The short version

Each has a real cost: Klarna merchant fees for the short-term products run around 5.99% plus a fixed fee in the United States, roughly double a standard card rate, so unless Klarna measurably lifts average order value or conversion it is a straight margin loss.; NCR Voyix pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.
They diverge on capability: Klarna covers Pay in 4, NCR Voyix covers Restaurant point of sale.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Klarna

Merchant fees for the short-term products run around 5.99% plus a fixed fee in the United States, roughly double a standard card rate, so unless Klarna measurably lifts average order value or conversion it is a straight margin loss.
Rates are negotiated and unpublished, which means small merchants pay the standard rate while large ones negotiate down, and you cannot benchmark what you are being charged without going to market.
Returns and partial refunds are handled through Klarna's systems rather than your payment processor, so your finance team reconciles a second settlement flow and customer service handles a second dispute process.
Buy now pay later is being brought under consumer credit regulation in the UK, the EU and Australia, which is already changing affordability checks and disclosures; the checkout experience that converts today may be legally required to add friction.
Klarna owns the post-purchase relationship, sending payment reminders and marketing in its own name, so a shopper who has a poor collections experience associates it with your brand while you have no control over the messaging.

NCR Voyix

Pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.
Contracts run for years and include hardware, so the commitment is capital as well as subscription, and a refresh cycle you fund is built into the relationship from the start.
Implementation requires professional services or a partner, so the true first year cost is a multiple of the software line and the go-live date depends on a third party's delivery schedule rather than your own team.
The system becomes entangled with payments, loyalty, kitchen and back office integrations, so replacing it later is a multi-year programme and the switching cost grows every year you stay.
NCR has been through a corporate split and subsequent divestitures, so product line ownership, roadmap and support responsibility have moved before and could move again during a long contract term.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Klarna: What does Klarna cost a merchant?

Klarna does not publish a rate card. In the United States most merchants pay around 5.99% plus $0.30 for short-term products, with longer-term financing nearer 3.29% plus $0.30, and large merchants negotiate lower.

NCR Voyix: Is this an e-commerce platform?

No. It runs stores and restaurants. If you need an online storefront you are buying that separately and integrating it.

Klarna: Does the merchant carry the credit risk?

No. Klarna pays the merchant the full amount less fees and takes the risk of the shopper not paying.

NCR Voyix: What does it cost?

Nothing is published. Pricing is negotiated per deal and includes hardware and implementation, so budget for a first year total well above the software subscription.

Klarna: Can I use Klarna alongside my existing processor?

Yes. It is normally added as an additional payment method through Shopify, Adyen, Stripe or a direct integration rather than replacing your card acquirer.

NCR Voyix: Who is it actually for?

Multi-site chains. An independent restaurant or single shop is not the buyer and will get better economics from a self-serve POS.

Klarna: Is Klarna still independent?

Yes. It listed on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2025 and holds a Swedish banking licence.

NCR Voyix: What should I ask during negotiation?

Get the roadmap and support ownership for your specific product line in writing, given the corporate restructuring, and get the exit terms and data extraction rights defined before signature.
