Make API calls​

Create a checkout session​

  1. Send request Create a Checkout Session. This starts a simple session by using POST:/v3/session.

    The reference variable is automatically set in the environment of this Postman example and can be used for subsequent calls relating to this session.

    To display the session, you will need to load the Vipps Checkout SDK in your website, as described in API Guide: Displaying the session.

Retrieve the session information​

  1. Send request Get session info. This retrieves the session information by using GET:/v3/session/{reference}. The reference variable was previously set in the environment.

    You will see the details appear in the lower pane.
