Excellent plugin for Norwegian sites

If you live in Norway, then you already know what Vipps is, and how widely used it is. If your company has a Vipps number or any other business agreement with Vipps, then this plugin is just brilliant for websites where you want to make life easier for your returning customers. I was so relieved by how easy it was to use, after reading the technical documentation provided by Vipps. Five stars, hands down, and a big Thank You to the developer of this plugin.

In my case, I have a small webshop run on WooCommerce. I ticked the relevant boxes in the WooCommerce settings to allow customers to register themselves on my website, then installed this plugin. I registered with Vipps. They responded quickly, and I got the necessary API Keys for production environment (i.e. for real life use) in just 2 days. Top tip: ignore all the technical stuff you get when you are welcomed into the test environment by Vipps. Just sit and wait for the production environment API keys. The plugin has done all the hard work for you.

When you get an e-mail confirming your API keys for production environment are available, simply copy-paste the relevant details into the fields requested from the plugin, then copy the URL clearly provided in the plugin pages to the relevant field on the Vipps website (see plugin installation guide). That’s it! Go to your “Account” page (you might need to provide a link on a menu). Above the “login” or “register” sections, is a nice Vipps banner inviting your customers to log in or register.

I don’t request date of birth when customers normally register (don’t need to), and this is not provided by Vipps to my site either. Great!

Absolutely magical. I’m tech savvy but not a developer. This plugin is just brilliant. Three copy-paste steps, tick off a couple of checkboxes and customers can immediately register themselves. Just remember to update your GDPR statement.

No annoying banners with pushy advertising, it’s free and it’s very smooth. Brilliant, brilliant app that makes life for me and my customers easier. Highly recommended.
