Klarna has partnered with Bolt to bring flexible one-click payments to 80 million shoppers in the United States.
The collaboration will see Klarna’s payment options integrated directly into Bolt’s CheckoutOS, giving shoppers a seamless way to pay while helping merchants boost engagement and loyalty.
As demand grows for flexible payment options tailored to customer needs, the partnership will allow retailers using Bolt to offer Klarna’s payment methods directly at checkout without lengthy integration processes. This aims to help retailers strengthen relationships with customers while supporting repeat purchases through convenient checkout experiences.
Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow said, “Bolt merchants need powerful tools that help them capture consumer spend. By embedding Klarna natively, we’re giving every merchant—from emerging brands to enterprise-scale retailers—a turnkey way to offer flexible payments, without lengthy contracts or approval processes. We’re excited for our network of 80 million shoppers to discover the simplicity of one-click checkout paired with Klarna’s flexible payment options.”
Under the partnership, Klarna will be featured as the preferred payment option across Bolt-powered sites. Merchants will have the ability to offer Klarna’s Pay in 4, allowing customers to split purchases into four instalments, as well as longer-term financing options for higher-value purchases.
The integration will not require additional contracts or technical implementation for merchants, as Klarna’s services are pre-built into Bolt’s platform.
Consumers using Klarna on Bolt-powered stores will experience a one-click checkout, merging identity, payment choice and transaction speed in a single step. Bolt has reported that shoppers using its platform convert at rates 50% higher and are 15% more likely to return compared to those using guest checkout.
The first phase of the integration is set to launch in the US later this year, with plans to expand into additional verticals and markets globally as the partnership grows.
