Klarna Express Checkout
Introduction
Klarna Express Checkout (KEC) is an addition to the Klarna Payments (KP) plugin. It will add a button on the cart and product pages, to initiate the Klarna Payments flow. Either the product viewed, which is then added to the cart, or the current cart.
When the KEC flow is initated Klarna will authorize the customer for the amount specified in the cart. Klarna will then pass back the shipping details for the customer and redirect them to the checkout page, where they can complete the order with Klarna directly.
Please note that Klarna Express Checkout is an option you can enable or disable with Klarna Payments. This option is not available with Klarna Checkout.
Limitations
Since the authorization is done before the order is actually placed, there are some limitations on what alterations the customer are allowed and still remain in the KEC flow. For example, if the customer changes the address details provided by Klarna, the plugin throws away the KEC session and reloads the checkout to load the standard KP flow again.
If the content of the cart is changed, the KEC session is thrown away in the same manner as above, and the standard KP flow is loaded.
