Lots of times when I’ve been buying things in e-shops I’ve been offered to pay using Klarna as a payment broker.

But doing so has always been more confusing for me compared to “regular” payments with a credit card anywhere else, and has on overall been a negative experience for me.

I really don’t understand why anyone would prefer to use them at all.

What am I missing? Can anyone help me understand?

Same experience here. I assume it works better in Sweden, but I have no idea why someone with customers outside Sweden would want to use this.

One e-shop I use regularly switched to Klarna and the whole checkout experience got much worse. Simple forms replaced by broken interactive ones, etc. It's still not better than the old UX, even after multiple iterations. I'm more reluctant to enter CC info than before, for what that's worth.
