The expansion builds on an existing European partnership, giving shoppers in Italy and Spain access to interest-free installment payments at checkout.
Klarna and the Douglas Group have expanded their European payments partnership to Italy and Spain, bringing flexible installment payment options to beauty shoppers across Southern Europe for the first time.
The expansion builds on a collaboration already established in other European markets. Shoppers in Italy and Spain will now have access to Klarna at checkout, including the option to split purchases into interest-free installments.
“Italy is a thriving and fast-growing market for beauty, and we are thrilled to bring Klarna’s payment solutions to Douglas shoppers here,” said Luigi Traldi, head of Klarna in Southern Europe. “Our partnership reflects a shared vision of putting the customer experience first: offering flexible, frictionless payment options that make every checkout as enjoyable as the products in the basket.”
