Vipps supported currencies

Vipps is primarily designed for users in Norway, and it supports only Norwegian Krone (NOK) as the currency for transactions. To use Vipps, users are typically required to have a Norwegian social security number, a Norwegian bank account, and a Norwegian mobile phone number.

Vipps isn’t available with your store currency

If Vipps payment isn’t available due to your store currency, you cannot select this payment provider. For this, you need to change your store’s currency.
