ePayment API guide

Use the ePayment API to send payment requests to Vipps MobilePay.

In your user interface, offer Vipps and/or MobilePay as a payment option. When the user selects their preferred method, send the payment request to us.
We'll then prompt the user in their Vipps or MobilePay app to complete the payment.

For implementation details and examples, see the sections below.
