Product placement
Klarna: it ACTS as a payment method, allowing the creator to spread costs over time. Removing it would change how the creator paid for items. Vinted: it ACTS as a marketplace where the creator sells unwanted items. Removing it would change how the creator offloaded items. None of the other items ACT or APPEAR.
