No cash? No Problem! DoorDash-Klarna partnership lets you pay for takeout in installments

Recap: DoorDash has partnered with Swedish-based financial services company Klarna to offer customers more ways to pay for deliveries. At checkout, you'll have the choice to break a bill up into four equal, interest-free installments, defer a payment until a later date, or pay in full as you normally would.

DoorDash said the option, which will launch in the coming months in the US, can be used on food deliveries as well as groceries, retail purchases, and to pay for a DashPass annual plan.

As NBC News highlights, the announcement has drawn criticism on social media. Folks are not terribly upset with DoorDash or Klarna so much as they are concerned about what the partnership says about our ever-increasing, debt-minded economy.
