API or plugin integration with Klarna

If you want to integrate with Klarna then your 2 main options are either via a plugin or API. Most lenders will provide plugins for different e-commerce platforms free of charge. In general, plugins are easier to install and configure compared to API.

API integration requires a lot more time and effort to code and therefore costs more. API integration for finance lenders is only advised if your lender does not have a custom plugin, or if you need a more tailored solution.

Having said that, API integrations are generally more powerful and give you much finer control over your integration works with your website. We can help you with a range of API integrations for your retail finance partner and even other 3rd party solutions such as verifications services, KYC, and AML too. In addition to this if you need a custom plugin built we can also help with that.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a range of finance integration options but they generally fall into 2 categories – plugins or API. Most lenders will have free plugins which you can use to add their payment options to your ecommerce store. Plugins are easy to integrate and generally require very little coding expertise. APIs on other hand offer more granular control and if you need a more tailored solution then this is the way to go. Once again most lenders have pretty robust APIs and docs for us to integrate with.

The cost of your retailer finance integration with Klarna depends on a variety of factors such as whether it’s a plugin or API, whether you will use a hosted solution or fully bespoke one, and your ecommerce platform.
