Changelog

Here you'll find updates about changes to our general infrastructure and other key developer resources.

For details on API-specific changes, please refer to the individual changelogs. For example:

November 2025​

  • Management API: Product order prefilling improvements and deprecated field removal.

October 2025​

  • Recurring API: Reduced lead time for charge creation and payment source blocking support.

September 2025​

We added rate limiting to the API Lifecycle.

August 2025​

  • ePayment API: Express feature launched.
  • Login API: Agreement scope support and increased ID token lifetime.

We enabled refunds of recurring transactions on portal.vippsmobilepay.com for merchants in Denmark and Finland.

Previously, manual refunds made in the portal did not immediately update the API, and outdated charge details could be returned until the same refund was performed via the API.

From 19 August 2025, the API now returns updated information immediately for refunds made in the portal, and a webhook event is also sent.

July 2025​

We have removed some complex and unused functionality where two or more sales units could use the same ledger. All sales units now have their own unique ledger.

No new ledgers will contain information for more than one sales unit (merchant serial number).

June 2025​

May 2025​

April 2025​

Automatic card updates​

Starting in April, cards added to the Vipps Vipps or MobilePay MobilePay app will be automatically updated before their expiry date. This applies to both Visa and MasterCard, leveraging their token-based update services to ensure seamless functionality.

With automatic updates, conversion rates for the Recurring API and ePayment API will see a boost, offering merchants more reliability in payments.

This feature will roll out in Norway first, followed by Denmark and Finland.

March 2025​

February 2025​

Partner portal​

The partner portal is live! This empowers partners and large merchants (configured as partners) to:

  • Check the status of all product orders
  • Get the details for one merchant
  • Get a list of all sales units
  • Get a list of all sales units for one merchant
  • Get details for a sales unit
  • Get a list of price packages

This is our Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and your feedback is key! Let us know what features you'd like us to prioritize. For more details, visit the partner portal section.

January 2025​

Webhook retry strategy​

(Retroactively added; originally implemented on 2024-11-28)

The webhook retry strategy has been updated to enhance reliability and performance. For details on the new approach, check out the Webhooks API guide: Retry strategy.

December 2024​

Easier payments for merchants serving Norway, Denmark, Finland, or Sweden​

Companies based in Denmark, Finland, or Norway can now offer both Vipps Vipps and MobilePay MobilePay to customers in these countries—as well as Sweden. This makes it even simpler to reach more users across the Nordics with seamless payment options.

If you're still using one of the older APIs, some features might not be available. Upgrade from eCom to ePayment.

Learn more about cross-border options in Offering Vipps MobilePay in the Nordics.

Cannon with several flags coming out

November 2024​

Landing page: More robust handling of retries​

We've improved how retries are handled to prevent double payments when users navigate away from the Vipps MobilePay landing page —for example, by using the browser's Back button or a keyboard shortcut to return to the merchant's site.

Now, if a user navigates back from the landing page, the payment will be cancelled. This ensures they can't go forward again and accidentally pay for the same transaction twice.

For more details, see the FAQ:

October 2024​

Updated TLS cipher suite support​

To maintain strong security, we will no longer support very old cipher suites for TLS. The list of accepted cipher suites is available on the Server page.

September 2024​

Swedish users can now shop with Vipps​

Swedish users can use the Vipps app to make purchases from Norwegian merchants. For more details, check out Payments from Sweden.
