Authorization outcomes and approval rates

Transaction approval/decline outcomes can vary by market, basket size, and shopper profile. Monitor approval rate by country, device, and channel to spot drop-offs.

Security and risk controls

Klarna applies risk controls to help manage fraud exposure on eligible transactions. Keep order and customer data consistent to reduce avoidable declines.

Authentication and shopper experience

Checkout flows may include shopper verification steps depending on market and scenario. Align UX and messaging so shoppers can complete verification when prompted.

Disputes, returns, and refunds support

Processes for disputes and refunds depend on the Klarna product used and your integration. Maintain clear return policies and timely refund handling to reduce escalations.

Reporting and reconciliation

Use Klarna reporting/portal tools to track payments, refunds, and settlement information. Ensure order IDs and references map cleanly to your OMS/accounting.

Tip from SmartRetry

To improve approval rates, review declines by market and basket size, and ensure customer name, address, and contact details are complete and consistent at checkout.
