Klarna FAQ

You asked, we listened. Introducing our latest recruit – trailblazing payment gateway, Klarna. Thanks to this innovative payment solution you can now spread out the cost of purchases placed online at Aphrodite. Granting wider access to your favourite designer brands and collections, Klarna ensures that you'll never miss a highly anticipated launch again while simultaneously keeping tabs on your budget.

Essentially letting customers try before they officially commit to buying, Klarna provides two smooth, simple checkout options, each of which delays your payment to a future date. Please see these options explained below:

Pay later with Klarna

If payday feels like a distant memory and you need to retain cash for other necessities this month, Klarna’s pay later option can help to bridge the gap until the next. If you’ve had your eye on one of our new arrivals and would like to secure your size while it’s available, simply navigate to the checkout and select pay later with Klarna. When your pay-later request is accepted, Klarna will immediately follow up with payment instructions via email – you can also download their easy-to-use app to keep track of your purchase. All orders placed under Klarna’s pay later scheme must be paid within 30 days of the item/items being dispatched unless returned to Aphrodite for the purpose of a refund [within the company timescale] in which case your order will be updated.

Pay in 3 instalments with Klarna

With Klarna’s instalment scheme, all items are paid off over the course of 3 months, this is particularly helpful when you’re opting to purchase investment pieces. For instance, that versatile winter jacket that’s imperative for the upcoming season – simply splice the total into 3 equal payments and avoid breaking the bank. At the time of purchasing, your 1st payment will be deducted from the credit or debit card provided, with 2 further instalments cleared over the next 2 months. If purchased items are unsuitable and returned to Aphrodite [within the company timescale], your payment/payments will be refunded to your original payment method and your order updated accordingly.

There are no added fees when you pay on time & no interest with both options – just clear your balance within the chosen timescale.
