Handling Klarna disputes

A dispute is when you and a customer disagree about an order:

• Goods, e.g. the customer returns all or part of the order, or the goods were faulty when delivered
• Payments, e.g. invoicing errors, or the customer paid Klarna instead of you
• Other, e.g. insolvency, or bankruptcy

Klarna provides support for resolving disputes. For a step-by-step overview, see Klarna – How to handle disputes at Klarna.

The easiest way to handle disputes is using the Disputes app in the Klarna Merchant Portal. The portal also gives you an overview of all your orders.

You’ll receive an email from Klarna inviting you to activate your portal account.

1. In the email, click Activate account.
2. Read the Merchant Portal Agreement, agree to the terms and conditions, and then click Continue.
3. Enter a password, and click Update password.
4. Enter your first and last names, and then click Update profile.
