Klarna Pay Later is a payment method provided by Klarna AB, a popular Swedish bank, to payers in Europe.

In Klarna Pay Later, payers can make the payment within the specified number of days. Payers review the items that the merchant delivers to them and keep only those items that they intend to purchase and pay for, and return all the unwanted items. For the approved payments, Klarna AB assumes all credit and fraud risk, and pays you the full amount for an order. Ensure to refund each item that payers return to you through the [Refund](https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-gateway/documentation/api-reference/v100/rest/api-ops/index.md#transaction) operation. Payers can cancel orders by performing a Refund for the full purchased amount. Klarna Pay Later subsequently invoices payers and collects the payment, providing email notifications and reminders in advance of the payment due date.

## Klarna Pay Later Integration {#klarna-pay-later-integration}

### Klarna Pay Later through Hosted Checkout {#klarna-pay-later-through-hosted-checkout}

Hosted Checkout integration allows you to collect payment details from your payers through an interaction that the Mastercard Gateway hosts and displays.

From Mastercard Gateway API version 52 and later, Klarna Pay Later is automatically available as a payment method once your payment service provider enables and configures you for this payment method.

For details, see [Browser Payments through Hosted Checkout Integration](https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-gateway/documentation/payment-methods/imp-brow-pay-int/index.md#browser-payments-through-hosted-checkout-integration).

## Klarna Pay Later through Direct Payment {#klarna-pay-later-through-direct-payment}

Direct Payment integration allows you to offer the Klarna Pay Later on your own checkout page.

Klarna Pay Later is supported from Mastercard Gateway API version 52 and later.

Make the Initiate Browser Payment request where `sourceOfFunds.type` = KLARNA_PAY_LATER and `browserPayment.operation` = PAY (Klarna Pay Later does not support the Authorize operation).

Warning: If your API version is lower than 61, use the `sourceOfFunds.type` = KLARNA PAY LATER when you make the Initiate Browser Payment request.
