# Vipps for API only

Add Vipps to your API-only integration.

[View source](/payment-methods/vipps/api-only.md)

You can add Vipps to your existing integration. The following instructions show only what you must add to your integration specifically for Vipps.

If an instruction on this page corresponds with a step in the main integration guide, it includes a link to that corresponding step of the main integration guide.

## Requirements

| Requirement           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                |   |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - |
| **Integration type**  | Make sure that you have an existing [API-only integration](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only).                                                                   |   |
| **Redirect handling** | Make sure that your existing integration is set up to [handle the redirect](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#handle-the-redirect). `action.type`: **redirect**. |   |
| **Setup steps**       | Before you begin, [add Vipps in your Customer Area](/payment-methods/add-payment-methods).                                                                                                                                 |   |

## How it works

1. The shopper selects Vipps as the payment method.
2. The shopper enters their details in the [payment form that you build](#build-your-payment-form).
3. When you make the payment request, you [include additional information about the items that the shopper intends to purchase](#additional-parameters-payments).
4. Your existing integration setup will [handle the redirect](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#additional-action).

## Build your payment form

Include Vipps in the list of available payment methods. You do not need to collect any information from the shopper in your payment form.

You can [download the logo for Vipps](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%2Bonly\&version=71#downloading-logos) to use in your form.

## Get Vipps as an available payment method

When you make the [/paymentMethods](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods) to [get available payment methods](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#get-available-payment-methods), specify the following so that Vipps is included in the response.

| Parameter                                                                                                          | Values                                                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [countryCode](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods#request-countryCode)         | **NO**                                                                              |
| [amount.currency](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods#request-amount-currency) | **NOK**                                                                             |
| [amount.value](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/paymentMethods#request-amount)             | The value of the payment, in [minor units](/development-resources/currency-codes/). |

**Example request for available payment methods**

```bash
curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v72/paymentMethods \
-H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \
-H 'idempotency-key: YOUR_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-X POST
-d '{
   "merchantAccount": "ADYEN_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT",
   "countryCode": "NO",
   "amount": {
      "currency": "NOK",
	  "value": 1000
   },
   "shopperLocale": "no-NO"
}'
```

**Example response with Vipps available**

```json
{
    "paymentMethods": [
        {
            "name": "Vipps",
            "type": "vipps"
        }
    ]
}
```

## Add additional parameters to your /payments request

When you [make a payment](/online-payments/build-your-integration/advanced-flow/?platform=Web\&integration=API%20only#make-a-payment), add the following parameters:

## Test and go live

### Test Vipps in the test environment

Before you test Vipps, follow the instructions in the [Vipps developer documentation](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/test-environment#app-installation) to download and set up the test app.

After you download and install the app, use the credentials below to log in:

* `NIN`: **14103524416**
* `Phone`: **+47 99985255**
* `Code`: **1236**

After you finish the test app setup, follow these steps to test your Vipps integration on the test environment:

1. Add Vipps to your merchant account in the [test Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/).
2. Create a payment request with Vipps.
3. Check the notification on the test app and authorize the payment.

### Request for Vipps in the live environment

Before you can accept live Vipps payments, you must submit a request for Vipps in your [live Customer Area](https://ca-live.adyen.com/).

After Adyen adds Vipps to your live Customer Area, do the following for each test payment:

1. Make a Vipps payment for a low amount.
2. Get the [**AUTHORISATION** webhook](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types/#default-event-codes) on your server. It includes the status of the payment.
3. In your live Customer Area, go to **Transactions** > **Payments** to see the status of the payment.
