ePayment API terms

Special terms for using the ePayment API are as follows.

Long-living payment requests

Long-living payment requests are enabled by Vipps MobilePay on case by case basis to Merchants and sales units that fulfil the requirements set forth by Vipps MobilePay from time to time.

To enable Long-living payment requests, please contact your key account manager or partner manager.

In Denmark: Available upon request.

In Finland: Available to Merchants who previously had MobilePay Invoice.

In Norway: Available in special circumstances

General requirements

The ePayment API enables setting the timeout for a payment in certain circumstances. The timeout can range from 10 minutes to the maximum allowable timeout for your sales unit, which can be up to 60 days. However, to secure a consistent user experience we advise avoiding longer than 10-minute timeouts unless they are necessary for a special use case.

For avoidance of doubt, Vipps MobilePay is not responsible if the customer doesn’t approve the payment request. Merchant will remain responsible for monitoring the status of the payment and collecting any outstanding payments.

Additional requirements for Norwegian Merchants

• Timeout can not exceed 24 hours.
• The customer must be present at the time the service is performed and/or agreed upon.
• The customer must be informed of and agree to Merchant’s terms of sale, including relevant information on payment methods and applicable charges. Vipps MobilePay may require the Merchant to verify the customer’s acceptance.
• The Merchant may send the payment request only after the delivery of the product or service.
• The Merchant must add purchase order lines in the payment request.
