"Versatile Payment Tool with Handy Card Organization"
What do you like best about Klarna?

Klarna started as an online platform that allowed customers to split their payments into three installments, which was especially useful for purchases like electronic devices. Recently, however, Klarna has evolved into a more comprehensive payment tool by adding new features to its platform, such as restaurant tickets and a wallet for storing money and card information. Lately, I have been using it mainly to keep all my customer cards organized in one place, although I previously used it for making payments as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

As a card and money wallet, Klarna doesn't really stand out from other similar tools. I also find the app's interface somewhat confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible Payment Options Make Shopping Stress-Free"
What do you like best about Klarna?

I like that they offer flexible payment options like Buy Now, Pay Later (Split a purchase into multiple interest-free payments (like four payments every two weeks) or pay in 30 days without fees

Times are hard on a lot of people right now and offering pay over time for larger purchases has literally saved people at holidays, for emergencies and even vacations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

I have noticed that not all banks work with Klarna so its not accessible to everyone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Poor Customer Service, Negative Experience"
What do you like best about Klarna?

Absolutely nothing. This is nothing but a portal for scammers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

I find their customer service to be unsupportive. It feels like people are using Klarna as a scam process. My initial experience setting up Klarna was very bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Klarna is Bad for Business and Merchants"
What do you like best about Klarna?

They aim to help customers make purchases of larger ticket items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

We have applied twice to Klarna to be offered via our family retail business Website. We offer a variety of beauty and grooming products, much like other popular retail shops that already use and offer Klarna (and which Klarna proudly advertises as their customers). However, our applications are rejected incorrectly and unjustly because Klarna tags us as a company that does "drop shipping", simply because we offer a variety of brands. We are NOT a drop shipping company. We have NEVER drop shipped. We are a retail eCommerce shop. We have our own inventory of products that we fully purchase and and store in our warehouse. We have the full legal right to resell these brands as retail corporation (just like some other already approved and advertised by Klarna as their customers). The only difference is that we are not a giant corporation, but rather a local family business. The Klarna review process has been very difficult and illogical. It is not possible to get any help via support as a merchant. At this time we would not recommend any businesses to engage with Klarna. It would wonderful if Klarna can be more understanding and fair in their merchant review process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customer Service and flexibility in service is non-existent"
What do you like best about Klarna?

Integration with our Shopify platform is a plus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

Customer Service for merchants is non-existent

Flexibility in options is non-existent. We've tried working with them based off our customer feeback and Klarna doesn't seem interested in working with us to improve customer adoption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Waste of time"
What do you like best about Klarna?

Nothing! There is no easy way to speak or chat with someone! It takes you to your dashboard but not to the chat box to actually speak with someone, I had to Google the customer service number smh Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

I don't really care to us Klarna because they check your credit every time and everytime I have to login into my credit report or the sites and unlift my freeze on my credit. It's annoying! I love Afterpay because it's simpple to use! Due to all this I have missed my product and is now sold out because I had to go through all this!! I will never use Klarna again!!!

"Identity Verification Nightmare"
What do you like best about Klarna?

The perks and rewards the have for making on time payments and paying off purchases are great and can really add up to some nice freebies quite rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Klarna?

Klarna is awful. Both my husband and I have accounts with over $1,000 of purchase power and have both made successful purchases with Klarna and have since paid them in full. Randomly, I started getting denied due to “identity verification issues”. After countless chats, emails and “corrections” I have been told by every rank of employee from basic customer service rep to supervisor that my case has been escalated several times. I have been told through many communication avenues that the issue has been corrected, but my attempted purchases are still declined to this day citing identity verification issues.

My husband who has been successfully using Klarna for several months and has over $1,000 of spending power is now ALSO getting denied each time he attempts a purchases due to identity confirmation issues.

Unfortunately, we are not the only ones who have run into this issue. There is an entire feed on Reddit with scores of users saying the same thing has happened to them and Klarna has never resolved the issue.

Do yourself a favor and avoid using Klarna and stick to other more professional and reliable buy now, pay later apps like AfterPay and Affirm.

A word of caution, if you do find yourself running into this issue with Klarna, don’t bother wasting your time trying to get them to correct it. You’ll go through a lot of hassle only to have them tell you they’ve fixed the issue and your account will work.., but it never will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
