This is the official Vipps/MobilePay recurring payment plugin for WooCommerce. It is owned by Vipps MobilePay and maintained by Everyday AS.

Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments is perfect for you if you run a web shop with subscription based services or other products that would benefit from subscriptions.

With Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments you can:

  • Sell recurring products (virtual and physical)
  • Offer subscription services

See How it works for an overview.

Table of contents

Requirements

  • WooCommerce 3.3.4 or newer
  • WooCommerce Subscriptions
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • An SSL certificate must be installed and configured
  • Port 443 must not be blocked for outgoing traffic

Getting started

  • Sign up for a merchant agreement and product order from Vipps MobilePay merchant portal.
  • After 1-2 days, you will get an email with login details to portal.vippsmobilepay.com, where you can get the API credentials.
  • Download and install the plugin.
  • Configure the plugin.

Installation

  1. Download and activate the plugin from this GitHub repository or Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments on wordpress.org
  2. Enable the Vipps/MobilePay recurring payment payment method in WooCommerce: Settings > Payments.
  3. Click Manage on the payment method.
  4. Proceed to Retrieving Vipps MobilePay API Keys.

Setup

Retrieving Vipps MobilePay API Keys

Log-in to portal.vippsmobilepay.com/ and get your test API keys, as described in API keys.

Configuration of the plugin

  1. Fill in the client_id, client_secret and Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key found in the previous step.
  2. That's it! You can now move on to Configuring products.

Settings

Configuring products

Configuring products for use with the Vipps/MobilePay recurring payment plugin is not any different from default WooCommerce, with one exception: The configuration for whether the product is virtual or physical is important to consider.

If a product is virtual the customer will be charged immediately but if the product is physical you will have to capture the payment manually through the order in WooCommerce when you have shipped the product.

In most cases your products should be virtual when using subscriptions, but it is possible to use the plugin with physical products if you need to do so.

See the Vipps/MobilePay Knowledge base for more details: What is the difference between "Reserve Capture" and "Direct Capture"?.

Extending the plugin

WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions has a lot of default actions that interact with the payment flow, so there should not be any need to extend this plugin directly, but if you need an action or filter added to the plugin don't hesitate to create an issue on GitHub, and we will look into this as soon as possible.

The plugin is currently in a pre-release phase and will have more filters, actions and features further down the road.

Constants

Constants can be re-defined by using define('CONSTANT_NAME', 'value'); in wp-config.php.

WC_VIPPS_RECURRING_RETRY_DAYS: (integer) default: 4

The amount of days Vipps/MobilePay will retry a charge for before it fails. See Charge retries for more information.

WC_VIPPS_RECURRING_TEST_MODE: (boolean) default: false

Enables someone with access to Vipps/MobilePay developer keys to test the plugin. This is not available to regular users. See #how-can-i-test-that-the-plugin-works-correctly.

Actions

See the code for an up-to-date list of available actions. Search for do_action.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get help?

If your question is not answered on this page:

Does this plugin work alongside the "Pay with Vipps and MobilePay for WooCommerce" plugin?

Yes! You can use this plugin at the same time as Pay with Vipps and MobilePay for WooCommerce.

Do I need to have a license for WooCommerce Subscriptions in order to use this plugin?

Yes, you need a WooCommerce Subscriptions license to use this plugin.

Does this plugin work with the WooCommerce Memberships-plugin?

WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Memberships are able to work together for access to recurring memberships that unlock content.

Please note: WooCommerce Subscriptions is required in order to use Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments, but WooCommerce Memberships is not.

You can read about how WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Memberships work together at WooCommerce Memberships Subscriptions Integration.

Where can I use Vipps MobilePay?

Vipps MobilePay is available in Norway, Denmark and Finland. Only users who have Vipps MobilePay will be able to pay with Vipps MobilePay.

How can I test that the plugin works correctly?

If you have access to the Vipps MobilePay test environment, you are able to use the test mode by setting the WC_VIPPS_RECURRING_TEST_MODE constant in wp-config.php. See the getting started guide for details about how to get started using the test environment.

Vipps MobilePay does not offer test accounts for regular users of the plugin, but you can still penny-test the plugin by sending a small amount of money like 1 or 2 NOK using your production keys. You can then refund or cancel the purchase afterward.

Why do I have to capture payments for physical products manually?

This is because of the Norwegian law. You are not allowed to charge for a physical product before you ship it, without a valid reason to do so.

See Guidelines for the standard sales conditions for consumer purchases of goods over the internet for more information.

If you have a valid reason to do so you can use the Capture payment instantly option from the Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments settings in your product's settings.

When a renewal happens, why is the order on hold?

This is because when an order is charged in Vipps MobilePay, it takes 2 days before the payment has been fully captured from the customer's bank account.

After 2 days, it will move to the "Processing" status. You can however change the behavior of this by using the "Default status to give pending renewals" option in the plugin settings.

Alternatively, you could look into using WooCommerce "Early renewals": https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/early-renewal/ if ensuring the status of a charge is fully completed before a specific date is of utmost importance.

How do I activate recurring payments in Vipps Checkout on WooCommerce?

  1. If you don't have a customer relationship with Vipps, you need to register as a Vipps MobilePay merchant first. Follow the Getting Started guide.
  2. Download our recurring plugin.
  3. Activate the plugin

Can I use this plugin for single payments as well?

If you offer both recurring and single payments, we recommend using our Recurring checkout plugin alongside our standard checkout plugin.

The Recurring checkout plugin will allow you to process single payments and recurring payments in the same checkout, but you still need our standard checkout plugin to process single payments when no recurring product is present in your shopping cart.

What shipping options are available for this checkout?

For recurring payments, we only offer static shipping options at the moment. We do not support location based dynamic shipping, yet.

What payments methods are available for this checkout?

At the moment, it only supports Vipps MobilePay.
