Price Plans
After the Acquiring Partner signs a contract with Klarna and agrees on pricing, Klarna will create a Price Plan that connects the partner account to fees and Payment Products.
Price Plan is a core entity and is used to manage how prices are set and updated for Acquiring Partners and Partners. Standard Price Plan rates can be overridden for matching transactions on a specific Payment Account by activating a Bespoke Pricing Configuration — see Enable bespoke pricing for the activation flow.
Relationships & Dependencies
Each Price Plan is linked to a Rate Card, which stores the actual rates. Rate Cards are reusable and required for every Price Plan. A Partner Account can have multiple Price Plans, but only one is required for onboarding.

Price Plans can have multiple versions, allowing for future-dated changes and version control. The management process includes creating the Rate Card, associating it with a Price Plan, and setting effective dates. The process is documented and managed internally, with specific steps for creation, updating, and sharing with partners. When a Price Plan has been requested and created, it can only have one state: Published.
Integration with Partner Management API
To expose and use Price Plans in transactions and for partners, Partner Management API sets its price plan id in the distribution profile.
