Klarna (www.klarna.com), one of the world’s most innovative payment providers, is partnering with GhostBed (www.ghostbed.com), a leading online mattress e-tailer, to provide an instant financing solution for GhostBed customers.
Made in America and purchased via the website, GhostBed prices are among the most competitive in the mattress in a box space, starting at $495. The full product line features complimentary items that complete the sleep experience, including an all-wood foundation and the popular real-time cooling GhostPillow.
At checkout, GhostBed customers now have additional options which have been seamlessly integrated into the e-tailer’s checkout system. In addition to using a credit or debit card, they can choose from two Klarna financing options—planned payments over six to 18 month periods with a special promotional rate, or flexible month-to- month payments.
“Our customers have come to appreciate and expect exceptional products and service from GhostBed, and our integration of these Klarna flexible payment options extends our commitment into the payment process,” said Marc Werner, founder and CEO, GhostBed.
“Great online shopping is about a hassle-free experience, and Klarna helps us eliminate some of the friction of purchasing mattresses and accessories.”
Financing a purchase has historically been optimized for brick and mortar stores. The online equivalent, however, can often be an ordeal, with redirects, lengthy forms and unclear information. Klarna’s process only requires a few fields of information, and lets customers know instantly if they qualify for the financing solution.
“We’re glad to partner with GhostBed and help provide more payment choices for its loyal customers,” said Brian Billingsley, CEO, Klarna North America. “Many of our merchant partners realize a significant lift in sales after implementing our financing options into their checkout operations. We look forward to a great partnership with this successful and entrepreneurial company.”
