Redirect Integration (PXP Financial Checkout)

The following chapter is relevant only for merchants that are using the PXP Financial Redirect integration (Checkout).

Redirection to Selection or Detail Page

Depending on the Checkout integration model of the merchant, there are two options how to redirect the customer to the PXP Financial checkout:

  • Selection page: customer selects the payment method in the PXP Financial Checkout selection page
  • Detail page: merchant redirects the customer directly to the Klarna Detail page of the PXP Financial Checkout (customer has preselected the Klarna payment method on the merchant checkout page).

To redirect the customer directly to the PXP Financial Checkout Detail Page of Klarna Deposit payment method, the following payment method has to be provided in the getRedirectData request:

IDName
369Klarna Deposit

As explained in the chapter above Additionally required Data for Klarna Deposit to create a successful Klarna Deposit, some usually optional data is mandatory in the PXP Financial getRedirectData API.

Specifically for merchants using the Checkout/Redirect Integration, the following parameters have to be provided in addition to the ones described above in the getRedirectData call:

FieldValue
redirectParameters.languageCode (string, required)Defines the language of the PXP Financial Checkout pages and also the language of the Klarna checkout pages.
redirectParameters.countryCode (string, required)This parameter has two purposes for Klarna Deposit:
Defines the browser culture together with the languageCode for the PXP Financial Checkout pages and also the language of the Klarna checkout pages.
 It also defines the purchase country of the customer which is used by Klarna to identify which payment methods they offer. See Supported Countries and currencies for information which countries are supported by Klarna and PXP Financial.

Note: if the value provided for countryCode is different from the value provided in field redirectParameters.user.address.countryCode2 (interpreted as billing address country code), the billing address country code will be considered as purchase-country by Klarna.
redirectParameters.additionalDetails.DescriptionOptional. Used by Klarna for storing merchant's internal order number or other reference. If set, will be shown on the Klarna confirmation page as "order number" and send to the customer in the confirmation mail after a successful direct bank transfer payment. It will also be included in the payments description in the customer's bank account (max 255 characters) when Klarna deducts the money.

Additionally this is used and displayed to the customer in the PXP Financial Checkout pages Header line. See Design a Merchant Custom Skin for more information.

Customer performs the payment in the PXP Financial Checkout page

After the customer was redirected to the PXP Financial Checkout page (and has selected the Klarna payment option), the available Klarna payment categories and methods will be displayed to the customer. The customer selects one, enters the details and confirms the payment.

Example Screenshot of the PXP Financial Checkout detail page for a Klarna Deposit payment:

1598

Example Screenshots of the PXP Financial Checkout detail page for each Klarna Deposit payment option:

972 1570 965

When the customer has confirmed the payment, the PXP system contacts the Klarna system and if applicable the customer is asked for additional data (e.g. the date of birth).

Example Screenshot of a Klarna Pop-up in PXP Financial Checkout:

Redirection back to merchant and notifications

Now, Klarna applies their risk checks and decides if the payment will be approved or refused.

  • If approved, the customer is redirected to the merchants successURL.
  • If declined/refused, the customer is redirected to the merchants errorURL.

Additionally a backend notification is sent to the merchant. This notification contains the following relevant information:

FieldValue
paymentMethodThe final PXP Financial Klarna payment method which was applied as selected by the customer.

Possible Values:
- Klarna Pay Now (370)
- Klarna Pay Later (371)
- Klarna Financing (372)
paymentIDThe ID of the payment in PXP Financial Payment Service. Needs to be stored in the merchant system and used for follow up payments like Captures and Refunds.
state.definitionSuccessful State: ExecutedByProvider (142)
Refused/Unsuccessful State: RefusedByProvider (100)

Other possible Error States which can happen. If a merchant wants those to be notified, this has to be requested via the Account Manager:
DuplicatePaymentValidationFailed - 369
RefusedByPaymentScoring - 121
InitiateRequestProviderCommunicationErrorOccurred - 325
InitiateErrorReportedByProvider - 4
ProviderResponseValidationFailed - 409
ExecuteErrorReportedByProvider - 143
ExecuteRequestSentToProviderCommunicationErrorOccured - 339

The Klarna Deposit payment is now successfully authorised by Klarna and has to be captured (or cancelled) by the merchant later. Further chapters of interest:

In case the merchant has activated the PXP Financial Checkout error handling feature, the customer will not be redirected to the Merchant-Error-URL in case Klarna refuses the payment but remain on PXP Checkout and can pick a different payment option to complete the payment.

The following data is returned in the initiatePaymentResponse:

FieldValue
paymentIDThe ID of the payment in the PXP Financial Payment Service. Should be stored by the merchant and used for future actions on this payment.
state.definitionMust be equal to InitiatedByProvider (3) for a successful payment initiation.
paymentStateDetails.ProviderTokenShould be used as client_token when initializing the JavaScript SDK from Klarna.
See Information how to Present the Klarna Widget
paymentStateDetails.ProviderSessionIDCan be used as session_id to update the session using the Klarna REST API.
See Information how to Present the Klarna Widget
paymentStateDetails.ProviderAdditionalResponseDataContains the available Klarna payment_method_categories and
represents what categories of payment methods that are available for this purchase. The payment_method_category is required when loading the Klarna widget.
See Information how to Present the Klarna Widget

Present the Klarna Widget

Using the information returned in the initiatePaymentResponse, the merchant now has to load the Klarna widget in the browser.
More information can be found in the Klarna documentation:

Klarna Documentation
Information how to Present the Klarna Widget
Documentation for Klarna JavaScript SDK
Styles/Layout which should be applied

Authorise and Finalize the Order

When the consumer has chosen a payment method and wants to complete the purchase, the merchant has to use Klarnas Javascript SDK to authorize the order.
More information can be found on Klarnas developer site: Authorise

If Klarna returns finalize_required: true, it also has to be finalized after it was authorised.
More information can be found on Klarnas developer site: Finalize

If Klarna returns approved: true, then Klarna has approved the authorization and also returns an authorization_token. This was the last step that the merchant has to do using Klarnas Javascript SDK.

The merchant can continue with the next step ("Confirm the payment") which is done against the PXP Financial System.

Confirm the payment

As a last step the Klarna payment needs to be confirmed with PXP Financial by using the executePaymentAction with actionID = 95030 (ExecutePayment).

The following parameters are mandatory have to be provided as well in the executePaymentAction call:

FieldValue
actionData.AuthorizationTokenThe authorization_token which was received from Klarna in the authorisation/finalization response.

The following relevant data is returned in the executePaymentActionResponse:

Final Payment Method

After the payment was confirmed with/accepted by Klarna, the payment method is changed to reflect the "real" (final) payment method in the PXP Financial Payment Service - depending on the customers choice.
This means, the initial payment method used for initiating the payment (Klarna Deposit, 369) is changed to the final method.

The table below shows which Klarna methods are mapped to which PXP Financial payment methods:

PXP Financial Payment MethodKlarna Payment Method
Klarna Pay Now Deposit (370)Pay Now
- Pay with direct debit (direct_debit)
- Pay with online bank transfer (direct_bank_transfer) = "Sofort" ("Sofortüberweisung")
Klarna Pay Later Deposit (371)Pay Later
- Invoice (Pay in 14 or 30 days) (invoice)
- Business-to-Business orders (b2b_invoice)
- Pay in X days (pix)
