Klarna On‑Site Messaging

I’ve spent the last 10 years wiring payment gateways, PSPs, wallets and BNPL providers into ecommerce stacks. Klarna has been, by far, the worst experience I’ve had—both technically and with support.

Very bad, installed the plugin but it doesn't show staging information

WARNING! Do not use Klarna with Shopify payments! If a customer reports a return in Klarna it automatically comes through as a dispute due to a Shopify error. Even after providing the evidence with a dispute they are always automatically 'lost' because it isn't a real dispute (but created by a software error) Check this community thread for people loosing hundreds or even thousands due to this issue https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/shopify-opens-disputes-for-returns-via-klarna-payments/m-p/2824337 Shopify support claim nothing can be done from their end about 'disputes' although it is their error that creates it. On our store Klarna as an independent payment platform does not create this issue, it is specifically related to it being used with Shopify payments.

I should have taken heed of the other 1-star reviews. I almost never leave reviews, but in this case, I feel I have to - to help others avoid wasting time and energy. Despite spending over 4 months actively trying to integrate Klarna with my Shopify store - including countless emails, troubleshooting steps, and back-and-forth with support - the experience was one of the most frustrating and unproductive I’ve encountered. Despite countless emails, screenshots, and explanations, the app never functioned properly - and support continuously offered surface-level responses without resolving the issue. The app lacks clarity, error messaging is non-existent, and the support process is incredibly inefficient. I’ve removed Klarna from my store and will moving to another provider. I strongly recommend others avoid this app unless you’re prepared to spend months troubleshooting with little to no progress.

UPDATE: after reaching out, Klarna support has solved the issues in a proficient manner, special thanks to Teodora and Nicole for the help!
