Klarna is available at checkout on Uniplaces. You can pay in one instalment or split your payment depending on your Klarna plan and country.
What is Klarna?
Klarna is a payment service that gives you flexible options at checkout — pay now in full, or split the payment across multiple instalments. It’s widely used across Europe and is available as a payment method on Uniplaces for eligible bookings.
Klarna is a separate service from Uniplaces — you’ll need an active Klarna account or be eligible to create one at checkout. Klarna’s own terms and eligibility criteria apply in addition to Uniplaces’ booking terms.
How to pay with Klarna on Uniplaces
At checkout on Uniplaces, follow these steps to pay with Klarna:
- Complete your booking request as normal — select your listing, dates and personal details
- On the payment page, select Klarna as your payment method
- Choose your preferred Klarna option — pay now, pay later, or pay in instalments
- Complete the Klarna authorisation flow — you may be asked to log in to Klarna or verify your identity
- Return to Uniplaces to confirm your booking request
Klarna payment options
The options available to you depend on your country and your Klarna account status. Common options include:
- Pay now — the full amount is charged immediately from your linked bank account or card
- Pay later — you receive the goods or service first and pay within a set number of days
- Pay in instalments — the total is split across several monthly payments
Not all options are available in all countries. Klarna’s availability and payment plans vary by market — check the Klarna website for details on what’s available in your country.
What if my Klarna payment fails?
If your Klarna payment is declined, first check your Klarna account for any outstanding balances or issues. Klarna may decline a payment if your account has unpaid amounts or if you’ve reached your spending limit.
If the issue isn’t resolved through Klarna directly, try a different payment method at checkout — a credit or debit card will work as an alternative. For further help, contact the Uniplaces support team.
Is Klarna available in all countries?
Klarna is available in most European countries, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. However, availability at checkout depends on both your country and your Klarna account eligibility. If Klarna doesn’t appear as an option at checkout, it may not be available for your booking or location. [VERIFY: confirm full list of countries where Klarna is available on Uniplaces]
Frequently asked questions
Does using Klarna affect when the landlord gets paid?
No — the landlord’s payment timeline is not affected by your choice of payment method. Uniplaces always transfers the first month’s rent to the landlord 24 hours after your move-in date, regardless of whether you paid with Klarna or a card.
Can I switch from Klarna to a card after booking?
Once a booking is confirmed and payment is processed, the payment method cannot be changed. For future bookings, you can select a different payment method at checkout.
Is Klarna safe to use on Uniplaces?
Yes — Klarna is a regulated payment service and all transactions through Klarna on Uniplaces are processed securely. Your Klarna payment details are handled by Klarna directly and are not shared with Uniplaces or the landlord.
What happens to my Klarna plan if I cancel my booking?
If you cancel a confirmed booking and receive a refund, Klarna will update your payment plan accordingly. The refund timeline depends on both the Uniplaces cancellation policy and Klarna’s processing time. Contact Klarna directly for questions about your specific plan.
