How to set up Cross-sell in Centra using Klarna Checkout

The Cross-sell feature allows your customers to add extra products to the order in one click after checkout is completed. Note that this can be done without filling in the shipping address and payment details again.

How to set it up

To enable Klarna Cross-sell in Centra follow the steps below:

1. Go to 'System' > 'Stores'
2. Open your 'Retail' store
3. Scroll down to plugins and open the 'Klarna Checkout V3' plugin
4. Here you will be able to find the following two settings:
   • Cross-sell – Set to 'Yes' if you wish to enable the functionality
   • Cross-sell time limit (mins) – Decides the time in minutes before the Cross-sell offer expires in the checkout. Klarna is limited to a maximum of 20 minutes, the default is 3 minutes
     When the Cross-sell time limit runs out, Centra sends the Order Confirmation email to the customer, if the relevant setting for sending this email type is enabled (check your Store settings or your ESP plugin).

How to select Cross-sell products

You might wonder how to decide which products from your product catalog should be shown as Cross-sell products, and when. This is something your front end is in charge of. They fetch the product catalog from Centra and you decide together the best way to filter out the Cross-sell products. They could, for example, use product relations with a specific 'Cross-sell' tag, a custom attribute for Cross-sell, or a specific folder/category. The options are unlimited in getting Cross-sell products out via both our Checkout and Shop API.

How the Cross-sell flow works

When the purchase is completed, the consumer is notified via suitable messaging that more items can be added to the existing order. The benefit of this feature is that you could increase the average order value by offering customers relevant additional items they can purchase.

This Cross-sell window is available to the customer for a limited amount of time. If Cross-sell products are added to the basket, the original authorization will be changed accordingly.

Most common order flow in checkout

1. The customer places an order by adding items in the basket, proceeds to checkout and follows through with the payment step, where they choose Klarna checkout.
   For the Cross-sell to work it is important that the customer selects a payment option within the checkout that works with Cross-sell. For example, they cannot use the credit card option, but can instead select 'Pay later'.
2. As soon as they finalize the payment and reach the Order Confirmation page, a new section appears, such as ‘Don’t forget these’ or ‘Special offers’, showing the listed Cross-sell products
   This section is to be implemented by your frontend partner.
3. Customers can add Cross-sell products to the order post-purchase for a predefined amount of time (3 minutes by default, but can be changed in Plugin settings)
4. The customer adds one of the products listed in the Cross-sell section to the order, similar to how customers add products to the basket pre-checkout
5. An order confirmation email is sent after the Cross-sell time limit passes plus an additional minute. For example, if you set the Cross-sell time limit to 10 minutes, the order confirmation email will be sent after 11 minutes. Even though the order might be finalized after 2 minutes, the email will not be sent before 11 minutes have passed.

Which products can be added to an order

For Cross-sell products to work, the same rules apply as for other normal products to be buyable. So, for example, they need to have a display, be active in a market, have a price and so on. More details can be found here. The only exception is Flexible bundles, as they are not available for Cross-sell.

When a product already exists in the order and the same product is also added as a post-purchase Cross-sell product, the newly added Cross-sell product will appear as a separate order item line. Therefore, you will be able to distinguish between the original and the Cross-sell product.

Example of an order with a Cross-sell product in Centra

The most important sections to pay attention to on an order containing Cross-sell products are: Ordered products, Payment information and Order history. Read more about each below:

Ordered products

Cross-sell products that were added to an order through this feature are displayed in the ‘Order products’ section as additional order item lines:

Payment information

Previous auth transactions are ‘deprecated’ and marked with the suffix ’-old’. Centra then creates a new auth transaction looking like this:

Order history

The Order history section contains data about the order total being changed with the cross-sold product value:

Example of order with a failed Cross-sell transaction

In cases where the Cross-sell transaction fails, Centra:

• Reverts the Order to its previous state before Cross-sell products were added
• Logs the failed transaction
• Logs data in the Order history section
• The Order Receipt email is sent after the Cross-sell time out limit is over. This means that only the original products are listed in the email without the Cross-sell products
  The previous successful transaction remains active and can be captured as usual.

How Cross-sell interacts with other parts of Centra

1. Any product can be offered as a Cross-sell product except for Flexible bundles
2. Vouchers
   • The discount is applied in the selection and remains connected to the products in the initial order when a Cross-sell product is added to the order later on. However, the discount is not applied to the Cross-sell products and is not updated in the order after adding Cross-sell products
3. Campaigns
   • The discount is applied in the selection and remains connected to the original order when a Cross-sell product is added to the order
   • The discount is applied to the Cross-sell products just like to any other product. For example, product X belongs to an active campaign and it is added to the order as the Cross-sell product price will be dictated by the campaign
4. Taxes
   • They are applied to Cross-sell products based on the tax settings in Centra, the same way as for the initial order
5. Shipping costs
   • Shipping is calculated only at the time of order creation. So the shipping cost is not changed when a Cross-sell product is added
   • Example: Let's say that the shipping configuration dictates that orders below 150 SEK have a shipping fee of 20 SEK, and above 150 SEK the shipping is free. If I buy an item for 100 SEK, the shipping cost is 20 SEK. I then add an item to the order via Cross-sell that increases the order total to more than 150 SEK. In this case, the shipping cost will not change, since only the original shipping cost stays on the order
6. Visibility of Cross-sell order items in Centra
   • In Centra, the order items added through Cross-sell are tagged to be able to distinguish it from other order items. So we are separating Cross-sell order items from the rest of the items.
