Payment platform Citcon has announced it will include Klarna as a featured mobile wallet so merchants currently using the Citcon payment gateway can provide Klarna as a payment option for both online purchases and in-store payments.
In addition, merchants will gain access to Klarna’s payment offerings including Pay in 4, Pay in 30, and Financing.
The aim of the Citcon integration is to give consumers more choice in how they pay whilst driving customer loyalty. 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.
“At Citcon, we continue to fuel our customers’ success by making it easy for merchants to offer and accept any form of payment from consumers,” said Wei Jiang, COO & President Citcon. “Integrating Klarna into our payment gateway continues that mission by enabling merchants to quickly adopt alternative payment solutions that their global customers desire and appreciate.”
According to the company, integrating Klarna at checkout offers benefits such as an average 41% increase in order value from shoppers. The collaboration with Citcon is also expected to minimize the work required frommerchants in order to offer the service at checkout.
“We’re excited to offer Citcon’s network of leading merchants the benefits of our payment offerings across in-store and online touchpoints to further enable consumers to shop and pay how and where they want,” added Kristina Elkhazin, Head of North America, Klarna.
Klarna joins other popular mobile wallet and payment methods available through the Citcon global enterprise payment platform, including PayPal, Venmo, SquareCash, AliPay, WeChat Pay, Kakaopay, PayTm and Grabpay.
