BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading provider of open, composable commerce solutions for B2C and B2B brands, retailers, manufacturers and distributors, today announced that Klarna, the AI-powered payments and commerce network, has become a global preferred payments partner. As a global preferred partner, Klarna will bring its flexible, interest-free payment options to merchants worldwide, enhancing the shopping experience and driving growth with one single integration.
Klarna offers a wide range of payment options, including Pay in Full, a hassle-free transaction for those who want to pay the full amount of their order upfront, Pay in 4, which allows customers to split their purchase into four interest-free payments, as well as Fair Financing, which offers flexible payment plans for larger purchases. The partnership furthers BigCommerce and Klarna’s mutual mission to help brands and retailers optimize their checkouts and conversion rates by offering payment flexibility and making large purchases more accessible to consumers.
“BigCommerce is committed to empowering merchants with the flexibility and tools they need to grow on their own terms,” said Michaela Weber, senior vice president of strategic business development and general manager of payments at BigCommerce. “Klarna’s extensive global reach, trusted brand and shopper-first approach make them an ideal partner for our merchants. Together, we are expanding access to flexible payment solutions that drive conversion and customer loyalty across international markets.”
“Today’s consumers expect greater flexibility and convenience in how they pay,” said David Sykes, chief commercial officer at Klarna. “Our partnership with BigCommerce enables brands and retailers to streamline their operations through a single global solution, eliminating the need for fragmented regional providers and delivering a smooth, scalable experience for businesses and their customers alike.”
Klarna is natively integrated to BigCommerce and can be easily enabled for the brands, retailers, manufacturers, distributors and other merchants that choose to use it. As a native integration, it is also maintained by BigCommerce’s development team, making it a great option for merchants that need checkout customizations and flexibility.
“Implementing Klarna with our BigCommerce store has been a big asset to our strategy to provide a market-leading purchasing experience,” said Jon Cleaver, CTO at SportsShoes.com, a leading UK-based online running shoes, running clothing and outdoor gear retailer. “Our customers appreciate the flexibility it gives them, and it in turn has helped maintain SportsShoes.com’s position as an unrivalled retailer in the running, fitness and outdoor communities.”
