Payments

Klarna is an additional payment method you can use alongside your core payment solution.

If you do not have a Klarna account and would like to offer this service to your customers you can sign up here: https://www.klarna.com/uk/business/merchant-support/how-do-i-sign-up-with-klarna/

If you would like to test Klarna while you are waiting for your account to be set up you can create a Klarna playground account here: https://docs.klarna.com/resources/test-environment

Please do not set up a demo version of Klarna playground on your production site! 

Contact Dearnex using: https://support.dearnex.cloud to get a demo store setup if you have a production site and want to test Klarna.

Once you have registered your merchant account with Klarna and have completed the sign up process with Klarna you will be presented with a dashboard to manage your accounts.
