Klarna can be best described as a buy now, pay later (BPNL) service that provides customer financing for both online retail and in-store purchases. Available in 31 countries and growing, Klarna has its own marketplace with more than 147 million happy shoppers and a mobile application to complete purchases on the go.

Considered to be one of the best overall BNPL apps for merchants, Klarna facilitates integration with several third-party systems such as BigCommerce, Shopify, and more. The payment processing platform of Klarna helps businesses provide a secure checkout experience to customers with several payment methods. It offers multiple financing options including Pay-in-4, pay in 30 days, or 6- to 36-month plans. Overall, Klarna is a good choice for high-revenue businesses, businesses processing international sales, small and growing businesses, and retailers looking for seller protection.

One of the best things about Klarna is its seller protection program under which all fraud and credit risk is borne by Klarna when its financing services are utilized by customers. In other words, businesses get paid in full when purchases are made and they are not responsible to collect payments or issue late fees.
