Mobile wallet payments company Citcon has announced an integration which adds Klarna as a featured mobile wallet through the former’s omni-channel payment platform. Merchants currently using the Citcon payment gateway can now provide Klarna as a payment option for online purchases and in-store payments using Citcon’s payment capability.

The Citcon integration will provide merchants with access to Klarna’s payment offerings, including Pay in 4, Pay in 30, and Financing to give consumers more choice in how they pay and drive customer loyalty. Merchants will be able to offer these payment options in-store, as well as online on a global basis. For in-store purchases, Klarna will leverage Citcon’s QR-based payments capabilities that allow consumers to either present or scan a QR code when using the Klarna App to make a payment.

According to representatives from Klarna, as consumers worldwide demand flexible payment options and a more seamless, convenient shopping experience, the partnership between Klarna and Citcon is more important than ever. They’re excited to offer Citcon’s network of merchants the benefits of their payment offerings across in-store and online touchpoints to further enable consumers to shop and pay how and where they want. Improving the checkout results Integrating Klarna at checkout will enable Citcon merchants to realise benefits of offering seamless payment options, such as an average 41% increase in order value from shoppers.
