  Vipps MobilePay Recurring FAQ
  and the
  Vipps MobilePay eCom FAQ may also be useful.

Does this plugin work alongside the Vipps MobilePay Checkout plugin?

Yes! You can use this plugin at the same time as Vipps MobilePay Checkout.

Do I need to have a license for WooCommerce Subscriptions in order to use this plugin?

Yes, you do. Get it
here.

Does this plugin work with the WooCommerce Memberships-plugin?

WooCommerce Subscriptions
and
WooCommerce Memberships
are able to work together for access to recurring memberships that unlock content.

WooCommerce Subscriptions is required in order to use Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments, but Memberships is not.

You can read about how WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Memberships work together here.

How can I get help if I have any issues?

For issues with the plugin you can submit an issue on GitHub or ask on the support forum on wordpress.org. For other unrelated issues, you should contact Vipps.

Where can I use Vipps MobilePay?

Vipps MobilePay is available in Norway, Denmark and Finland. Only users who have Vipps Mobilepay will be able to pay with Vipps MobilePay.

How can I test that the plugin works correctly?

If you have access to the Vipps MobilePay test environment you are able to use the test mode by setting the WC_VIPPS_RECURRING_TEST_MODE constant in wp-config.php.
See the getting started guide for details about how to get started using the test environment.

Vipps MobilePay does not offer test accounts for regular users of the plugin, but you can still penny-test the plugin by sending a small amount of money like 1 or 2 NOK using your production keys.
You can then refund or cancel the purchase afterward.

Why do I have to capture payments for physical products manually?

This is because of the Norwegian law. You are not allowed to charge for a physical product before you ship it, without a valid reason to do so.

You can read about it here.

If you have a valid reason to do so you can use the “Capture payment instantly” option from the “Vipps/MobilePay recurring payments” settings in your product’s settings.

When a renewal happens, why is the order on hold?

This is because when an order is charged in Vipps MobilePay it takes 2 days before the payment has been fully captured from the customer’s bank account.

After 2 days it will move to the “Processing” status. You can however change the behaviour of this by using the “Default status to give pending renewals” option in the plugin settings.

Alternatively you could look into using WooCommerce “Early renewals”: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/early-renewal/ if ensuring the status of a charge is fully completed before a specific date is of up-most importance.
