How to Buy Amazon Gift Cards with Klarna in Europe

How Klarna Works for Amazon Purchases

Amazon does not accept Klarna as a direct payment method at any of its European storefronts, including Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, and Amazon.nl. The checkout page lists credit and debit cards, bank transfers, and Amazon's own balance products as the accepted options. Klarna is not among them.

The route that works is to buy an Amazon gift card from a third-party reseller that accepts Klarna, then redeem the code on your Amazon account. The credit goes straight to your Amazon balance and can be used on any purchase on that marketplace. Startselect, Dundle, and Recharge all sell Amazon gift card codes for European markets and list Klarna as a supported payment method.

Klarna offers three payment modes at supported resellers: Pay Now (immediate debit from your linked payment method), Pay Later in 30 days (full amount deferred, interest-free), or Pay in 3 (split into three equal installments billed one month apart, also interest-free). Startselect and Recharge support all three modes. Dundle lists Klarna Sofort, which is the Pay Now variant; the full BNPL options may not be available on Dundle for gift card purchases.

Step-by-Step: Buying Amazon Credit with Klarna

Step 1: Choose a reseller that accepts Klarna

Go to a reseller that sells official Amazon gift card codes and supports Klarna. Select the Amazon marketplace you need: Amazon.de for Germany and Austria, Amazon.fr for France, and Amazon.nl for the Netherlands.

Step 2: Select the gift card value

Choose the denomination you need. Amazon gift cards are available in €10, €25, €50, and €100 at most European resellers. Add the value to your cart and proceed to checkout.

Step 3: Pay with Klarna

At the payment screen, select Klarna. You will be redirected briefly to Klarna's interface to confirm your identity and choose a payment plan. Pay in 3 splits the total across three months with no interest. Klarna approves most transactions within seconds, though digital goods purchases can occasionally be declined on first attempts.

Step 4: Receive the gift card code

Once Klarna approves the payment, the gift card code appears on the confirmation screen and is also sent to your registered email address. Delivery is immediate for digital codes at most resellers.

Step 5: Redeem the code on Amazon

Sign into your Amazon account and go to Account and Lists > Gift Cards > Redeem a Gift Card. Enter the code and confirm. The balance is added to your account immediately and applies automatically at your next checkout.

Fees, Limits, and Availability

Klarna charges no consumer fee for Pay in 3 or Pay Later in 30 days when payments are made on schedule. Late payment fees apply if you miss a due date: approximately €6 in Germany after the grace period (Klarna, 2025). In France and Belgium, the amount varies based on order total and country terms.

This purchase route works across Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as most other European markets where Klarna operates. Individual Amazon gift card codes are typically available up to €100 per denomination, and you can purchase multiple codes to build a higher balance.
