I have been trying for 8 days to make the app work in order to show the app block placements on the product page. I get this error " "app-block" not added. There is a problem with the app block. Contact the app developer." I have raised also two tickets on support page. I use theme dawn which is a shopify 2.0 theme. Can you please help, my MID is K****125 ?

Same experience as other users: the app doesn't work and the customer is nowhere to be found. Opened a ticket 8 days ago... The app used to work on our store, but wouldn't translate for German customers. We were advised to reinstall it, which completely broke it.

Hello! We regret to hear that you had trouble setting up the app - the expected behavior is that the app will connect even when you are using Klarna via Shopify Payments. Can you reach out to skosm@klarna.com for further assistance? Hope to resolve this with you ASAP.

First of all it was extremely confusing to set up and i've no idea what the online messaging thing is actually supposed to do, but even worse, they're registering return requests as chargebacks. Klarna's own site state that you need to register an account with them to be able to offer the service with Shopify, while Shopify said exactly the opposite, just enable Klarna and it will work. It did, but by then we had already set up an account with Klarna so I don't know whether we needed it or not. As others have said, support is awful. I contacted them three times and eventually got a reply, which had literally nothing to do with the questions I had asked them. But the worst was to come. We have only had Klarna set up for a couple of months, have received a few orders (would we have got those orders without Klarna? None were high value) but here's the problem: If a buyer wants to return an item they apparently have to report it to Klarna. Klarna them register this return as a chargeback and you're charged £10 for the privilege. Having NEVER had a chargeback in 6 years we have now had 3 in 2 days, one for an order that was never sent because the buyer asked to cancel - it seems Klarna need to be notified and then register this as a chargeback. A second order from the SAME buyer which WE cancelled and this was also then registered as a chargeback, and a third one today, after a customer had asked to return an item and we agreed and gave him return details only to be notified 2 hours later that he had filed a chargeback. This time we asked the buyer why he had filed a chargeback as we had already accepted his return request and he insists he hasn't, only that he had to inform Klarna he was returning the item. This is how we found out what was happening. It's absolutely farcical - we're charged £10 and have to fill in a chargeback defence claim even though the buyer (apparently) hasn't filed a chargeback. It seems that it's just Klarna being Klarna. Needless to say we have now disabled the payment option and unless we get a full personal explanation and assurances that it won't happen again we will not be using Klarna in the future. REPLY TO KLARNA'S RESPONSE: I'm well aware that this is for the on-Site Messaging app and not the Klarna Payment System but it is important that business owners understand what they are getting into, and you have provided a classic example of the problem here: You state that "If you have enabled Klarna via Shopify Payments, returns registered by customers through the Klarna app will come through as disputes. You must respond to them via email to avoid the chargeback. Chargebacks will only occur if you do not respond, at which point Klarna will close the dispute in favor of the customer." Well I'm sorry, but that's absurd. Why would a return be logged as a dispute? Every business on here will tell you that returns are common and there is no reason whatsoever that you should be logging them as a dispute. Furthermore, it puts us in a very difficult position because we have no idea what the buyer has said to Klarna. If Klarna are to intervene at all it should only be as a last resort. In my case I had a buyer who asked for a refund before the item had even been dispatched and you logged it as a dispute, another order rom the same buyer which we cancelled because of the first dispute (we didn't want to risk another dispute but she reported it AFTER we had cancelled the order and you logged it as a dispute anyway, and this third one. This third one is a relatively high ticket item that the buyer has returned, falsely claiming it is faulty. we have rigorously tested and inspected the item and it is working perfectly. Despite this, from day one it has been logged as a dispute. It is now 5 days since the buyer returned the item and we have since tried to contact the buyer. However, in a previous email, when we advised him that the item needed to be tested he replied stating that "we had no reason to contact him" and email are now being returned undelivered, indicating that he has blocked us. Why? Because, according to him, Klarna has ALREADY REFUNDED HIM. If that is the case he was refunded before we even received the item back from him. His return is well past the window for unwanted purchase returns and there is nothing wrong with the item, as we suspected, so he is not entitled to a refund under the terms of the Consumer rights Act but it seems you've given him one anyway. This order has NOT been cancelled because he is not entitled to a refund but we haven't even had the chance to put our case forward. According to the details on our Shopify dashboard. "The inquiry response has been submitted. The customer’s bank will receive the response on March 14, 2025 at 11:00 pm". Where does this leave us? Because we are therefore still owed 100% of the payment. Sorry, but you cannot treat people this way. Retailers have rights too. You should not have taken ANY action without communicating with us first, you should absolutely not be making decisions based on nothing more than the fact that the buyer asked to return an item and we should not have to chase for a payment that has already been made then apparently taken away from us again, which is precisely what will happen when you finally get around the looking at this case on March 14. Regardless of the outcome you should not be placing us in this position in the first place. There's no way I will be reintroducing Klarna if this is how you deal with returns, there is no need for you to intervene at all. REPLY TO 2nd KLARNA RESPONSE: You're damned right we should not have received chargebacks, and needless to say the main one has now been found in the buyer's favour despite providing thorough representation explaining that after extensive tests we found absolutely nothing wrong with the item the buyer returned claiming it was faulty. A conclusion that despite contacting us many times, including several abusive messages, simply stating that he is not paying NOT ONCE has the buyer contested our findings. Yet Klarna still found the case in his favour. As my chance to present our case closed at midnight on 12 March and the decision was made just 4 hours later, at 04:00 a.m., clearly this decision was made by bot. Absolute farce and I will indeed be contacting you by email, because if this decision isn't reversed we're going to court. Totally disgusted.

