Why I don’t offer a ‘Pay Later’ option in my webshops

That’s not me, but I am surprised…

Because I sell fucking stickers, T-shirts, and greeting cards. You don’t sell that kind of stuff to people who can’t pay for it right now.

Fucking Klarna

My payment provider is Mollie. Ssuddenly, out of the blue, Klarna was activated on my account. And BAM — people could pay later for their fucking stickers. Luckily I was able to disable it easily, and Klarna removed my data.

I genuinely don’t understand how this has become a normal thing in our society. And that entrepreneurs offer it in their webshops without blinking. Think beyond your bank account and make ethical decisions.
