### FAQ

Is Klarna a PSP or an acquirer?

Klarna is a payment provider focused on BNPL and alternative payment options; you typically use it alongside (or via) your PSP/payment platform depending on your setup.

Why are Klarna payments declined and how can I reduce declines?

Declines can be driven by shopper eligibility, incomplete or inconsistent customer details, unusually high basket sizes, or market-specific rules. Track approval rate by country/channel and tighten checkout data quality and messaging.

Where is Klarna available for merchants?

Klarna is available in multiple regions, but merchant availability and supported products vary by market. Confirm coverage and requirements with Klarna for the countries you sell into.

Can I offer Klarna alongside cards and wallets?

Yes. Many merchants present Klarna as an additional payment method next to cards and wallets, typically configured through their checkout and payment platform.

How do refunds and returns work with Klarna?

Refund handling depends on the Klarna product and your integration. Merchants generally initiate refunds through their Klarna setup, and shoppers see updates based on the payment plan and status.
