The widget rotates through a selection of shoppers’ most relevant items and saved products based on price updates, with the aim of ensuring customers do not miss out on an opportunity.

Daniel Lange, Senior Product Director at Klarna, said: “With online shopping becoming the new norm and as people prepare for the upcoming holiday season, the Klarna app can play an integral role in simplifying this busy shopping period. With these new features, we want shoppers to feel in control while getting access to all of the best products and brands in a simple and tailored way, all from the comfort of home.”

The announcement comes as most holiday shopping is expected to be online this year, due to country-wide lockdowns causing many to stay at home.

The feature launched alongside new curated holiday Wish Lists, deals and content to help shoppers buy gifts during the holiday season. In addition, the widget is available in three different sizes and is an extension of the Klarna app.
