Setting Up Klarna for Aesthetic Treatments: Lift Your Average Order Value

High-value aesthetic treatments rarely fail on desire, but often on price at the moment of decision. A patient who can pay a 400 euro treatment in four instalments does not hesitate, she books. This is exactly where Klarna comes in. This article shows why instalments in an aesthetic clinic lift the average order value and how to set them up correctly.

Why instalments work so well in aesthetics

Aesthetic treatments often sit in the three or four-figure range. That is a barrier that makes many patients hesitate at the decisive moment, even when they want the treatment and can afford it. A monthly instalment changes the perception: 400 euros at once becomes four times 100 euros. The perceived barrier drops, the willingness to book rises, and larger treatment packages suddenly become realistic.

The effect on average order value

Instalments are not just a service, they are a revenue lever. Patients who can pay in instalments more often choose the larger package or the additional treatment. In practice, the average order value rises noticeably, without you giving a single discount. That is the crucial difference: instalments increase revenue, while discounts reduce it.

How to set up Klarna in your aesthetic clinic

Technically the setup is straightforward when Klarna is integrated directly into your booking and payment system. Three things matter:

• Klarna visible in the right place. The monthly instalment should appear first, not hidden in the fine print.
• Set a sensible threshold. Instalments make sense from a treatment value of around 150 euros, not on a 40 euro treatment.
• A seamless checkout. The fewer clicks between desire and booking, the higher the conversion.

Zovi brings Klarna directly into the branded clinic app, together with booking, loyalty and memberships. The monthly instalment is shown as the primary anchor, the threshold is configurable, and the checkout stays seamless. That turns a high-value treatment into a booking instead of a hesitation. Our case studies provide the proof.
