Re: Payment plugin for Klarna

When was the last time they were contacted? Do you have any relevant information I can use to get in contact with them?
Also please send me the latest version of the code.

Thank you for your answer.

I am in contact with Klarna and have a guy from Sweden that talks directly with Klarna (they are Swedish). He will hold them to there word that they will help you as much as possible.
I would like to help you complete the plugin, as we urgently need the plugin! Hopefully within a few weeks.

Klarna has mentioned that the main reason for them not having "helped" much is that they see (as wee do) the plugin as incomplete. They need a sort of wallet (checkout) solution as well. This feature is why Klarna is the "one and only" in Sweden. They can explain this better than I can.

I can however say some facts that should interest both parties to complete this plugin. In Sweden almost 100 % of all transactions is by Klarna! The reason for this is the mentioned feature they are missing. So if you want Hikashop to be used by Sweden you will have to make this work! Klarna wrongfully thinks Virtuemart still is the main shop solution - I would like to prove them wrong with your help!

What is your contact email, that I should add to the email correspondence with them and me?

Please send me you mail?! I am direct contact with the person from Klarna who all ready has been briefed to look into this matter (by Klarna bosses them selves). He is waiting for my mail with your contact information and information about the problem.

I am sad to hear that it will not be done within a short time frame - we were hoping a few weeks. You are close to finished you say and example from Virtuemart exists. And now Klarna is willing to help (provided that you just give me the mail to contact you with).

Hi Jerome

How did the meeting go?
Was there discussed a plan?
Was there discussed a timeline?
Has it been decided if the missing feature is going to be added?

Have a great weekend

Hi

Thanks for you update. Will the missing feature be added?
When are the two next releases you mention? We need to figure out if we can wait as the customer wants the shop up and running, and don't understand why we don't just use Virtuemart or RedShop as they both have plugins.

Ok
In that case (months) they will properly chose another Joomla webshop, that has the integration and the missing feature
As mentioned there time line is weeks (a month at the most).

Can I please get a quick update in this plugin. I know that you started working on it, and have been in contact with the person from Klarna we had put on the case to work with you.

1. What is the status?
2. When will the first version be ready (ans shipped with Hikashop)?
3. Will the plugin handle only payment or will it also handle the much/most needed checkout feature and billing option?

Thanks for your reply.

What about the checkout feature?
This is the things that drives the need for the Klarna plugin in the Scandinavian countries. If this feature is not there, there are other and more cheap solutions most webshop owners will use.

Yes without the checkout feature of Klarna it is pretty numb and useless to most web shops.
As I have said before there is a competitor named Svea Finans a strong competitor with exactly the same featues as Klarna and their plugin has a good documentation on how to implement it with different shop platforms. I have also bee talking to developers regarding making it ready for HikaShop and that would cost something like USD 300. That would of course be good but when HkaShop is upgraded what will happen then?
Would HikaShop be interested in that plugin if I paid a developer for doing it?

It seems like Klarna is unresponsible here, actually no surprise to me.
Now finally I have a guy working with the making of a plugin or plugins in order to make Svea Webpay integrated with HikaShop. It took a while since my first client didn't want that payment options. Now I have more projects needing it so soon it should be up and running.
The backside though is that I of course have to pay this myself and if someone else wants it I can offer it but not for free...
So if you're interested send me a PM.
