Everything You Need To Know About The Shopping App That's Having A *Moment*

Though we've always loved shopping for our favorite brands online, we've had plenty of time to perfect our techniques over the past few months. Whether you've become an expert at curating looks from your couch or remain an online shopping newbie, there are likely some issues you can't seem to crack: endless tabs and bookmarks, items going on sale just days after a purchase, lost tracking numbers, and more. If this sounds familiar and you're looking for ways to streamline your online shopping experience, don't worry — there are options.

We know it might sound too good to be true, but after exploring a range of plug-ins, apps, and browser extensions, it's fair to say we've discovered the best new way to shop on your own terms this summer: Klarna. Whether you're looking to discover new shopping destinations, save with exclusive discounts, create shareable wish lists, or pay in installments, the app (which is totally free to download) comes with all of these perks and is super-intuitive to use.

Klarna's app is like your very own personal shopper that makes online shopping totally seamless, from discovering new brands and deals to offering flexible payment options and convenient post-purchase features. Even if you're familiar with Klarna as a "shop now, pay later" app, the company offers so much more.

Here are just a few reasons why we're using Klarna and never going back:

You Can Discover New Brands & Create Shareable Wish Lists

From Black-owned businesses like Coco & Breezy to up-and-coming beauty brands like aha, uncover your new favorite destinations right from the app homepage. Through expertly curated wish lists (and the ability to build your own), you can discover, save, and share all in one place — no more flooding the group chat with links for a second opinion.

You Have The Option To "Pay In 4" Anywhere You Shop

Whether you're refurnishing your apartment, investing in a new laptop, or stocking up on gear for an upcoming camping trip, Klarna lets you pay in four installments over the course of eight weeks wherever you're making a purchase. With the Klarna app, you're given the flexibility of paying off your order over time, totally interest-free, making investing in pieces you truly want (and will keep for a lifetime) so much more feasible. If "buying less but better" is a goal of yours, but you don't always have the funds to do so, we're right there with you — and so is Klarna.

You'll Unlock Deals & Drops

With Klarna, you can rest assured that you're getting the best price possible on every purchase you make. Once the app knows what items or brands you have your eye on, you can opt-in to receive price drop notifications and deal alerts. (You can thank us later.)

You Can Track Everything In One Place

If you're awaiting a few orders, Klarna keeps all of your tracking information in one place. With a dedicated in-app status page, you can keep an eye on your orders from multiple retailers without ever leaving the app — no more copy-and-pasting or hopping between different sites to track your latest natural beauty pickup and summer sleepwear splurge.
