Makes billing country and email fields optional for Klarna payments

What’s new

Previously, for Klarna payments, the billing_country was used to enforce buyer country eligibility for Klarna. Now, the payment’s currency determines if you can accept Klarna payments in that currency.

Impact

Because the email and country parameters are now optional, you aren’t required to pass that information to Stripe, which should reduce chances of integration errors. We recommend you continue passing this data (and other supplementary data) for Klarna payments to improve approval rates. Klarna underwrites credit options for the buyer at the transactional level, so the more data they have on the payment, the likelier they are able to approve the buyer for a Klarna credit option.
