MobilePay and Vipps QR codes
MobilePay and Vipps QR searches can mean several different payment jobs: a merchant may want a payment link QR for a counter sign, a hosted checkout handoff for a screen, an invoice or donation link for print, or an official one-time payment QR generated inside the Vipps MobilePay platform.
QR Code Crafter is useful when you already have a stable MobilePay or Vipps payment destination and need branded, print-ready QR artwork. It does not connect to Vipps MobilePay, does not create official MobilePay or Vipps transactions, does not call the Vipps MobilePay QR API, does not create one-time payment QR codes, and does not process payments, capture funds, verify recipients, store card data, or reconcile payments.
Use this guide to decide when a static URL QR code is appropriate, when to use the official Vipps MobilePay QR or QR API flow, and how to test Nordic payment signs, invoices, table cards, receipts, fundraising posters, and checkout screens before people scan them.
Key decisions
Verified Nordic payment destinations
Start from the Vipps MobilePay payment link, hosted checkout URL, invoice page, donation page, or provider-issued QR code that your payment provider has issued.
Official QR flows where required
Use Vipps MobilePay or your PSP when the QR code represents a one-time payment, merchant callback, customer identification, settlement, expiry, or compliance workflow.
Static supporting assets
Use QR Code Crafter for stable payment links, payment instruction pages, fallback pages, fundraising links, receipts, and campaign landing pages.
Print-ready exports
Export SVG, PDF, or EPS for invoices, posters, stickers, counter signs, table cards, and collection boxes. Use PNG, JPG, or WebP for digital instructions.
Choose the right MobilePay or Vipps QR workflow
| Payment job | Best QR destination | Check before publishing |
|---|---|---|
| Payment link QR | Verified Vipps MobilePay payment link or hosted payment page that shows the recipient and amount before approval | Confirm country support, recipient, product name, VAT, amount, expiry, and mobile fallback before printing |
| One-time checkout payment | Official one-time QR or payment URL generated by Vipps MobilePay, your PSP, or the checkout platform | Do not reuse one-time or session-bound QR codes on posters, invoices, stickers, or counter signs |
| Invoice or donation page | Hosted invoice, donation, collection, or payment request URL that remains valid for the printed use case | Print fallback payment details and support contact near the code |
| Merchant callback or customer ID QR | Provider-generated QR flow from the Vipps MobilePay platform or QR API | Use the official flow when the merchant system must receive scan events or customer identifiers |
| Campaign measurement | UTM-tagged landing page before the payment step when the payment link should stay untouched | Do not add unsupported tracking parameters to wallet, checkout, or PSP payment URLs |
| Print production | SVG, PDF, or EPS for high-resolution invoices, receipts, posters, stickers, and counter cards | Scan the final proof from the real distance and verify recipient, amount, and description |
When to use QR Code Crafter for MobilePay and Vipps
Use a static QR code when the destination is a stable URL you can verify and control. Use Vipps MobilePay or the PSP when the QR code represents a live payment or merchant integration flow.
Static payment-link QR
Paste a verified MobilePay or Vipps payment link, hosted checkout page, invoice page, donation page, or payment-instructions page into the URL generator.
Official one-time payment QR
Use the official provider flow when each scan needs a unique transaction, payment session, expiry, customer app handoff, or payment capture status.
Merchant callback QR
Use the Vipps MobilePay QR API or your payment platform when the merchant system must receive scan events, identify a customer, and then initiate a payment request.
Print and signage assets
Use QR Code Crafter to create sharp supporting artwork for stable payment links on table cards, invoices, stickers, posters, receipts, and collection boxes.
MobilePay and Vipps payment QR preflight
Payment QR codes need stricter QA than ordinary links because a wrong QR can send users to the wrong recipient or a dead payment session.
Recipient and market verification
Scan the QR code and confirm the displayed recipient, market, currency, product name, amount, VAT, and payment description before publishing.
App and browser fallback
Test on phones with the MobilePay or Vipps app installed and phones that must use a browser fallback, especially for tourists, cross-border users, and checkout links.
Expiry and session rules
Do not print one-time, checkout-session, or short-lived payment URLs unless the provider documents that they are stable for that placement.
Artwork and scan distance
Use vector formats for print, protect the quiet zone, and scan the final sticker, invoice, table card, counter display, or receipt proof.
MobilePay and Vipps QR checklist
- Confirm whether your payment provider requires an official Vipps MobilePay QR code or QR API flow.
- Use a static URL QR code only for verified payment links, checkout pages, invoices, donation pages, or payment instruction pages.
- Do not use QR Code Crafter to create one-time payment QR codes, merchant callback QR codes, or customer identification QR flows.
- Scan the QR code on real phones and verify recipient, market, currency, amount, and description before printing.
- Test the app-installed path and the browser fallback path.
- Avoid adding unsupported tracking parameters directly to payment links or PSP URLs.
- Use a UTM-tagged landing page before the payment step when campaign measurement is required.
- Use SVG, PDF, or EPS for payment signage, stickers, invoices, receipts, table cards, and counter cards.
How to make a MobilePay or Vipps QR code
- 1
Get the verified payment destination
Create or copy the payment link, hosted checkout URL, invoice page, donation page, or provider-issued QR destination from Vipps MobilePay or your payment provider.
- 2
Generate a static URL QR asset
Paste the verified URL into QR Code Crafter, add brand-safe colors or a logo, and keep high contrast for payment surfaces.
- 3
Test before using it for payments
Scan the final artwork, confirm app/browser fallback, and verify recipient, amount, expiry behavior, and payment description.
Frequently asked questions
Can QR Code Crafter create an official MobilePay or Vipps QR code?
No. QR Code Crafter does not connect to Vipps MobilePay, call the QR API, create one-time payment QR codes, or process payments. Use Vipps MobilePay or your PSP for official merchant QR flows.
Can I make a QR code for a MobilePay or Vipps payment link?
Yes, when you have a verified payment link, hosted checkout URL, invoice page, donation page, or payment instruction URL that is stable for the placement. Encode it as a static URL QR code and test it on mobile.
Should I print a one-time payment QR code?
Usually no. One-time and session-bound payment QR codes should be generated by the provider for the active checkout flow. Do not reuse them on durable printed materials unless the provider explicitly supports that use.
Can I add tracking to a MobilePay or Vipps QR code?
Use a UTM-tagged landing page before the payment step when measurement is required. Do not modify wallet, checkout, PSP, or payment-link parameters unless the provider documents that they are supported.
Which file format should I download?
Use SVG, PDF, or EPS for printed payment signs, table cards, stickers, invoices, and receipts. Use PNG, JPG, or WebP for digital payment instructions.
