Whether you’re buying a new set of headphones or have a large expense, you expect to be able to use a payment method that fits your lifestyle and needs. And that demand for flexibility at the online checkout extends beyond credit cards.
The popularity of BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) payment methods has grown exponentially since their debut in early 2010s.
Savvy online businesses and organizations today offer some form of BNPL because they understand that the more payment options they offer, the more they can cut down on cart abandonment (and capture more completed purchases).
We’re happy to let you know that you can now accept Klarna payments through Stripe in Jotform. Now it’s even easier to offer flexible payment plans to your customers.
Why Flexible Payment Options Matter
Flexible payment options should matter to every business simply because they matter to consumers. “The customer is always right” may be an overused aphorism but, in the case of BNPL payment methods, it’s spot on and for those businesses that abide by it, it translates into higher revenue.
Why Businesses and Organizations Add BNPL Methods Like Klarna*
💰 Businesses see 10% higher conversion rates and 14% higher revenue
📈 51% of customers are more likely to complete purchases when BNPL is available
🛒 81% of customers abandon checkout if their preferred payment method isn’t offered
✨ Two-thirds of BNPL purchases are net-new sales

This means BNPL can positively impact your customers – and your organization, no matter what kind – in multiple ways:
- E-commerce businesses can see higher sales conversion and higher rates of user satisfaction, with consumers knowing their preferred payment method is available with your shop.
- Be it an online course, sports league, big event, or something else, registration opportunities open up for those who need to extend payments (while you gain new business).
- Nonprofit causes depend on a steady stream of charitable giving so giving your donors the chance to use BNPL through Klarna means more potential donors – over a longer period of time.
- Catering orders, maintenance, booking and other services sometimes need more payment planning, particularly for large expenses. Your customers will appreciate an added BNPL method.
- For leagues and associations, as well as certain subscription-based service offerings, payment flexibility helps to reduce hesitation around joining and gets people onboard.

Klarna Availability Requirements
Klarna is used throughout North America, Europe, Asia and AUS/NZ. And while BNPL is a great option for consumers, its payment method availability is dependent upon a few factors, such as
- Where your customer is located
- The location of your business
- The type of currency being used
- The total order amount
For detailed information about Klarna’s availability, access Stripe’s documentation for the most up to date supported countries, currencies and guidelines.
Give Your Customers Another Way to Purchase with You
Klarna’s availability via the Stripe integration is a smart way to potentially gain more customers/orders while increasing customer satisfaction at the same time. Additionally, for those with a Stripe integration already in place, it’s can be as simple as toggling on the switch.
