> **Description:** Request user profile information.

# Profile sharing

The Recurring API enables merchants to request the user's profile information (such as phone number or
email address) as part of the payment agreement sign up flow. We call this the *Profile sharing* flow. It is also referred to as the *user info* flow.

**Privacy terms**

Ensure that you comply with our [privacy terms](https://vippsmobilepay.com/en-NO/legal/terms-privacy).

## Example industries/use-cases

 Any merchant who wants to provide a smoother subscription sign up experience for their users.

## How it looks in the app

Screenshot: Three-screen profile sharing and payment agreement sign-up flow in the app (Vipps or MobilePay) -- the consent step shows a "Give access" screen listing profile fields (name, email, phone number, address, birth date) with an "I accept" button; the overview step shows the agreement with a campaign discount callout; the approval step shows a "Confirm payment method" prompt with a payment card and a Pay/Confirm button.

Include the `scope` values you need access to (e.g., `"address email name phoneNumber"`), separated by spaces.
The options include: `address`, `birthDate`, `email`, `name`, `phoneNumber`, and `nin` (in special cases).
See [Userinfo API guide: scope](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/userinfo-api/userinfo-api-guide.md#scope) for more details.

**TIP**

Use as few scopes as possible to reduce the risk that they cancel the agreement request.
