Klarna and commercetools are delighted to announce an international partnership, making Klarna the first alternative payment method to be directly available on the commercetools platform. The integration will cover all live Klarna markets across EMEA, North America and APAC regions.
Klarna’s payment solutions will now be available to all merchants using commercetools via an API integration, built by the enterprise systems integrator and headless experts E2X. This will make Klarna easy to deploy and customise at scale for enterprise merchants.
commercetools has revolutionized the enterprise commerce platform market with an API-first, cloud-native solution that reduces complexity and increases both flexibility and speed for omnichannel brands and retailers. The new partnership between commercetools and Klarna will enable customers to quickly build highly individual shopping and payment experiences, without having to change their entire IT ecosystem first.
Headless commerce technology is retail’s response to meeting the soaring consumer expectations of seamless shopping experiences across multiple channels. With commercetools and Klarna, customers will be able to integrate Klarna through a Java application plugin which implements commercetools API extension endpoints for payment and order events. Upon receipt of these events, it will make calls to the Klarna API to create and update orders there. Not only is the integration quick and easy to manage, but it will allow retailers to curate bespoke purchasing experiences that are intuitive to their unique customer behaviours.
The new Klarna integration provides an excellent starting point for merchants looking to add alternative payment methods to the checkout experience.
