PrestaShop has announced a partnership with European online PSP Klarna. The open-source E-commerce platform is responsible for powering more than 130,000 active online stores worldwide and its merchants will be able to its European customers after delivery payments with Klarna’s service. To make this possible, Klarna currently offers two payment options — Klarna Invoice and Klarna Account.
With Klarna Invoice, customers can shop by only giving minimal information and avoiding long registration processes. The Klarna Account option suits those who want to spread out payments by placing all of their online purchases onto one bill. The invoice for those purchases will be distributed in the middle of the upcoming month, allowing users to submit payment for their purchase after delivery. Klarna Account also allows the option to pay for purchases in monthly installments.
“Together, PrestaShop and Klarna will add increasing value to online merchants. Klarna´s payment methods are a safe way to reduce friction for customers, and evidence shows that it increases sales significantly for e-stores. We are happy to make Klarna available for merchants selling to countries where we operate, since it benefits all parties,” said Magnus Fredin, President of Sales at Klarna.
Klarna’s unique payment processing solution ensures buyers will never be charged for anything they haven’t seen first. At the same time, Klarna assumes all the risk and administration, so that merchants can focus on their business.
