Klarna Payment Plugin
The plugin integrates the Klarna checkout with J2Store joomla shopping cart. The Klarna checkout is the newest offering by the Klarna gateway.
Klarna Checkout is available in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany at the moment. To get started with Klarna Checkout you will need a separate EID and Shared secret. Your credentials from using Klarna Invoice/Account will NOT work.
