Verified steps

  1. POST /v1/payment_intents with payment_method_types=["klarna"], amount, currency (must be supported by Klarna for the customer's country, e.g. usd, eur, gbp, sek), and confirm=false initially
  2. Create the PaymentMethod separately via POST /v1/payment_methods with type=klarna and billing_details.address.country set to the customer's country (required for Klarna)
  3. Confirm the PaymentIntent via POST /v1/payment_intents/<id>/confirm with payment_method=<pm_id> and return_url pointing to your post-payment page
  4. The confirmation returns a next_action.type=redirect_to_url; redirect the customer to next_action.redirect_to_url.url to complete Klarna's buy-now-pay-later selection and authentication flow
  5. After the customer returns to return_url, retrieve the PaymentIntent and check status; status=succeeded means payment is captured; for Klarna, capture is typically automatic
