Customers around the world enjoy checking out using their preferred local payment method. Providing different payment methods can lead to more sales.

Klarna offers payment options for Shopify Payment users in Germany and some other countries. With Klarna Now and Klarna Pay Later, your customers can choose to pay for their orders immediately, or at a later date by invoice.

Klarna Pay Now

Klarna Pay Now is a payment method option through Shopify Payments. Klarna Pay Now lets customers pay for their order using their online banking details. Klarna Pay Now connects with the customer’s bank account so that funds are immediately debited. If this is the first time they're using Klarna, then they'll be prompted to enter payment credentials for immediate authentication by Klarna. You receive the funds on your next Shopify Payments payout.

Klarna Pay Later

Klarna Pay Later is an invoicing payment method option through Shopify Payments. When a customer selects Klarna Pay Later as their payment method, they agree to pay for their purchase at a later date, usually a two week pay-back schedule. Klarna pays for the order immediately and the funds are included on your next Shopify Payments payout.

Your customer’s experience with Klarna Pay Later might vary depending on their location. Your customers have 14 days from the time of shipment to review and pay for the goods. If you have delayed delivery times, then you should highlight this in your shipping or store policy to inform your customers.

EPS (Electronic Payment Standard)

EPS (Electronic Payment Standard) is an online banking payment method through Shopify Payments. EPS lets customers pay for their orders using their online bank. When the customer chooses EPS at checkout, they are shown a list of participating Austrian banks. If this is the first time they are using EPS, then your customer selects their bank and enters their login details. The amount due is sent from their online bank to you on your next Shopify Payments payout.
