Offering Vipps MobilePay in the Nordics
Apply for services to join as a Vipps MobilePay merchant.
Vipps MobilePay operates in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden:
- Norwegian and Swedish users use the Vipps app.
- Danish and Finnish users use the MobilePay app.
General tips
By providing both Vipps and MobilePay as payment options in your online store, customers using either service will be able to make payments on your website.
If you want to show that you support multiple markets, you can include both the Vipps and MobilePay buttons in the checkout process. Each of the two options should be a separate selection with the local brand name first. (e.g., in Denmark and Finland, place MobilePay first). Review the brand guidelines for more details.
Currency support across all products
The currency used must match the country in which the merchant's sales unit is registered. This ensures compliance with local regulations and smooth payment processing.
Sales units registered in Denmark must use DKK. Sales units registered in Norway must use NOK. Sales units registered in Finland must use EUR.
Note that, although Swedish users can purchase from Norwegian shops, they are paying in NOK.
There are shorter payment time limits in Denmark and Finland, and other regulations may be different. For more details, see:
Shipping support for Express Checkout and Express
The shipping address must be located within the same country where the merchant’s sales unit is registered.
For example, if the sales unit is registered in Denmark, the shipping address must also be in Denmark.
Software considerations
Use the latest Vipps MobilePay APIs for the best performance in all markets.
International users can pay to companies that use ePayment, Recurring, and Checkout.
MobilePay merchants should migrate to Vipps MobilePay APIs.
Vipps merchants should migrate from the eCom API to the ePayment API.
Known limitations
Landing page branding
When supporting multiple markets, you can include both the
Vipps and MobilePay buttons in the checkout process.
When using ePayment or Recurring, the branding of the landing page will reflect the sales unit's country.
- Norway
- Finland and Denmark

MobilePay app detection
For MobilePay App Facade merchants,
there are sometimes failures when attempting to checking if MobilePay is installed
on a user's phone.
We recommend using universal links/asset links where possible to mitigate this problem.
Payment Service Providers (PSP)
Cross-border pass-through payments to merchants are limited.
MobilePay Online can be used between Denmark and Finland.
Vipps PSP can be used in Norway.
Swedish users may pay to Norwegian merchants through the Vipps PSP,
but this depends on whether or not the PSP will allow Swedish cards. Most work, but 3DS may fail for some users.
eCom API
The eCom API is only available for Norwegian merchants.
See eCom API limitations
for details about international use.
