Adding Klarna Pay now to Virtuemart
We wanted to make it possible for you our clients to be able to activate Klarna Pay now in your Mollie account so you can allow your customers to pay for their one-time purchases directly, via bank transfer or direct debit with the cciDEAL.
We added it to cciDEAL version 6.0.4.
But do take in consideration that Klarna Pay Now by Direct Debit is not available in Belgium & Finland.
Consult below for your convenience:
Starting with cciDEAL 5.0 (for select customers) it’s possible to add Klara Pay now to Virtuemart (with Mollie). Follow the below steps to set this up.
Mollie account
- Go to the Mollie dashboard > Settings > Website profiles > Select the correct profile > Payment methods
- Enable Klarna Pay Now as a payment method
- As soon as Mollie confirms that Klarna Pay Now is enabled for your account, continue with the setup in cciDEAL

About order statuses
Orders that are Authorized and Paid at Mollie are “paid” in cciDEAL and the corresponding status in Virtuemart. Note: in order to
ultimately receive your money, you must change the status of the order to Shipped in the Mollie dashboard, after you actually shipped
the order.
Why does Klarna refuse an order?
You only see that a payment has been rejected. You can only ask Klarna in general terms whether there is something structural. It often takes a while before you receive a substantive answer from Klarna.
