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.
