Today Klarna announces an $800m financing round during the worst stock downturn and challenging macro in decades.

.@Klarna is on a mission to make shopping online just as fun as buying in stores.
The company is rolling out a new virtual shopping feature to retail partners that allows stores to replicate some of the physical buying experience in the e-commerce realm. https://t.co/ckOEZO3UXu
.@Klarna just rolled out its first social-shopping tool, which connects online shoppers with retail employees through live messaging and video.
