Can you put Klarna on PayPal?

Answered by James Kissner

I can give you a detailed answer to your question. As of now, Klarna is not officially accepted as a payment method on PayPal. However, there is a workaround that allows you to use Klarna with PayPal for purchases at stores that use PayPal as their payment provider.

Here’s how it works: When you want to make a purchase using Klarna, you go through the usual process of selecting Klarna as your payment method. However, instead of directly linking your PayPal account to Klarna, you will be prompted to create a one-time card. This one-time card is a temporary virtual card number that you can use for the transaction.

Once you have generated the one-time card, you can then proceed to the payment page of the store and select PayPal as your payment method. When prompted to enter your card details, you simply enter the temporary virtual card number that Klarna provided you with. This allows you to use Klarna as a payment method indirectly through PayPal.

It’s worth noting that this method may not work for all stores or with all versions of Klarna, as it ultimately depends on the integration between Klarna and PayPal. Additionally, it’s important to follow the specific instructions provided by Klarna during the checkout process to ensure a successful transaction.

In my personal experience, I have used this workaround successfully for a few online purchases. It’s a convenient option if you prefer using Klarna for its payment flexibility, while still being able to take advantage of the wide acceptance of PayPal.

To sum it up, while Klarna is not directly integrated with PayPal as a payment method, you can still use Klarna with PayPal by generating a one-time card from Klarna and using it as a virtual card number for PayPal transactions. Just remember to follow the instructions provided by Klarna and check the compatibility with the specific store you are making a purchase from.
