Code examples

Please note that you can find more code examples in our API-files which you will find under Download API in the left menu.

Code examples for php are not yet available, they will be added shortly.
The code examples have been divided into several steps. Click on the step you would like to see the code example.
1. Initialize and setup the Klarna instance
            API klarna = new API ();

            /** Configure the Klarna object **/
            klarna.Config (new KlarnaConfig () {
                EID = 123456,
                Secret = "sharedsecret",
                Country = API.Country.Sweden,
                Language = API.Language.Swedish,
                Currency = API.Currency.SEK,
                Encoding = API.Encoding.Swedish,
            // API.KlarnaServer.Beta or API.KlarnaServer.Live, depending
            // on which server your eid is associated with
                Mode = API.KlarnaServer.Beta,
                PCStorage = "xml",
                PCURI = @"/tmp/pclasses.xml"
            });
2. Check if the customer has a Klarna Account
            try {
                if (klarna.HasAccount ("410321-9202", API.Encoding.Swedish)) {
                    Console.WriteLine ("Customer has a Klarna Account");
                } else {
                    Console.WriteLine ("Customer does not have a Klarna Account");
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                //Something went wrong, print the error:
                Console.WriteLine ("Error: " + e.Message);
            }
Code examples for java can be found in the example files contained in the api.
