> **Description:** Details about API and platform updates for January 2024, including new features, improvements, and important changes to Vipps services.

# Technical update Jan 2024

## Business portal updates

We have updated the business portal.
From 2024-01-23, it has a new address:
[https://portal.vippsmobilepay.com](https://portal.vippsmobilepay.com).

The old link will redirect to the new location for some time.

## Report API available now

The
[Report API](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/report-api/README.md)
is primarily for accounting partners who will use the API to integrate with their accounting systems,
allowing them to provide the accounting information to their merchants.

Merchants simply
[give access to the accounting partner](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/report-api/api-guide/overview.md#give-access-to-an-accounting-partner)
on the
[business portal](https://portal.vippsmobilepay.com)
without doing any development themselves.
Accounting partners use their accounting keys to retrieve data for all merchants that have selected them
as their accounting partner.

**Please note:** The SFTP service is deprecated and will
[stop working on 2024-03-01](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/technical-updates/2023-10.md#deprecation-of-the-sftp-service).

## Checkout is ready for integration in Finland

[Vipps MobilePay Checkout](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/APIs/checkout-api/README.md)
is a complete payment solution with MobilePay, VISA, and MasterCard which includes customer info retrieval
and shipping selection

**Please note:** It is not possible to start accepting payments until after the
[Vipps MobilePay joint platform launch](https://www.vippsmobilepay.com/about).

## New SDK is available

We are working on a new [Vipps MobilePay SDK](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/SDKs/README.md) for use in Deno, Node, and other JavaScript runtimes.
This beta version provides access to authorization, handling checkout sessions, ePayments, recurring payments,
callback QRs, redirect QRs, login, and webhooks.

See the [SDKs](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/SDKs/README.md) section for details.

## Status pages are moving

We have updated the Vipps operational status pages:

* Production environment: [https://status.vippsmobilepay.com](https://status.vippsmobilepay.com)
* Test environment: [https://status-test.vippsmobilepay.com/](https://status-test.vippsmobilepay.com/)

We strongly recommend that you subscribe to get notifications from these pages.

## Documentation updates

Here are some highlights from developer documentation:

* We've merged the *Common topics* and *FAQs* into a new [Knowledge base](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/README.md) section,
  where you can more easily find your topics, and once there, find everything you need to know.
* The MobilePay migration guides are continually improving.
* We've rewritten the [SDK documentation](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/SDKs/README.md) and restructured it into one page.
* There's a new [global changelog](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/changelog.md) where we can begin to record changes to the infrastructure
  (e.g., changes to the app, landing page, status pages, and business portal).
* The [front page](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/) and sidebars are updated to improve usability.
* The pages now have a small feedback form at the bottom. Please let us know what's good and what needs improvements.

In addition, we've restructured our documentation.
We previously had several public GitHub repositories (e.g., one for each API, SDK, and major section).
Now, all of these have been merged into one place.
