The paymentUrl in the response is crucial for the next step.

Step 2: Redirect to the Payment Page

After successfully creating a payment link, your system should redirect your user to the paymentUrl received in the response from Step 1. This will take your user to our secure hosted checkout page, where they can complete the payment.

Payment Options

On the hosted checkout page, users will be presented with two primary payment options:

1. Payment Methods (Vipps, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard)

If the user selects one of the standard payment methods:

2. Pay By Invoice

The invoice distribution method is determined based on the information provided in the request. The system follows this priority order:

  1. EHF or E-invoice (Preferred) – Requires a valid P-number or organization number.
  2. Email – Used if EHF/E-invoice cannot be delivered.
  3. Postal Mail – Used if no valid email address is available or email delivery fails.

If none of the above delivery methods are successful, our customer service team will notify the client to resolve the issue.

When a Private Customer chooses the "Pay By Invoice" option:

When a Corporate Customer chooses the "Pay By Invoice" option:

Notifications via Callback URL

For invoice order and customer type is private, after BankID verification is completed successfully our system will notify you via the callbackUrl provider by you.

For invoice order and customer type is corporate, the order will be directly invoiced after user select invoice method from the payment page and frontpayment will notify you via callbackUrl.

For an invoice, our system will also notify you for any future status changes in our system via callbackUrl. Follow the link below to learn how to handle callback data from your side.
