Vipps payments Private preview
Learn about Vipps, a common payment method in Norway.
Vipps is a single-use card wallet payment method used in Norway. It allows your customer to authenticate and approve payments using the Vipps app.
When your customer pays with Vipps, Stripe performs a card transaction using the card data we receive from Vipps. The processing of the card transaction is invisible to your integration, and Stripe immediately notifies you whether the payment succeeded or failed.
Common mistake
Vipps is in private preview. While in private preview, you must include the vipps_preview=v1 header in all API requests that include Vipps. See the integration docs for examples that include this header.

Get started
Learn how to manually configure Vipps as a payment method.
Connect
You can use Stripe Connect with Vipps to process payments. Connect users can use Vipps with the following charge types:
Enable Vipps for connected accounts
Connected accounts with access to the full Stripe Dashboard can enable Vipps in their Payment methods settings. To check which accounts have enabled Vipps, use the capabilities hash in the accounts webhooks or APIs to see if the vipps_payments capability is set to active.
For connected accounts that don’t have access to the full Stripe Dashboard, see enable payment methods for your connected accounts. The name of the connected account is the name that customers see during checkout and in the Vipps app.
Disputes
Vipps allows transaction disputes. Customers can open disputes directly with their cards issuer for cases of suspected fraud, double payments, or a difference between an order and a transaction amount.
You can submit evidence to contest a dispute directly. The dispute process is the same as for card payments. Learn how to manage disputes.
Refunds
Vipps supports full and partial refunds. You can also issue multiple partial refunds up to the amount of the original charge.

In addition to the categories of businesses restricted from using Stripe, the following categories are specifically prohibited from using Vipps:
- Cryptocurrencies (Restricted)
- Stock trade
- Gambling
- Betting
- Bonds

Current limitations
BankAxept support
Stripe doesn’t support the BankAxept card network. If a customer pays with a BankAxept-branded card, Stripe processes the payment on the Visa and Mastercard networks instead.
Fees
Stripe receives card data from Vipps to process card transactions using Stripe’s Visa and Mastercard integrations. Because Vipps payments are card transactions, you incur the following fees for each successful transaction:
- Stripe processing fees associated with the card transaction
- Applicable taxes
- Vipps transaction processing fee
The Vipps transaction fee isn’t subtracted immediately from the transaction. Instead, Stripe bills them once a day.
Stripe processing fees and taxes
After a successful transaction, Stripe automatically deducts the Stripe transaction fees and applicable taxes from the original transaction amount and provides the remaining amount on your Stripe balance. These fees are identical to a standard card transaction.
Vipps is subject to the standard payout schedule applicable to your country.
Vipps processing fee
The Vipps processing fee isn’t presented within the net amount of a successful transaction. Instead, Stripe bills the Vipps processing fee once a day, at which point we automatically deduct the sum that you owe from your Stripe balance.
