Looking to offer Klarna at checkout in your physical store?
If you’re using Shopify POS, you’ve likely noticed there’s no built-in way to accept Klarna or other Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services at the counter—unless you invest in extra hardware or workarounds.

SensePass offers a smarter, hardware-free way to enable Klarna (and 100+ other payment methods) directly in your store, using QR code or NFC tag technology.

🚫 The Problem: Shopify POS Doesn’t Natively Support Klarna In-Store

While Klarna is available online as a payment option, Shopify POS doesn’t include Klarna as an in-store payment method. For retailers, this means:

• Missed conversion opportunities at the point of sale

• Inability to offer BNPL to walk-in customers

• Dependence on traditional card-only checkout

• Additional hardware or custom dev work to add Klarna

This limits customer choice—and often drives them to competitors who support flexible in-store payments.

✅ The Solution: SensePass + Klarna on Shopify POS

SensePass connects Klarna to Shopify POS with no new hardware, no app downloads, and no developer lift.

Using a universal NFC tag or QR code, customers can pay with Klarna directly from their mobile phone, right at the register. The transaction syncs with Shopify POS as if it were any other payment method.

🔧 Step-by-Step: How to Accept Klarna on Shopify POS with SensePass

Here’s how to set up Klarna in just a few steps:

1. Get Access to Shopify & Shopify POS

Make sure you have admin access to:

• Your Shopify web store

• Shopify POS app installed on the store’s device

2. Install the SensePass App from the Shopify App Store

• Search for “SensePass” in the Shopify App Store

• Click Add app and complete the installation

• Approve permissions to link your Shopify account with SensePass

3. Activate Your Store and POS Location in SensePass

• Log in to your SensePass merchant portal

• Register your store and assign it to the correct POS location

• Name your physical checkout stations (e.g., Front Desk, Register 2)

4. Pair Your Universal SensePass Tag (QR/NFC)

• Stick the SensePass tag at the checkout

• Scan the QR code on the tag via the SensePass admin to pair it with the Shopify POS station

Now this tag will work for Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, PayPal, and more.

5. Customer Checkout Experience

• The cashier selects “SensePass” as the payment type in Shopify POS

• The customer taps or scans the SensePass tag

• Klarna opens automatically on their phone—no app or login needed

• Once approved, payment is confirmed in Shopify POS in real time
