Since the pandemic, there has been an exponential growth in smartphone and contactless services, which has, in turn, accelerated the pace of mobile payments adoption in the eCommerce industry.
Businesses offering digital services are also working with leading fintech companies in the market, offering their customers buy now, pay later (BNPL) options, which have helped increase their overall sales.
Klarna, a Swedish online payments provider launched in 2005, has slowly grown to prominence, being one of the top international online payment gateways since it launched the BNPL feature in 2016.
Klarna is now used by over 147M+ users and accepted in 45+ countries by 400,000+ merchants, and is used to make over 2M+ daily transactions. It is also a leading payment provider in the US, with 4M+ monthly active users.
As the popularity of BNPL and other easy online payments continues to rise, eCommerce companies and digital retailers will need to support multiple payment gateways to help their target customers shop and make payments through the platform of their choice.
This enables eCommerce brands to provide ease of use and flexibility to their customers and is a sure-fire strategy to help win more eCommerce leads.
Here is a look at the top companies in the US that are offering Klarna as a payment gateway in 2022.
