Klarna says its sales increase as a growing number of shops offer buy now, pay later (BNPL) and other financing options. The company links the rise to wider availability of its payment products across retail partners, which encourages more customers to use Klarna at checkout.

At the same time, The Independent reports that Klarna downgrades its outlook for the second half, pointing to uncertainty ahead. The outlet also notes that Klarna’s share price has recently fallen, which contributes to the more cautious forward-looking stance. While the sources agree on the sales momentum, they differ on emphasis: one focuses on growth tied to retailer adoption, while the other highlights a tempered forecast and market pressure.
