New at Shore: Let Your Customers Pay with Klarna

Every salon, studio, and small business knows the feeling: your booking calendar is full and appointments are in demand — but when it comes time to pay, some customers hesitate. For higher-ticket services like luxury beauty treatments, bridal appointments, or wellness packages, paying the full amount upfront can be a real dealbreaker. 

And you shouldn't have to wait for your money or chase down payments. 

With Shore Pay Online, you can now offer Klarna as a payment option — right at the point of online booking. 

What's New? 

Shore Pay Online now supports Klarna as a payment method for online bookings. 

When booking online, your customers can choose how they want to pay. Available options include: 

• Pay now 
• Pay later 
• Pay in installments 

The result: more flexibility for your customers — and you still get paid reliably every time. 

Why Klarna is a Game-Changer 

Payment habits are evolving fast. Customers today expect flexibility — especially when a service comes with a higher price tag: a premium treatment package, a special occasion appointment, a multi-hour wellness experience. 

Klarna is one of the world's leading Buy Now, Pay Later platforms, trusted by millions of shoppers globally. The idea is simple: customers book now and pay later, or split the cost into installments. When customers feel confident about how they're paying, they're far more likely to follow through on a booking. 

Buy Now, Pay Later — and Why It Matters for Your Business 

BNPL isn't a trend anymore — it's an expectation. Customers across all age groups, especially younger ones, look for this option the same way they once looked for credit card support. The data backs it up: businesses offering BNPL consistently see fewer abandoned checkouts and higher average order values. 

For salons, studios, and small businesses, this is a big deal. Someone booking a high-end treatment, a full styling package, or a consultation-heavy appointment might think twice before paying the full amount upfront. With Klarna, that hesitation disappears. The appointment gets booked — and how it's paid for is sorted out afterward. Your premium services become easier to book without changing your pricing. 

More Freedom for Your Customers 

Not everyone wants to pay the full amount at the time of booking. With Klarna, customers choose what works for them: 

• Pay now 
• Pay later 
• Split the payment 

For higher-priced appointments, this removes the friction that stops customers from booking in the first place. Instead of hesitating or dropping off, they lock in their spot right away — and figure out payments on their own terms. 

For beauty businesses, hair salons, or retailers with high-value services, the impact is real: customers without a payment barrier book more often and are more likely to go for the premium option. 

Zero Risk for Your Business 

Fair question: what happens if a customer doesn't pay Klarna? 

Simple answer: that's not your problem. Klarna owns the entire payment process — including the risk of non-payment. Once a transaction is confirmed, you get paid. Whatever happens between Klarna and the customer afterward is entirely on Klarna. 

In practice, that means: 

• No chasing customers for payment 
• No managing installment plans 
• No financial risk if someone doesn't pay 

You deliver the service. Klarna handles the rest. 

How Klarna Fits Into Your Booking Flow 

Klarna is built directly into the Shore booking process. Nothing changes significantly in your daily operations. You can activate it via your Shore Pay Online settings.

Your customers will see Klarna as one of the available payment options when booking online. If they choose it, everything runs automatically in the background. Appointments, payments, and invoices show up in your calendar as usual — all in one place, no manual work needed. 

More payment flexibility means more completed bookings, happier customers, and less work on your end. Try it out — and see the difference for yourself.
