Quick start

Before you begin

Be aware that these are running on the production server, https://api.vipps.no.

🔥 To reduce risk of exposure, never store production keys in Postman or any similar tools. 🔥

Important: Partner keys must be kept secret. They can be used to act on behalf of all the partner's merchants. It is the partner's responsibility to manage the partner keys securely. See Partner keys.

The provided example values in this guide must be changed with the values for your sales unit and user. This applies for API keys, HTTP headers, reference, phone number, etc.

Get information about your merchant sales units

Step 1 - Setup

You must have already signed up as an organization with Vipps MobilePay and have your test credentials from the merchant portal.

You will need the following values, as described in the Getting started guide:

• client-id - Partner key is required for getting the access token.
• client-secret - Partner key is required for getting the access token.
• Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key - Partner subscription key is required for all requests.
• merchantSerialNumber - The unique ID for a test sales unit. Merchant ID is only required for Get sales unit details based on MSN, but can be included in all headers.
• orgno -The Organization number for the merchant. It is only used in Get merchant by organization number.

Step 2 - Authentication

For all the following, you will need an access_token from the Access token API: POST:/accesstoken/get. This provides you with access to the API.

Note to use the address to the production server and provide keys for a production sales unit.

curl https://api.vipps.no/accessToken/get \
-H "client_id: YOUR-CLIENT-ID" \
-H "client_secret: YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET" \
-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY" \
-H "Merchant-Serial-Number: YOUR-MSN" \
-H "Vipps-System-Name: acme" \
-H "Vipps-System-Version: 3.1.2" \
-X POST \
--data ''

The property access_token should be used for all other API requests in the Authorization header as the Bearer token.

Step 3 - Get merchant sales units by organization number

Send request GET:management/v1/merchants/{scheme}/{id}/sales-units, where orgno is the organization number of the sales unit. Details about the merchant will be provided.

curl https://api.vipps.no/management/v1/merchants/{scheme}/{id}/sales-units \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1Ni <truncated>" \
-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: 0f14ebcab0ec4b29ae0cb90d91b4a84a" \
-H "Vipps-System-Name: acme" \
-H "Vipps-System-Version: 3.1.2" \
-H 'Vipps-System-Plugin-Name: vipps-postman' \
-H 'Vipps-System-Plugin-Version: 2.0' \
-X GET

Take note of the merchant serial numbers returned and use one of these in the next step.

Step 4 - Get sales unit by Merchant Serial Number

Send request GET:management/v1/sales-units/{msn}, where msn is the Merchant Serial Number.

This returns a JSON structure with the details, including the org number.

curl https://api.vipps.no/management/v1/sales-units/{msn} \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1Ni <truncated>" \
-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: 0f14ebcab0ec4b29ae0cb90d91b4a84a" \
-H "Vipps-System-Name: acme" \
-H "Vipps-System-Version: 3.1.2" \
-H 'Vipps-System-Plugin-Name: vipps-postman' \
-H 'Vipps-System-Plugin-Version: 2.0' \
-X GET
