I asked the Klarna rep and they were less than helpful . I want to check out but the merchant only has paypal as the only checkout method . I would like to use the ghost card to pay in bi-weekly payments . If this ghost card is hooked up to my paypal account, is this possible ?

So you create the card on klarna and have it made for PayPal though correct? Then add it to your PayPal method?

So what you do is go to the site through the klarna app like usual & do the checkout regularly and create a ghost card, then use that card that’s made for the store in the pay pal checkout after you either sign in or make an account just add it to payment. If klarna is saying that they can’t make the card because it seems like a “gift card” then you should proceed to create the card after signing in and checking out with the PayPal amount shown.

I’m still getting the error that it won’t work on gift cards even trying it to add it at the PayPal checkout. How did you manage to get it to work? I contacted klarna support and they didn’t know anything.

That didn't work for me. I've tried everything. I even had the seller send me an invoice and it's still not working.

No, you go to Klarna and make the card for the company who is sending you the invoice, and then you plug the card information in when you checkout on PayPal. I just did it. I wasn’t sure if it’d work because of the comments on here, but it did. I was able to do the 6mo financing on it also. I went to the website of the distributor I was wanting the card for, via Klarna when making the one time use card, then at the bottom it says Pay with Klarna and I hit that, made the card and everything, then exited, went to my PayPal invoice from my distributor and press pay, then on checkout I added a new card plugged in all the info for the one time use card and it worked. Approved and everything already and my distributor got the paid notification.

Yes, i’m assuming. I used a affirm one time use card to purchase through paypal. So i don’t see why klarna would be any different.
