User Testimonials
	Klarna Checkout	Spree
Likelihood to Recommend	Klarna To get a flexible set of payment options quickly provisioned on your online store, Klarna is ideal. They offer the usual payment options and also additional buy now pay later options which give the customer a full selection of choices. With Klarna you can do one integration and get access to all of these. Incentivized FM Frank Mair Technical Specialist Read full review	Spree Commerce Spree is a great solution if you have a highly customized business idea and need a very robust eCommerce solution to support your very creative and detailed sales methods. Because it's an open source platform, there are a ton of ways that his platform can be customized to meet virtually any business idea that you can dream up. With that said, the platform requires dedicated development support to make sure everything is stable and supported at all times.

Pros	Klarna Flexible payment option. Easy to navigate the back end. Nikki Hansen Founder Read full review	Spree Commerce Quick and easy access, nice interface when logging in. Access to customer's info, easy to change user names and passwords when issues arise with login. Easy to use for the most part - a lot of ways to search for information regarding customer's info. Incentivized Colin Darcy Dealer Services Manager (Canada) and Eastern United States Read full review
Cons	Klarna Some Magento integration needs extra customisation Account setup can take time Able to configure your own offers via the dashboard Incentivized FM Frank Mair Technical Specialist Read full review	Spree Commerce For the ATS portion, ability to download applicants would be helpful We have to use our developers to change some simple things on the web format Incentivized Aurora Dolan People Operations Strategist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Klarna Klarna have the most advanced and comprehensive solution which includes buy now pay later. Incentivized FM Frank Mair Technical Specialist Read full review	Spree Commerce I don't want to knock other products but let's say that the more famous shopping carts, although they have great functionality off the peg, are limited in terms of branding ability and further customisation. Invariably you get a site which looks and feels like many others. This will suit many companies as a low cost option which is very competent. However the fully customisable front end that we need, and will continue to develop, is not possible with these turn-key solutions. Incentivized Cameron Read Co-Founder Read full review
Return on Investment	Klarna They take a fee, larger than other systems do, so I do lose some money there. I make more sales than I would without the payment option through Klarna.
