> First, c'mon, people don't (directly) finance sandwiches. Have you ever seen a sandwich shop accept Klarna? If you're talking about a credit card that's something but that's not what this article is talking about, which is BNPL.
In the UK, Deliveroo (a food delivery company) will let you pay by Klarna for orders >= £30, including from sandwich shops. Here's the press release: https://www.klarna.com/international/press/deliveroo-and-klarna-partner-to-offer-smooth-flexible-payments-whether-you-pay-now-or-pay-later/ https://www.klarna.com/international/press/deliveroo-and-kla...

- Ultimatt 4y agoKlarna does more than just BNPL loans though, they do normal credit too.
- desas 4y agoCopied and pasted directly from the link I gave: Deliveroo customers will see Klarna as an additional payment option when they arrive at check-out, where they’ll be able to choose one of three payment options: Pay Now, to pay the full amount immediately; Pay in 30, to pay the full amount within 30 days; and Pay in 3, to pay in three equal installments, spread over 60 days.
- Arnt 4y agoPaypal offers me a pay-later option, apparently no matter how small the amount is or what I'm paying for. Sometimes two options (pay everything next month + pay in instalments). Or perhaps it's alwys two? I haven't really paid attention. The next-month option is free (for me) anyway. I assumed that the risk of a one-month loan is low for Paypal and worthwhile because it takes a few transactions from the other payment processors usually offered by the same webshop. But that's just an assumption.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoPretty much all the food delivery apps take Klarna now it seems. Never tried it, I won't touch Klarna with someone else's bargepole, but it is a thing and its fucking silly.
