Reyrr Athletics, We are working to get the app updated soon for better integration with Online Store 2.0!
My Klarna has not worked at all since I have launched the site and been through support numerous times and customers have been emailing me to tell me that its still not working
Developer reply ·
We're very sorry that we weren't able to help you well enough to keep your business at this time. If you change your mind in the future, we will make sure to work through any issues or concerns with you to get the integration working successfully in your store.
The Klarna team are really helpful. Sometimes the messaging app can't place the messaging exactly where you want it, but the team do whatever they can to get it right for you. So five stars for the team. Go team.

Thank you Art of the Movies for the review. We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback.
I have only recently installed this app, so it's a bit early to comment on the performance, but it looks great so far. However, I can comment on the customer service I have received since installing the app. I had a bit of a nightmare getting everything set up and looking how I wanted it to on my site, as I'm not the most technically gifted person, but Mimmi's customer service has been second to none! Extremely efficient and makes sure everything is exactly how you want it to be. Mimmi has really gone above and beyond for my business, so for that, a 5* is fully deserved!

Thank you very much for the great review, Finer Bedrooms. We're very happy we could help!

Thanks for the great review Monocle Madness!
trying to add api credentials into the app and it doesn't work, customer service sucks, they just give you copy and paste responses and tell you to email their merchant team which takes 1 week to get a response. If its going to be like this at the start of the relationship then who knows whats going to happen when i eventually get this thing set up. Wish my business was US based so i could try Afterpay, disappointing to say the least, sort it out guys
Developer reply ·
Hi Skull Riderz, We're very sorry that you have not received good support yet. Integrating Klarna Payments is a prerequisite before using the Klarna On-site messaging app per: https://x.klarnacdn.net/plugins/KlarnaOnSiteMessagingapponShopifySupportGuide.html#h.v0zr042ahsu Our systems show that you've contracted with Klarna for an account that supports European regions, but if your store's base currency is USD, Klarna can only accept orders for US customers, as Shopify restricts alternative payment methods to only transact in a store's base currency (more info at "Known Issues: 1. Klarna Payments accepts orders only for customer billing addresses in the markets that match the store base currency" at https://x.klarnacdn.net/plugins/Klarna%20Payments%20on%20Shopify%20-%20Merchant%20Guide.pdf). If applicable, you could sign up for a Klarna account that supports US customers: https://us.portal.klarna.com/signup/country-select?country=US&platform=shopify If we can help further, please email skosm@klarna.com and you'll get dedicated Klarna support specifically focused on integrating Klarna with Shopify.
There was a conflict with my theme so placements didn’t work but Klarna helped put it right very quickly. Special thanks to Mimmi who went over and above on more than one occasion. Lots of report Klarna helps AOV so I’m glad it was sorted. Defo recommend the service.

Hi UpCircle Beauty, Thanks for your great review. Glad Mimmi got on-site messaging working for you, and glad you are happy with the app. Mimmi is great and we're happy she's on our team!
Awful! Unreliable, took hours not minutes to update live site, so no way to tell how it would look. The manual positioning is inaccurate at best and you can’t see the result of any changes you make for hours. Worse than useless.
Developer reply ·
Hi K-Beauty UK, We're very sorry that you aren't happy with our app. We've not had any other reports of the app taking hours to update on a live site, so we hope for the opportunity to investigate this issue and get the app working on your store. If you open a support case with us by emailing skosm@klarna.com, we'd like to help!
This app is basically trash, do not waste your time installing it. Don't bother contacting klarna becuase they don't respond and basically just ignore you. I reached out multiple time and have only gotten one response but no help after a month of having this app. The reviews don't lie. I currently have afterpay in my store as well and they have been very good at responding and helping with any questions I have, I highly recommend you try them first or any other platform before you waste your time with klarna. When a business doesn't provide you customer service, you should really just stay away from it.
Developer reply ·
Kreative Living, We're sorry to hear you haven't received the necessary assistance from us. We are currently experiencing increased support volumes. Our Merchant Support is looking at your case and will get back to you as soon as possible.
Really poor experience to date. Had some issues with the install not displaying properly and on all products. Emailed support and called them numerous times with no reply/resolution which is really disappointing. Can you please get back to us on the issues reported asap and reply to emails.
