Klarna for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Version 4.5.0 is absolute rubbish and should never have been released to the repository. Compatibility with WordPress 6.9 is supposedly “100%” according to the author – yeah, sure. Was this even tested? It is Friday evening and, thanks to this mess, I had to investigate the issue for a customer instead of having a pint in the pub.

   the plugin works but:1. translations / internationalisation is barely there, many buttons cannot be translated 2. it adds a s**t load to the checkout for no real purpose 3. you need a 2nd plugin for sync of order status… besides that, it’s OK.

   First of all, Klarna is already integrated into Woopayments, so this plugin is unnecessary, unless you want to waste your time and get insulted by the Klarna “onboarding team”. In just three interactions they succeeded in lying, lying again, calling me a liar and fraud. Even if you give them proof that something they claim is wrong they won’t change, and they won’t even check it out. And don’t bother using their chat, it is just AI posing as a human. Their phone support is also useless. You are stuck with mail.

   While I consider the plugin itself to be at best of mediocre quality (at least in the current state of development) the support has been very quick and helpful. I hope in the future the plugin matches their excellent support! Special thanks to Louise and Andreas! They have been very helpful!

   The plugin offers pay later (invoice), which can’t be disabled. Thus the plugin is worthless to us. We wont send out orders without payment and deal with customers payments and delays, because Klarna forces us to offer this payment method! This topic was modified 2 years ago by 35mmd.

   Pessimo. il 90% degli ordini vengono persi. Una buona percentuale può riguardare ovviamente il processo del cliente, ma quando vedi 7/8 ordini annullati al giorno su 8/9 che utilizzano klarna, ti brucia parecchio. Installati 3 PLUGIN DIVERSI PER FUNZIONARE CON TUTTI I SERVIZI. Assistenze non all’altezza, non risolvono il problema e sia per krokedil che per klarna è “tutto ok”. Per le commissioni che prende il servizio è totalmente inadeguato. Passerò quanto prima ad un altro metodo di pagamento rateale
