How to find the API keys​

API keys are used for authentication with the API platform. These are like passcodes that confirm your identity and that your API request is valid.

The API keys include:

  • client_id - Client ID for the sales unit (the "username")
  • client_secret - Client secret for the merchant (the "password")
  • Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key (primary) - Subscription key for the API product
  • Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key (secondary) - Subscription key for the API product

For information about how to use the keys, see API keys.

You find these as follows:

  1. Log in on portal.vippsmobilepay.com.

  2. Select For developers in the left menu. With the API keys tab selected, you should see a table with sales units.

  3. Select either Production or Test, depending on the type of sales unit you are looking for.

  4. Find the sales unit in the table and click the corresponding Show keys button. A panel will open where you can copy the values of each key.

    API keys

If you need to get/give the API keys from/to someone, be sure to do it securely. If you can't do that, then create a new portal user for that person, and give them basic access to the sales unit.

If you aren't sure what to do next, see the Getting started page.

How to find the Merchant Serial Number​

The Merchant-Serial-Number is a unique identifier that is defined when a sales unit is created. This can be optionally sent in the header for each API request, to aid us with problem-solving.

Find your desired sales unit and the Merchant Serial Number (MSN) is displayed to the right of the sales unit name. You can also find the MSN and other details on the page displayed by clicking the sales unit name or the Show keys buttons.

You can have multiple sales units which can be managed in the portal. You can change the logo, name, or account.

How to create additional users​

Merchants may create additional users, both for their own colleagues, accountants, etc. - and also for their partner's employees. Or anyone else they want to give access to their sales units.

Partners should use partner keys. If the partner has not implemented partner keys, there will be some manual work: The merchant must retrieve the API keys on portal.vippsmobilepay.com and send them to the partner securely.

If the merchant is unable to provide the API keys to the partner securely, the merchant can create a user for the partner, so the partner can retrieve the API keys.

note

Access is provided for individuals. It is not possible for a merchant to give access to a business (e.g., its partner), only to specific people. There is no limit to the number of people that can be given access.

  1. Log in to the portal.vippsmobilepay.com, as described in the logging in section.

  2. Select User accesses in the left menu to see the list of users.

  3. Select Add user. Enter the new user's phone number.

  4. Select the permissions for the user. A partner's user should include Developer permissions (Access and manage API settings). See Access permissions in the portal for details about the permissions.

    Select the permissions for the user

    Click Next.

  5. Select sales unit(s) the new user will get access to.

    User is added

    Click Complete.

Remember to inform the user when the registration is complete, so they can log in right away.

How to modify a user's permissions​

Follow the steps in How to create additional users, except instead of selecting Add user, find the user. Hover over the three dots at the end of the row. Select Edit permissions and update the permissions. See Access permissions in the portal for details about the permissions.
