Checkout page template

The appearance of the Klarna Checkout page comes with a two-column layout. In this layout we have shopping cart, delivery options and customer order note in the left-hand column while Klarna’s checkout (where you enter personal information and choose payment method) is shown in the right-hand column.

Sometimes you need to change the design of the checkout page and with Klarna Checkout for WooCommerce it is possible in a couple of different ways.

Simple CSS changes

If you only want to make minor design changes, CSS adjustments may be enough to get you where you want. For example, to create a checkout page with a single-column layout, add the following CSS to your theme:

#kco-wrapper #kco-order-review,
#kco-wrapper #kco-iframe {
	width: 100%;
	float: none;
	clear: both;
}

Remove, add and move with action hooks

If you want to make some more extensive changes to the layout of the checkout page, it is recommended to work with action hooks.

The checkout template file

templates/klarna-checkout.php

On the Klarna Checkout template page, there are several action hooks you can use to add code or content. These hooks have the following names:

• woocommerce_before_checkout_form
• kco_wc_before_order_review
• kco_wc_after_order_review
• kco_wc_before_snippet
• kco_wc_after_snippet
• woocommerce_after_checkout_form

You can find their location here:

Through these action hooks, you can easily add information to different locations on the checkout page.

Create your own template file

If you need to make changes that can’t be accomplished via action hooks, then you are able to overwrite the checkout template file via your theme. The plugin supports WooCommerce’s way of handling template files.

The template file used for displaying Klarna Checkout is called klarna-checkout.php and it is located in the templates folder in the plugin. To overwrite the file, copy it from the plugin, then paste it into the /woocommerce folder in your theme. Now you have the opportunity to make the changes you want. Keep in mind that the action hooks woocommerce_before_checkout_form and woocommerce_after_checkout_form must remain for the plugin to work properly.
