BigCommerce, a commerce solution provider for retailers, manufacturers and distributors, has selected Klarna, the AI-powered payments and commerce network, as its preferred payments partner.
As a global preferred partner, Klarna will bring its flexible, interest-free payment options to BigCommerce merchants worldwide, enhancing the shopping experience and driving growth with a single integration.
Klarna offers a range of payment options, including ‘Pay in Full’ for those who want to pay the full amount of their order upfront, ‘Pay in 4’, which enables 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 mission to help brands and retailers optimise their checkouts and conversion rates by offering payment flexibility and making large purchases more accessible to consumers.
“Klarna’s extensive global reach, trusted brand and shopper-first approach make them an ideal partner for our merchants,” explained Michaela Weber, senior vice president of strategic business development and general manager of payments at BigCommerce. “Together, we are expanding access to flexible payment solutions that drive conversion and customer loyalty across international markets.”
Enhancing flexibility and convenience
“Today’s consumers expect greater flexibility and convenience in how they pay,” added 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, which is natively integrated with BigCommerce, can be easily enabled for the brands, retailers, manufacturers, distributors and other merchants that choose to use it. BigCommerce’s development team is maintaining the integration, making it an attractive option for merchants requiring checkout customisations 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.”
