the special metamorphosis of the Klarna app

Klarna is a convenient way to not have to pay immediately for something you buy online. Some people prefer to have the order in their hands before paying for it, others know that they are likely to return something and don’t want to pay for it. Or sometimes you just don’t have a phone for iDeal at hand. Whatever the reason, Klarna is a way for many online stores not to have to make your payment immediately. However, much more can be done with the Klarna app, which is therefore also the app of the week.

Klarna has changed a lot

Klarna is not only a payment solution, it is also a shopping platform. You can see that clearly in the app. It used to be a really simple payment app, now it’s a whole platform. The home screen is a complete shopping hub. You can see which orders, deliveries and returns are in your name, you can save products, there are deals, shops that you use a lot and an inbox for messages.

The biggest division is made in the app between online shopping and payments, with online shopping even being mentioned first. If you scroll down, you will see the many big names with which Klarna does business today: bol.com, Marktplaats, Amazon, Zalando, Samsung, Kruidvat, AliExpress, MediaMarkt and Wehkamp, ​​for example. You can even Klarna your Booking.com stays.

It is useful to see in the app of the payment platform what stores are connected to the company, so that you know where you can shop ‘on the bill’. You can also select per category in which you want to shop: luckily, electronics is also an option for all your Android-powered gadgets. The advantage of Klarna is not only that you only have to pay after two weeks: it is also interest-free.

Be careful with the puff

Of course, it should be noted that it is of course better to immediately pay for what you shop online: then you know for sure that you have the money and you do not get into money problems as easily as if you hit the Klarna too enthusiastically. So keep an eye on how many Klarna payments you have open. The advantage is that this is very easy with this app, as long as you use the same email address. You can also easily log in with your email address. Klarna sends a verification code there and by entering it the app knows that you are the owner of the email and all outstanding payments are loaded to that email address.

It is great to see that Klarna has risen above its image as a payment platform and that it is now clearer what the status of your payments and returns is. Everything in one app is a very good idea, because we have not seen that very often in the shopping area. By the way, it is even possible to shop at stores that originally did not offer a Klarna option at all, thanks to a kind of one-time card. This makes the Klarna app an extra attractive app for people who like to pay later. In addition, Klarna also has exclusive offers that it aims to provide to its app users.

The new Klarna app is now available to download from the Google Play store and the Apple App Store.
