Is Klarna down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Klarna right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Klarna continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are checkout or payment, can't log in, orders or tracking, can't connect, 5xx error pages and website / app down. Those are the options the report button offers for Klarna, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Klarna specifically, Klarna's checkout integration, authentication servers, payment processing pipeline, and account data services can fail independently. A retailer's site may load while Klarna's payment gateway is unreachable, or your account may be inaccessible while other customers' payments process normally. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Klarna, try adding an item to cart on a major Klarna partner (like Shopify or a large retailer) and attempt to select Klarna at checkout. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Klarna's side. Specifically: do not retry the payment multiple times, as each attempt may create duplicate payment requests or holds on your account. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Klarna publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Klarna itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.klarna.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Klarna's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Klarna or klarna.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Klarna's own support, not us.
