There are some differences between Sofort and Klarna Pay Now: Sofort offers online banking and a lower fee. However, Sofort chargebacks are at your own risk and you cannot defend against them; KlarnaPay Now offers direct debit and online banking. This is a guaranteed setup, meaning Klarna takes the risk on these payments. This comes with a higher fee.
