Etsy buyers located in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, and Norway can receive their orders before paying for them, using a Klarna product called Klarna Pay in 30 days. Klarna is an online payments company, based and licensed in Sweden.
Receiving your Klarna payment instructions
If your order is completed by the seller within 21 days of checkout, the Klarna payment instructions are sent 5 days after the completion date. This ensures that you have time to receive the product before receiving the payment instructions.
If the order is not completed within 21 days, the Klarna payment instructions will be issued 22 days from your purchase date. Please review the Concerns about your Klarna order section below if you do not receive your purchase within the timeline provided by the seller.
If the order is for a digital item, the Klarna payment instructions are sent immediately after the order is completed.
Paying with Klarna
Please do not submit payment for Klarna orders off-Etsy, such as paying the seller through a direct bank transfer or through PayPal. You must pay with the payment instructions that Klarna sends to your email account and Klarna account for your Etsy purchases. If you made payment off-Etsy directly to your seller, you’ll need to work directly with that seller to recover the funds.
If you’re buying something on Etsy, and you’re located in an eligible country, you should see the option to pay with Klarna. To pay with Klarna:
- On Etsy.com or the Etsy app, go to your Cart.
- Under How you’ll pay, choose Klarna Pay in 30 days.
- Go to Proceed to checkout.
- Enter your information.
- Select Checkout.
- Klarna then conducts an identity and credit assessment. If you’re approved, the order will complete and you’ll receive an email receipt from Etsy.
- Once your order is shipped or more than 21 days have passed, you’ll receive an email with instructions for how to pay the Klarna invoice in 30 days. You can make direct payment for your Etsy purchase in the Klarna app or on klarna.com, even if you don't receive the email from us.
If you ordered items from multiple shops, you may receive separate payment instructions from Klarna. Learn more about multi-shop checkout on Etsy.
Note: At this time, Klarna Pay in 30 days is only available to buyers located in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. If you don’t see this option make sure your region settings are set to one of the following locations listed.

Receiving a refund for your Klarna order
Your receipt of the refund depends on whether you’ve received your payment instructions and/or paid with Klarna:
- If you have made a full payment for your order, Etsy will contact Klarna to refund all or part of your order. Klarna will process your refund as soon as possible and may contact you for additional information.
- If you’ve received your payment instructions but haven’t yet paid, Etsy will contact Klarna to adjust the amount due on your payment instructions, and if a balance is still owed, Klarna will issue new payment instructions to you.
- If you haven’t received your payment instructions yet, the refund will be processed after it has been issued. See our Receiving your Klarna payment instructions section for more information on when you can expect to receive your Klarna payment instructions.
