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
