What is Klarna?
Klarna is a "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) service. It allows guests to split their total booking cost into smaller, interest-free installments or pay later in full.
Why use it?
Increase Booking Value: Guests are more likely to commit to high-value reservations (e.g., a $1,000 stay) if they can pay in installments.
You Get Paid Upfront: Even though the guest pays in installments, Klarna pays you the full amount immediately. Klarna takes on the credit risk.
Target Demographics: Extremely popular with Millennials and Gen Z travelers who use BNPL as a budgeting tool.
Guest Experience
Guest selects Klarna at checkout.
They choose a payment plan (e.g., Pay in 4).
Klarna performs a "soft" credit check that doesn't affect their score.
The booking is confirmed, and you receive the full payout.
Refunds & Limitations
Refunds: Supported up to 180 days. Partial refunds will adjust the guest's remaining installment balance.
Limitations: Only available for Pay by Link. Not available for "Card on File" or automated task charges.
