Extra Merchant Data (EMD) - Klarna

Klarna requires additional information regarding the customer and the purchase in order to make a correct risk assessment for certain businesses, including Intangible Goods, Online Education, and Marketplace. You can see additional details via Klarna's guide here . This information, called ‘Extra Merchant Data’ (EMD), may consist of data about the customer performing the transaction, the product/services associated with the transaction, or the seller and their affiliates. Klarna’s requirements are documented here.

If your businesses are in the relevant verticals, we typically require an EMD package for your integration and approval from Klarna before go-live. Please contact your Account Manager for EMD integration details.
