Reviews Summary
The reviews for the Klarna Shopify App highlight several negative aspects. Merchants have reported losing both goods and money after chargebacks, with no real protection or transparent appeal process from Klarna. The app is described as glitchy, difficult to uninstall, and with high fees. Users have faced challenges in removing payment options from checkout and banners from product pages. Additionally, there are concerns about disputes being automatically created due to software errors, leading to financial losses for merchants. Overall, the app is seen as shifting all risks onto the seller and being unsafe for serious businesses.

I used Klarna via Shopify Payments and lost both the goods and the money after a chargeback, despite confirmed delivery and full evidence provided (tracking number and customer correspondence). The customer kept the product and received a refund, while I was charged additional fees. Klarna offers no real protection for merchants, no transparent appeal process and no accountability. Support only redirects between Klarna and Shopify, with no concrete solution. This payment method shifts all risk onto the seller and is unsafe for any serious business.

Glitchy. Not easy to uninstall (try to lock you in). High fees for what it is. Seems impossible to: 1. Remove the payment option from checkout 2. Remove banner from product pages AVOID.

WARNING! Do not use Klarna with Shopify payments! If a customer reports a return in Klarna it automatically comes through as a dispute due to a Shopify error. Even after providing the evidence with a dispute they are always automatically 'lost' because it isn't a real dispute (but created by a software error) Check this community thread for people loosing hundreds or even thousands due to this issue https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/shopify-opens-disputes-for-returns-via-klarna-payments/m-p/2824337 Shopify support claim nothing can be done from their end about 'disputes' although it is their error that creates it. On our store Klarna as an independent payment platform does not create this issue, it is specifically related to it being used with Shopify payments
Hi Gathershop, Thanks for your feedback! Shopify is aware of this issue and is actively working on this with their payments partner, supported by Klarna. We hope that there will be improvements to the disputes issues in the coming months. If you believe a dispute has been mishandled, can you reach out to us at [email protected] so that we can understand the context? Thanks. We hope that in the future you will consider updating this review to reflect your experience with the Klarna app if you are using it, which is not related to Shopify Payments.
