Technical newsletter for developers 2021-06

This newsletter was sent in June 2021.

Recognize your loyal customers​

With Vipps you can always know who your customers are, and optionally connect them to your loyalty program:

  • Vipps Log in: The easiest way to register and/or log in. No usernames or passwords!
  • Userinfo: Ask the user to share details, such as: phone number, name, email address, postal address, birthdate, national identity number and bank accounts.

You can then automatically give your loyal customers benefits such as discounts, freebies, connect them to your own loyalty program. More information:

Please note: When a user pays with a debit or credit card using Vipps, all the benefits apply, just as when the payment card is used outside Vipps.

API Dashboard for Vipps Login API​

The API Dashboard now also shows data for the Login API. See it on portal.vipps.no under the "Utvikler" ("Developer") tab. Here's an example:

Reminders​

We have mentioned some things before, and take this opportunity to remind you:

Manage "everything" on portal.vipps.no​

All customers can now log in on portal.vipps.no and order new products, which automatically creates a new sales unit:

You can create also new sales units in the test environment on portal.vipps.no: On the page with the API keys for the test environment there is a button for creating additional sales units, and you can then select "direct capture" or "reserve capture", and also skipLandingPage. This is available for all customers, also those that do not yet have any API access.

Please update your plugins​
