Question 1

How do I use Klarna to spread the cost of entering an event over three interest free payments?

Accepted Answer

Klarna is now enabled for all our events. Fill in the registration form and then click the dark blue 'Pay in Full' button. On the next screen select 'Pay another Way' & you'll see the Klarna option.

If you're buying a British Triathlon Race Pass!
Unfortunately Klarna does not work for bookings where you are also buying a British Triathlon Race Pass. This is because the funds for Race Passes go straight to British Triathlon. In this instance please answer YES in the 'I am a BTF member' box & type KLARNA in as the licence number. You can then complete your booking with KLARNA.

After you've booked you can add one or more Racepasses to your bookings. You can view your bookings (via the link in your confirmation email). You then click to 'Add items to booking', then select and pay for the race pass to link it to the correct triathlon booking.
