UK footwear retailer schuh has announced a partnership with European payments provider Klarna which will allow shoppers to use the Swedish firm’s checkout solution and pay after delivery service.

When checking out online, schuh customers will now be able to buy products by simply entering their email and delivery address, rather than having to provide complicated log-in information and credit or debit card details. Customers will also have the option to use Klarna’s pay after delivery solution to pay for their products after they have been delivered.

schuh is the latest retailer to partner with Klarna, following the business’ launch with retail giants Lyst and Arcadia last year.

Sean McKee, director of e-commerce and customer experience at schuh, said: “With more customers shopping on mobile than ever before, making the payments process as painless and easy as possible continues to be a priority. We have already seen an impressive uplift in conversions using Klarna Checkout - boosting sales while reducing friction for our important online shoppers.”

Luke Griffiths, UK general manager of Klarna, added: “Long and complex checkout processes are frustrating for the consumer, and are one of the main reasons behind dropped baskets at checkout. But by making the online payments process simple, smooth and safe for the consumer, retailers can benefit from increased loyalty and sales. We’re thrilled to be partnering with schuh and bringing our simple payments solution to even more online shoppers in the UK”.
