Swedish fintech company Klarna has announced the launch of a new search engine tool that enables users to evaluate and compare product costs before making purchases. In addition, the company also introduced 'shoppable video content,' a platform for creators using the app.
With the new tool, customers can compare prices, shipping choices, product sizes, and colors at numerous stores using the in-app browser provided by Klarna. According to the business, the technology will also hunt for and automatically apply discount deals to their orders.
"The new products revealed today mark a major milestone in Klarna’s evolution to becoming a place where consumers and retailers can now search, discover, and create. From inspiring product discovery all the way to delivery tracking, digital receipts and seamless returns," said Sebastian Siemiatkowski, co-founder and CEO of Klarna.
