Activate Vipps or Swish as payment method
How to activate Vipps (and Swish) as a payment method
Vipps and Swish are both supported in Sharefox through the Nets Easy payment integration.
🔧 How it works:
Vipps and Swish are payment methods that can be enabled in Nets Easy. Once activated, they will automatically show up in your Sharefox checkout. There is no need for you to configure anything extra in Sharefox.
✅ Steps to activate Vipps or Swish:
Log in to the Nets Easy portal:
Request activation of Vipps and/or Swish
Contact Nets at ecommerce-no@nets.eu and ask them to enable the payment method(s) you want.
- When enabled, reach out to Sharefox Support to activate it.
You're done!
Once activated by support, Vipps or Swish will automatically appear as payment options in your checkout.
📱 Important info about Swish – read before activating
Swish comes with a few critical limitations that may affect your business setup:
💸 Deposit is not supported
If you're using deposits on your products, you’ll need to remove them. Swish charges the deposit directly, it does not reserve the amount.
💳 You can’t add extra charges after the order
Swish does not store the customer's card or payment method. That means you can’t charge the customer again unless they log in and re-enter their payment info.
🔁 Customer must re-enter payment info if needed
Since the card/token isn’t stored, any changes to the order that require a new charge will need the customer to log in and complete the payment again.
🧠 TL;DR: Swish is a one-time shot. Use with caution, especially if your business relies on deposits or post-charges.
🔎 What about Vipps?
Good news: Vipps works like a card payment behind the scenes.
Vipps is handled by Nets using the customer’s card or account.
Nets can store the card (via tokenization), which allows:
- ✔️ Extra charges after order
- ✔️ Use of deposit/reservation functionality
So unlike Swish, Vipps supports post-charges and deposits – as long as tokenization is active in your Nets setup.
🧪 Can I test Vipps or Swish?
Not really. These methods only work in live environments, and require a real mobile number and account.