Hello, We don't believe you should have received chargebacks in these scenarios, so we've looked into our backend and noticed that you were onboarded without an email address - meaning you haven't been receiving notifications from Klarna. Can you reach out to merchant@klarna.com so that we can resolve this issue with you directly? Thanks. ___________________________ We regret that your implementation of Klarna has been frustrating and has not met your expectations. You have left a review for the Klarna On-site messaging app. You can use this app to add messaging on your site that advertises Klarna as a payment option. This app is not the Klarna payment method, and only works if you have already enabled Klarna in your checkout. To offer Klarna as a payment method in your checkout, you have two options. You can enable Klarna through our Shopify Platform integration, or through Shopify Payments. If you have enabled Klarna via Shopify Payments, returns registered by customers through the Klarna app will come through as disputes. You must respond to them via email to avoid the chargeback. Chargebacks will only occur if you do not respond, at which point Klarna will close the dispute in favor of the customer. To clarify, customers are not required to report returns to Klarna, they must follow your return instructions. However, a customer can report a return to Klarna so that outstanding payments are paused until you have issued the return. If you cancelled an order through Shopify's order management system, you should not receive a chargeback. Can you reach out to skosm@klarna.com so that we can work with you to resolve any outstanding issues? Hope to hear from you soon.

I was unable to get the app installed on my store at first. My brain was so fogged up. I took a break for a few days and went back to try and integrate Klarna to my website and it was really easy. I guess it just took me to slow down and read everything thoroughly. I went back to my site to check and make sure it was done successful and now I'm happy and can share the news with my customers. For anyone out there struggling like i was just take a mental break. Then go back to the klarna app on your shopify store click the dots on the top right then hit manage it will send you to the klarna app log in with your business info and then follow the steps from there. Make sure you have your merchant ID handy. The app will automatically try to integrate. Then it will switch to your shopify store but it wont go through. There will be a box that says manual entry thats where you put in your merchant ID and then your done, its activated. I think thats all the steps lol, sorry if I missed one. Just follow the last few steps after that. Hope this helps.

Schlimmste Installationserfahrung. Ich versuche seit einem Monat, es in meinem Shopify-Shop zu installieren, immer noch ohne Erfolg. Schreckliche Unterstützung. Tagelang vergehen, ohne zu antworten. Wenn sie antworten, scheinen sie nicht zu wissen, wie sie das Problem lösen sollen, indem sie verstreute Fragen stellen, um Zeit zu sparen. Nach einem Monat und nachdem ich alle Unterlagen eingereicht habe, habe ich die App immer noch nicht in meinem Shop installiert. Sie sind nicht ...

The app is not working. Don't lie to people. I have not been contacted by any support team. The bad reviews are 100% real. This app simply doesn’t work, and the technical support is awful. I've been waiting over three weeks for a response, and still nothing. If I could give zero stars, I would.

worst installation experience. I've been trying to install it on my Shopify store for a month, still without success. terrible assistance. Days go by without responding, when they do respond, they seem to not know how to resolve the issue by asking scattered questions to save time. After a month and after submitting all the documentation, I still havent the app installed in my store. They are not at all interested in solving the problem.

With shopify payment allowing to integrate Klarna payments, why can’t we have an account with it, to then actually use your service? We have been providing all necessary information to create a merchant account to then being able to offer Klarna to customers, business is registered, business bank account provided, at least 14 days return policy applied on our website and policy, we have provided all ID’s, business info displayed on our website, what else do you want? Very sad because as customers of Klarna we find it very useful and impactful. Such a shame we can’t offer it to our customers

Now that Shopify integrates directly with Klarna, https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/local-payment-methods/klarna , this app shouldn't require a Klarna account to be able to enable the on-site messaging on the product page. Without an account this is useless. :( I have contacted merchant@klarna.com three days ago without an answer.

It only shows the 6 months rate for Klarna financing. Instead it would be a lot better to have a message showing "starting at [the 12 months rate] per month".

Thank you for your review. Depending on the settings in the app On-Site Messaging will show to customers located in the country that matches what is on your Klarna agreement used for the store. You can use for example VPN to simulate this. Checking your website now Klarna On-Site Messaging appears clearly using a US VPN, while when using a European VPN it would not which would be expected behaviour. If you have further feedback we would love to hear from you on merchant@klarna.com.
