By now, most shoppers are familiar with ‘buy now, pay later’ programs from apps like Klarna and Afterpay. Carefully dividing larger spends into a series of smaller, more manageable payments has enabled shoppers to double down on all sorts of tech, gear and investment pieces. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Klarna has taken things a step further. Fans can now use the Klarna app to harness the brand’s new search and compare tool; which quickly aggregates shopping results from thousands of different retailers to display one product at every price available. By tweaking a dozen different filters, you can even narrow your search down by size, color and more to home in on the perfect grill, luggage set or any other product category.
Today we’re taking a look at a new camp furniture collection, fishing rod and Bentley’s first EV. This is Today in Gear.
