Start testing
If you have ordered an online service: You'll be using the API platform to integrate Vipps/MobilePay into your website or system.
Once your sales unit is ready, you can start testing the applicable API endpoints and complete the corresponding checklists (e.g., ePayment checklist). For partners, there are additional steps.
You can get help to create your Vipps MobilePay integration from partners and plugins.
- A partner is a company that can manage your webshop or cash register integration. See Easy onboarding via our partners and the filter checkboxes to find a list that closely meets your needs.
- A plugin is a third-party software library that can be used in webshops (e.g., WooCommerce, Shopify, Adobe Commerce). See our plugins.
Get your API keys
API keys are used for authentication with the API platform. These are credentials that confirm your identity and that your API request is valid.
You'll need API keys for sending requests on behalf of your sales unit.
Each sales unit has a unique set of API keys, so if you have many sales units, you will use different keys for each one.
Be very careful how you share your API keys. Use encrypted mail or provide other users with minimum access to see the keys for a sales unit in the portal.
- Merchants
- Partners
All merchants with API access have access to the test environment.
A test sales unit is automatically created when a merchant submits an order for a Vipps MobilePay product that includes an API. The details and API keys can then be found in the Developer section on portal.vippsmobilepay.com. See the Merchant portal section for details about logging in.
The sales unit will have the same country code as the merchant it is created for.
A Norwegian merchant can only create Norwegian sales units, a Danish merchant can only create Danish sales units, and Finnish merchants can only create Finnish merchants. You can find the API keys for your test or production sales unit in the merchant portal, portal.vippsmobilepay.com. (Need help logging in?) Select For developers in the sidebar.
With the API keys tab selected, you should see a table with sales units. Select either Production or Test, depending on the type of sales unit you are looking for. 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. For example: 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 portal user for that person,
and give them basic access to the sales unit.How to find the API keys
All Vipps MobilePay customers can create as many sales units as they need in the test environment. Sale units in the test environment cannot be changed. See: How to create a test sales unit.
Once your partner application has been approved, you'll receive a welcome email with a test sales unit and API keys. If you have lost this or need a new test sales unit, please contact partner@vippsmobilepay.com. Sales units are unique per country. Remember to state which country the sales unit should be created for.
Note that partner functionality is not available in test. Instead, you will receive merchant API keys, as mentioned in the limitations section. All payment and login flows can be tested using the merchant API keys.
Partners can also get access to the test environment by ordering the Login API. See Partner: How to get access to your sales units on the merchant portal.
