How Sofort (Klarna Pay Now) works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Sofort (now branded Pay Now by Klarna) is a bank-transfer payment method used widely in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Oliver POS surfaces Sofort inside the in-POS browser view via Klarna, Mollie, Stripe, or Adyen.
Sofort in the DACH market
Sofort was a German fintech acquired by Klarna in 2014. It pioneered direct bank-account payments before iDEAL spread across Europe and remains the most common online bank-transfer method in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Klarna has rebranded it as "Pay Now" but the gateway plugins still expose it as Sofort.
Sofort at the Oliver POS register
From the Oliver register, the cashier picks a Sofort-capable gateway (Klarna, Mollie, Stripe, Adyen); Oliver opens the hosted page inside the in-POS browser view; the customer picks Sofort, picks their German/Austrian/Swiss bank from the list, signs in to the bank's online portal in the in-POS browser, approves the transfer; Sofort confirms; Oliver writes the WooCommerce order.
Lower fees than cards in DACH
German consumers expect either Sofort or Giropay alongside cards. Sofort's merchant fee (typically 0.9% + €0.25) beats card rates and removes chargeback risk because the bank transfer is final once approved.
Best fit for retailers who…
Enable Sofort at the Oliver POS in any German, Austrian, or Swiss retail context. Pair with Giropay for broader bank coverage and Mastercard/Visa for tourists.
