Payment methods

What WHMCS customers can pay with

Each method Klarna supports appears in your WHMCS checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the WHMCS side.

Pay in instalments

The order is split into scheduled payments

Pay later

The shopper is invoiced after delivery

Pay now

Immediate payment through Klarna's checkout

Setup

Connect Klarna to WHMCS

Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WHMCS installation guide.

1

Open a Klarna account

Register with Klarna and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Klarna to your own bank account.

2

Add it in PaymentHood

Paste your Klarna credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.

3

Install the module

Download the WHMCS module and install it from Apps & Integrations in your WHMCS admin.

4

Enable and test

Paste your PaymentHood API key into the module settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct Klarna module

A single-provider module works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.

Webhook security
Signed push notification, validated before an order is released
Payment verification
Server-side order status re-check against the Klarna API before fulfilment
Credentials
API username and password issued per market, held server-side in PaymentHood
  • Add a second provider without touching your WHMCS checkout
  • Automatic failover when Klarna is unreachable, instead of a failed order
  • Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
  • One reconciliation view across every provider you run
  • Free and open source — read the module on GitHub (opens in new tab)

No. Klarna bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
