Klarna launches in Poland at a time when ecommerce is rapidly developing. According to a survey commissioned by Klarna in Poland, 96% of the online population has made an online purchase during 2021 (this finding is consistent across all age groups, from 18-24 to 55-65), with 33% shopping online weekly and 59% saying they would only shop online if they had to choose. And there is a huge demand for being able to pay after delivery. 29% say they would have used “Pay later” for their latest purchase if available. While 3 in 4 (77%) know about the option, only 1 in 4 have tried. 7 in 10 (69%) would trust a retailer more if it offered a pay later solution and 62% believe they would return as a customer more often.
