You can use Klarna on Amazon smartly to buy any product and pay later conveniently even though it is not directly accessible.
Shopping on Amazon is everyone’s favorite as you can get almost any products you need but when it comes to financing, you will mostly have to use alternatives to buy now and pay later on Amazon.
If you own a Klarna account, your purchasing credit can be used to finance any Amazon products conveniently without being stressed out by the thought of paying upfront. This though requires alternative routes as Amazon is not one of the stores that accepts Klarna directly for financing.
How to use Klarna on Amazon for shopping
You can use the below methods to spread the cost of Amazon purchases if you have a Klarna account:
Klarna single-use card
You can also use Klarna on Amazon by generating the pay-in-4 virtual card it provides.
The below steps show how you can use it for shopping on Amazon:
Choose the pay with ‘Your credit and debit cards’ option
Once you have added the items you want to buy to your Amazon cart, click the proceed to checkout button to go to the payment page; after that, select the credit or debit card option.
Shop normally by adding the products you want to buy into your cart and proceed to the checkout page to make payments.
Once you have filled in your delivery details, the next item will require you to choose a preferred payment method.
For you to complete the order using your Klarna on Amazon, click the ‘Add a credit or debit card’. This action will open up a form where you will be required to fill in the payment information.
Log in to your Klarna app dashboard and generate a one-time card
The Klarna card is one of the amazing tools it provides to enable you to enjoy your purchasing power outside its platform.
Now, you need to access the app interface which is also possible when you are using the web portal to generate your payment card.
Simply click the option to create a one-time use card and Klarna will provide the option for you to fill in the shopping information.
Set the spending limit and other needed details
This is a very important step when you want to use your card powered by Klarna on Amazon hence, ensure you pay attention in handling this part.
Just like most of the BNPL virtual cards, it works on a prepaid model that requires setting an exact amount needed for shopping.
Enter the exact value of the Amazon product you want to buy, including details and any cost attributed to shipping, and your preferred plan from any of its pay-in-4 or long-term financing.
An example is, if the cost of the product is $300 and the shipping fee is $15, the value you should provide when creating the card is $315.
The reason is that the card provided by Klarna is more of a prepaid card and if you enter an amount lesser than your cart total value on Amazon, it could be declined.
After entering the purchase amount, you will be given an overview of the agreement which serves as a confirmation.
You should note that a flat service fee (or APR for longer-term financing) will be added to your purchase amount for its one-time card payment method.
Once you have the necessities, proceed to create the card to generate the needed information that you will use to complete your Amazon order.
Enter the virtual card details on the Amazon payment page
Once you have the card details, you can enter them into the credit/debit card form to continue your order process.
The card number is the longest number among the details available for your card which you can copy and paste into this field.
The CVV is the three digits and ensure to provide the correct expiration date as available for your card. As for the name, this is the same as the name you use on your Klarna account.
Once you have filled in these details, simply click the ‘Add your card’ button.
Complete the Purchase and Exit
Once you successfully add the card to your payment page, you can proceed to submit the request and complete the order.
The card might be saved to your Amazon account once the order request is submitted and you should go to your payment page and remove it as it will not work anymore when you want to shop with it the next time.

Klarna on Amazon financing options
When it comes to using Klarna to buy products on Amazon, there are two financing options you can access which include:
- Pay-in-4: the pay in four is its most commonly used option and this will allow you to buy any product on Amazon and pay for it in four installments with your first payment deducted the same day of the order. The rest of the product cost will charged on a bi-weekly basis until the last week of the second month
- Long-term financing: this option could be better for you if the cost of the item you want to buy is too high for you to repay in four. The long-term financing will enable you to spread repayments up to 24 months. This comes at an APR between 0-29.99% and it is dependent on the option you selected at checkout
You can decide on any of these financing options whether you are using the Klarna Chrome extension to shop on Amazon, generating a one-time valid card you can use to make payments, or shopping through the app.
What products can I buy with Klarna on Amazon?
When it comes to the items you can use your Klarna account to pay for when shopping on Amazon, there are a few restrictions like food items and electronic gift cards but most products on Amazon fall within its accepted categories.
However, you cannot exceed your shopping credit when splitting the payments hence, ensure whatever product you want to purchase is within the value your shopping power assigned by Klarna can handle.
If your purchasing power is not enough to cover the cost of your cart total, try the long-term financing option if you can get a higher limit.
Nevertheless, you should be able to buy most products you want on Amazon and pay-in-4 with your Klarna account.
Why is my transaction getting declined by Amazon using the Klarna card?
If you are trying to complete payment and your card is getting declined, there could many reasons for this:
- First, ensure the card on your Amazon account is a recently generated one-time valid virtual card and not one you have used previously but forgot to remove from your account. The single-use card cannot be used for more than one transaction hence, generates a new one for every transaction even if it is on the same day
- Another reason could be that the cost of your Amazon cart value is higher than the value you specified while creating the virtual card. The virtual card is a prepaid card that requires some funds in it before you can use it for making payment hence, ensure you provide the correct value before creating it. Add all applicable fees like tax or shipping cost together with the product cost
- Thirdly, it could be an issue at Klarna’s end and you can resolve this by checking with the customer support team to understand the reason why it is not working
How will Klarna handle the refund if the product is returned to Amazon for a defect?
In terms of refunds for the products you purchased using your Klarna on Amazon, the process differs depending on the route of the order.
- If your order was through Abunda, you can directly return this product to Abunda who will then work with Amazon to process the refund. Once the fund is received from Amazon on your behalf, it will be paid back to your account through the original payment method for the transaction. This flow also applies when you buy gift cards with your purchasing credits
- The other options are entirely managed by Klarna but you will have to return the product to Amazon who will then process the refund to Klarna. Once Klarna receives the refund, the original payment method will also be used to process it to your account
Amazon is an amazing platform to buy products you need for almost anything you can think of hence, the importance for you to be able to finance items when you are short on budget.
With alternative routes, you can seamlessly do this by using Klarna on Amazon to buy any product and pay later conveniently if you have an account.
Having it as one of the online stores where you can shop with your purchasing power means a lot, and you should keep it in your favorite store list for product financing.
