Payment methods

What WooCommerce customers can pay with

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

Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WooCommerce 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 plugin

Download the WooCommerce plugin and install it from Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in your WordPress admin.

4

Enable and test

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

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct Klarna plugin

A single-provider plugin 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 WooCommerce 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 plugin on GitHub (opens in new tab)
