Klarna Payments HPP for VirtueMart released

We are thrilled to announce the long-awaited solution that allows accepting payments through Klarna in VirtueMart. As you may know, there are several different methods for accepting payments with Klarna. This plugin works as a Klarna Payments Hosted Payment Page (HPP). The release comes as Joomla 5/4 and Joomla 3 versions.
A user finalizes checkout, is redirected to Klarna's external page, and returns back to VirtueMart after completing the payment.
Plugin's key features
- Joomla 5 and Joomla 3 versions (two editions of the product).
- Support of Joomla Update System.
- Accept payments from all major debit and credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, Dinners), iDEAL & etc.
- Secure Payments that meet PCI-DSS compliance.
What is Klarna?
Klarna is a global payment service provider that allows customers to choose flexible payment options at checkout. These can include:
- Pay Now (instant payment via card or bank transfer)
- Pay Later (typically 14 or 30 days after delivery)
- Pay in Installments (split the cost into interest-free payments)
- Financing (longer-term monthly payments)
Klarna aims to make online shopping easier and more customer-friendly by offering secure and flexible ways to pay.
The Hosted Payment Page (HPP) is a secure, prebuilt checkout page provided by Klarna. Instead of processing the payment directly on your website, the customer is:
- Redirected to Klarna’s hosted page to complete their payment.
- Shown Klarna’s available payment options based on their location, eligibility, and device.
- Returned to your store after completing the payment.
Key benefits of using Klarna HPP:
- No sensitive card or payment data handled on your site (simplifies PCI compliance)
- Klarna manages the payment logic and risk checks
- Clean, mobile-optimized, and secure interface for customers
