Klarna to bring flexible payments to Google Search and Gemini app
Summary
Klarna will make its flexible payment options available in Google Search and the Gemini app via Google Pay in the US. Shoppers using these Google surfaces will see a Klarna button at checkout and can choose pay-in-4 interest-free instalments or longer-term financing, each subject to an affordability check. The integration is built into Google Pay using Google's Universal Commerce Protocol so customers complete payment without leaving the search or conversational shopping experience. Klarna positions the move as enabling payments for AI-driven commerce, following prior integrations that brought its offerings into AI agent shopping flows. Klarna says it serves more than 118 million customers and processes roughly 3.4 million transactions daily.
