Data and reporting¶
Your payment data should be available where you do your accounting. Choose an automatic data flow when your accountant or accounting system needs regular data, or download reports from the business portal when you need a manual overview.
Choose how to get your data¶
| When you need to | Choose this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Keep your accounting system up to date with payment data | Get data from APIs | Recommended. An accounting partner retrieves sales and settlement data continuously on your behalf. |
| Review transactions or export a report now | Download reports | Use the business portal without setting up an integration. |
APIs are the best option for regular accounting¶
An API integration gives your accounting partner a near-real-time flow of sales and settlement data. They can use the data to support reconciliation and bookkeeping instead of working from recurring file exports.
For Vipps number / MobilePay number sales units, you do not connect to the APIs directly. You give a registered Vipps MobilePay accounting partner access to the sales units and ledgers they need. The partner then retrieves the data using its own accounting integration.
Give an accounting partner access
Download reports when you need a manual overview¶
The business portal is the right option when you only need to check transactions or export a report occasionally. It is useful without development, but it does not replace a continuous accounting integration.
Download reports from the business portal
