Klarna Part Payment Campaign Specials

Dear OpenCart,

"Klarna Part Payment" module does not exist.
Our shop (version 1.5.5.1) resides at the Swedish host Loopia (http://loopia.se)
Loopia provides a one-click installer for the latest OpenCart (1.5.6) web shop, and this comes out of the box included with “Klarna Account” and “Klarna Invoice” payment modules.

As of now Klarna has offered all their customers (us) to be able to offer our customers a Christmas-Buy-Now-Pay-Later-Campaign.
Klarna gives us the instructions that this should be accomplished and activated through their “Klarna Part Payment” module – which does not exist in OpenCart any above versions!

Sadly I can not provide you with an English version of the instruction page that Klarna directs us to for activation instructions.
https://klarna.com/sv/campaign/christmas2013

Under the headline “Aktivera julkampanjen i din e-butik” there is a subnavigation to the left. A click on “OpenCart” will tell you (my translation)
1. Go to “Payments” and click on “Edit” for the “Klarna Part Payment” module.
2. Click on the button “Update Now”
3. The Christmas campaign is now visible as an additional way of payments under Klarna Account/Part Payment.
4. At campaign period end 2014-02-01, the day after you repeat step 1-2 to remove the payment option.
5. Use one of our banners to drive traffic to your site...

We contacted "A" at Klarna who said following:
(I translated but original thread is below)

“If I remember you use a newer version of OpenCart? With the new versions of OpenCart it is OpenCart themselves that develops the modules in consensus with us. And I am sorry to say that they did not implement campaign specials in their module.
I do not believe that they will prioritise or manage to get it done in time before Christmas, which is very regrettable. I brought this up earlier this autumn with them, as a point of improvement, but without success.”



Our problem, as the end user of OpenCart, is that we are stuck in the middle where both Klarna and Loopia blame “OpenCart”.
Can we get help?
Is it possible at all – for us – to be able to activate a Klaran Part Payment module with specials?
Is it possible at all to get this to work within a week or two???

Best regards

I have the same issus. It's really not good that Klarna does not develop a module that works with Opencart newer versions. Do you not want our business? It's not the Opencart community's responsibility to make it work - even tho they did make the payment solution avail in 1.5.6.

I have started to look for a new invoice partner.

This one works quick and easy: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=14495

I bought the vqmod mentioned in Wilcom's post.
It sure activates the Christmas special, but somehow it gets a Dutch translation. The title that should be: Osta nyt - maksa helmikuussa (buy now - pay in february (in finnish)), is now: Koop nu - Betaal in februari.

Any ideas anyone?

The problem was at Klarna's end. Made a temporary fix with help from nice people @ OpenCart.nu.
