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¶

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.

What to ask your accounting partner¶

Agree on what you need in your accounting system before setting up the integration. The available data can support bookkeeping and reconciliation; ask your partner which of these tasks their integration supports.

Separate sales, refunds, fees, and payouts¶

Ask your partner to record sales, refunds, and fees separately and help you match payouts to your bank account. This makes it easier to understand how sales and money movement relate, and to investigate a difference.

Report by sales unit¶

If you use several sales units, ask your partner to keep them separate in your accounting and reporting. This helps you follow sales from each location, stand, or channel.

Use Shopping Basket details when available¶

Ask whether the integration can bring item names, quantities, and VAT from Shopping Basket sales into your accounting system. These details can help you review what was sold and check the line items behind an individual sale.

Product details depend on what was included in the sale. Open Amount sales do not have order lines, and VAT information can be missing or partial. Your partner's integration should handle those gaps.

Start by checking whether your accountant or accounting system provider is a registered Vipps MobilePay accounting partner. Then give the partner access to the sales units and ledgers they need.

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
