Quick start

This example is for the payment flow using the ePayment API, but it can be applied to the Recurring and eCom APIs.

To see a quick start for the login flow, see the Login API Quick start guide.

Before you begin

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. Note that any currency amount must be an Integer value minimum 100 in øre.

Your first user info

Step 1 - Setup

You must have already signed up as an organization with Vipps MobilePay and have your API keys from the portal. See Getting started guide for help.

Get these API key values for your sales unit (How to find the API keys):

• client_id - Client_id for a test sales unit.
• client_secret - Client secret for a test sales unit.
• Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key - Subscription key for a test sales unit.
• merchantSerialNumber - The unique ID for a test sales unit.

You will also need:

• internationalMobileNumber - The MSISDN for the test app profile you have received or registered. This is your test mobile number including country code.

warning

🔥 Do not store production keys in the Postman cloud. 🔥

To prevent your sensitive data and credentials from being synced to the Postman cloud, store them in the Current Value fields of your Postman environment.

Open Postman and do the following:

1. Import the following files:

   • Userinfo API Postman collection
   • Global Postman environment

2. Select to use the imported global environment.

3. In the global environment, update only the Current Value field with your own values for the following:

   • client_id
   • client_secret
   • Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key
   • merchantSerialNumber
   • internationalMobileNumber

Postman

No additional setup needed :)

Step 2 - Get an access token

Get an access_token from the Access token API: POST:/accesstoken/get. This provides you with access to the API.

curl

Send request Get Access Token

Postman

curl -X POST 'https://apitest.vipps.no/accesstoken/get' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-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' \
--data ''

For production, include all the Vipps-System headers so that we can help with debugging any problems. For details, see HTTP headers.

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

Step 3 - Request a simple payment with profile flow

Provide the scope object in the POST:/epayment/v1/payments call. This contains the information types that you want access to, separated by spaces (e.g., name address email phoneNumber birthDate).

curl

Send request Create Payment

Postman

curl -X POST https://apitest.vipps.no/epayment/v1/payments \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN" \
-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY" \
-H "Merchant-Serial-Number: YOUR-MSN" \
-H 'Idempotency-Key: YOUR-IDEMPOTENCY-KEY' \
-H "Vipps-System-Name: acme" \
-H "Vipps-System-Version: 3.1.2" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Name: acme-webshop" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Version: 4.5.6" \
-d '{
    "amount": {
        "value": 49900,
        "currency": "NOK"
    },
    "paymentMethod": {
        "type": "WALLET"
    },
    "customer": {
        "phoneNumber": 4712345678
    },
    "reference": UNIQUE-PAYMENT-REFERENCE,
    "userFlow": "WEB_REDIRECT",
    "returnUrl": "https://example.com/redirect?reference=UNIQUE-PAYMENT-REFERENCE",
    "paymentDescription": "Purchase of socks",
    "profile": {
        "scope": "name phoneNumber address birthDate"
    }
}'

Step 4 - Complete the payment

Open the redirectUrl link that is returned, and it will take you to the landing page. The phone number of your test user should already be filled in, so you only have to click Next.

You will be presented with the payment in the app, where you can complete the payment.

Step 5 - Get the sub for the payment

Call the GET:/epayment/v1/payments/{reference} endpoint. The unique identifier, sub, can be retrieved in the payment details under profile.

curl

Send request Get payment details

Postman

curl -X GET https://apitest.vipps.no/epayment/v1/payments/UNIQUE-PAYMENT-REFERENCE \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN" \
-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" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Name: acme-webshop" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Version: 4.5.6" \

Step 6 - Get the user info

Send request GET:/vipps-userinfo-api/userinfo/{sub} with the sub variable from the previous call.

curl

Send request Get Userinfo

Postman

curl -X GET https://apitest.vipps.no/vipps-userinfo-api/userinfo/{sub} \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN" \
-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" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Name: acme-webshop" \
-H "Vipps-System-Plugin-Version: 4.5.6" \
