Klarna On‑Site Messaging

First of all it was extremely confusing to set up and i've no idea what the online messaging thing is actually supposed to do, but even worse, they're registering return requests as chargebacks.

Klarna's own site state that you need to register an account with them to be able to offer the service with Shopify, while Shopify said exactly the opposite, just enable Klarna and it will work. It did, but by then we had already set up an account with Klarna so I don't know whether we needed it or not.

As others have said, support is awful. I contacted them three times and eventually got a reply, which had literally nothing to do with the questions I had asked them.

But the worst was to come. We have only had Klarna set up for a couple of months, have received a few orders (would we have got those orders without Klarna? None were high value) but here's the problem: If a buyer wants to return an item they apparently have to report it to Klarna. Klarna them register this return as a chargeback and you're charged £10 for the privilege.

Having NEVER had a chargeback in 6 years we have now had 3 in 2 days, one for an order that was never sent because the buyer asked to cancel - it seems Klarna need to be notified and then register this as a chargeback.

A second order from the SAME buyer which WE cancelled and this was also then registered as a chargeback, and a third one today, after a customer had asked to return an item and we agreed and gave him return details only to be notified 2 hours later that he had filed a chargeback.

This time we asked the buyer why he had filed a chargeback as we had already accepted his return request and he insists he hasn't, only that he had to inform Klarna he was returning the item. This is how we found out what was happening. It's absolutely farcical - we're charged £10 and have to fill in a chargeback defence claim even though the buyer (apparently) hasn't filed a chargeback. It seems that it's just Klarna being Klarna.

Needless to say we have now disabled the payment option and unless we get a full personal explanation and assurances that it won't happen again we will not be using Klarna in the future.

worst installation experience. I've been trying to install it on my Shopify store for a month, still without success. terrible assistance. Days go by without responding, when they do respond, they seem to not know how to resolve the issue by asking scattered questions to save time. After a month and after submitting all the documentation, I still havent the app installed in my store. They are not at all interested in solving the problem.

The app is not working. Don't lie to people. I have not been contacted by any support team.

The bad reviews are 100% real. This app simply doesn’t work, and the technical support is awful. I've been waiting over three weeks for a response, and still nothing. If I could give zero stars, I would.

I was unable to get the app installed on my store at first. My brain was so fogged up. I took a break for a few days and went back to try and integrate Klarna to my website and it was really easy. I guess it just took me to slow down and read everything thoroughly. I went back to my site to check and make sure it was done successful and now I'm happy and can share the news with my customers.

For anyone out there struggling like i was just take a mental break. Then go back to the klarna app on your shopify store click the dots on the top right then hit manage it will send you to the klarna app log in with your business info and then follow the steps from there. Make sure you have your merchant ID handy. The app will automatically try to integrate. Then it will switch to your shopify store but it wont go through. There will be a box that says manual entry thats where you put in your merchant ID and then your done, its activated. I think thats all the steps lol, sorry if I missed one. Just follow the last few steps after that. Hope this helps.

With shopify payment allowing to integrate Klarna payments, why can’t we have an account with it, to then actually use your service?
We have been providing all necessary information to create a merchant account to then being able to offer Klarna to customers, business is registered, business bank account provided, at least 14 days return policy applied on our website and policy, we have provided all ID’s, business info displayed on our website, what else do you want? Very sad because as customers of Klarna we find it very useful and impactful. Such a shame we can’t offer it to our customers

Schlimmste Installationserfahrung. Ich versuche seit einem Monat, es in meinem Shopify-Shop zu installieren, immer noch ohne Erfolg. Schreckliche Unterstützung. Tagelang vergehen, ohne zu antworten. Wenn sie antworten, scheinen sie nicht zu wissen, wie sie das Problem lösen sollen, indem sie verstreute Fragen stellen, um Zeit zu sparen. Nach einem Monat und nachdem ich alle Unterlagen eingereicht habe, habe ich die App immer noch nicht in meinem Shop installiert. Sie sind nicht ...

Now that Shopify integrates directly with Klarna, https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/local-payment-methods/klarna , this app shouldn't require a Klarna account to be able to enable the on-site messaging on the product page. Without an account this is useless. :(
I have contacted merchant@klarna.com three days ago without an answer.

Thought we'd be able to display this on our product pages after the Shopify integration. We thought wrong...

The wrost damn setting experience I have ever had! (Store 2.0)

The banners are not responsive, it cant be fixed on top, it's basically useless.

It's absolutely terrifying how little effort has been put into making this thing work.

Hi how can i contact you
