What our merchants say.

"We have evaluated the first two weeks of our shopping campaigns running on Klarna Comparison Shopping Service and the results look great so far! We could clearly see CPCs going down so we were able to increase traffic at our given budget with a stable ROAS. We are therefore eager to switch other accounts to Klarna."
