Version numbers: The version numbers used in headers on this page refers to the version of this very documentation, not to a version of any APIs described by it.

26 February 2024

Version 4.8.0

A handful of changes in the pipeline this time around, with the biggest being the introduction of better error codes for excessive re-attempts. Read all about the error codes and how to test them here.

Are you in the market for One-Click payments? We have a new use case written about that. Give it a read!

Due to new directives from card companies regarding frictionless payments, we have re-introduced name fields in the payer object. Go see the fields you should include now.

We have also added the possibility to display a consent box for saving payment details. When displayed by you and checked by the payer, we have also added a new field in the paid response, confirming that a token has been created.

Big changes are coming up next time. Stay tuned!

06 Jan 24

Version 4.7.0

We spent some time building up steam after new years, but we have lots of treats lined up.

Are you looking to get started with recurring payments, but not really sure where to start? We have compiled everything you need in a use case, and walk you through it all.

Or are you maybe looking to upgrade to our newest Digital Payments version? See how easy it is in our migration guide.

A new errorType goes live any day now, so a preview in the developer portal seems fitting. The aim is to give you clearer feedback when a token has become inactive. Read more about it in the problems section.

We have also made improvements to the domain verification steps of our Apple Pay documentation.

The Resources are being split up. We have moved the test-data and release notes up a level for convenience. Development guidelines are moved to Modules & SDKs if you need them. The partners are now on our front page and Data Protection can be found in Checkout v2.

In addition to the usual handful of improvements and bug fixes, of course.

Until next time!

19 Dec 23

Version 4.6.1

The last release of 2023 is finding its way down the chimney, and is mainly consisting of maintenance and small fixes.

There is however, one quite important update among the small ones. We have added a test data section for Network Tokenization, with both test cards and useful information. Head to the Network Tokenization feature section if you want to learn more about what it is.

From all of us, to all of you: Merry Christmas!

07 Nov 23

Version 4.6.0

Today, we go live with Payment Order v3.1, which has some changes in the request, the post-purchase operations and the callback. We have also added a new resource model called failedPostPurchaseAttempts. Go check it out!

There is a new section regarding Trustly in Digital Payments, with important information regarding overlay and Trustly Express.

There is also a new Vipps field for fees in the failedAttempts resource model, and the quick links to test data and other resources have been moved from the front page to Digital Payments.

28 September 2023

Version 4.5.0

If you are reading these notes, you have probably noticed some changes already! As the Payment Terminals section is growing bigger, we have moved most of the Digital Payments related content away from the front page. The release notes can now be found where you are reading this, and the resources at the bottom of the front page will follow suit shortly.

The biggest news is the arrival of the Swedbank Pay Playground, where you can experience our payment solutions both as a payer and – since we give you access to the toolbox – a merchant. Play around with amounts, different menu setups (full menu, selected instruments or a single instrument) and styling. It is also a great opportunity to see the upcoming accessibility compliant UI. Read more about accessibility changes here. With that in mind, we have also written a section regarding custom styling of your payment UI.

If you are looking for Cross Channel Payments and can’t find it, that is because we have renamed it Integrated Commerce.

31 August 2023

Version 4.4.0

The wheels are picking up traction going into the autumn. Our first release after getting back is mostly maintenance and small fixes, but an important new addition is a section on Network Tokenization, which is a fantastic way of processing cards. Get to know it, and put it to use!

We have also adjusted our search results somewhat. Now we only display results from the sections Digital Payments and Payment Terminals. We hope it gives you an easier time finding the right result in the correct section.

Big things are coming up around the bend. Stay tuned!

06 July 2023

Version 4.3.3

We had time for one more before we clock out for summer, so we added a PATCH example to our payout feature section. Go check it out if you are on your way to implementing it.

Have a great summer!

26 June 2023

Version 4.3.2

A small batch of changes which barely missed the last deadline. We’ve done a few correction and some major changes, most notably the renaming of Checkout v3 to Digital Payments and Pax Terminal to Payment Terminal. The changes are in name only, the structure stays the same.

We have also added information regarding the Eligibility Check, and the availability of invoice for Swedish merchants, where the payment instrument integrations have been removed. You have to go through an implementation using payment order to offer this in Sweden.

19 June 2023

Version 4.3.0

You spoke, we listened! We have worked a lot on making the portal easier to navigate. The main menu has been slimmed down, where we have removed the Introduction (but you can still read the main points under fundamental principles). If you are looking for the Resources and Modules & SDK sections, they have found a new home under Digital Payments.

Speaking of Digital Payments, we’ve cleaned that up as well, and hope it will make things easier for you. The payment request example now contains what you need to create a payment order. Adding more to it is up to you and the features section. The common implementations steps have been merged to avoid duplicate information, only sending you separate places when it’s time to display the ui.

A new terminal section has been added. Exciting things are coming, so we will make sure it grows and develops going forward.

Other highlights and important changes include:

Plus the usual handful of bug fixes and smaller changes.

24 April 2023

Version 4.2.0

The keen observer might spot some changes in our menu. The Checkout v2, Payment Menu and Payment Instruments have been moved to Old Implementations. You can still find everything you want and need, so no need to worry. A new .NET SDK section has also been added, in addition to the usual bugs and small fixes.

10 March 2023

Version 4.1.0

A lot of changes are happening these days. We’ve made the decision to focus the Digital Payments offering, so our Starter and Business implementations are no more. This means that we can do what we do best: giving you a payment experience packed with options. The Payments Only implementation is still here, and for those of you with a Strong Consumer Authentication who want access to our safely stored card data, Enterprise is still available too.

03 March 2023

Version 4.0.0

We promised you something big, and here it is. Click to Pay and Google Pay™ have been added to our arsenal of payment instruments. Click on your instrument of choice to see what is needed for you to activate in your integration. We have also added information on how to activate Apple Pay, which we recommend reading up on.

As you’ve probably already seen, our new sidebar is finally live too! We have given it a facelift and different levels which we hope make it easier for you to navigate. All the content is where it used to be. Check it out (and let us know what you think)! You might also wonder where the tables following our code examples have gone. We have made them expandable, and given them a facelift as well.

We have also added 3DS2 test data, along with smaller maintenance tasks and bug fixes.

31 January 2023

Version 3.1.8

Bigger things are coming up around the bend, so we are stopping by with some smaller fixes and a Digital Payments matrix giving you a better overview over which payment instruments v3 has to offer, and the countries they are available.

We’ll be back soon!

17 January 2023

Version 3.1.7

We kick off the new year with a new field in our payment order request. Your Digital Payments implementation of choice is now added in the request. Version 2 of the balance report and transaction list is our second newcomer this release. Head over to Settlement & Reconciliation to learn more.

We have added a paid status model to Checkout v2 and Payment Menu v2, and the update payment order section is added to Digital Payments.

15 December 2022

Version 3.1.6

Our last update in 2022 mainly consists of clean-ups and fixes, but the most important changes are bin and msidn fields added (where they are relevant) to Paid resource model and Paid status model, plus a small rework of Age restrictions.

Happy holidays, everyone! We look forward to seeing you in 2023!

29 November 2022

Version 3.1.5

Our penultimate release of the year has a few things up its sleeve. The most exciting being the new capabilities Integrated Commerce, Automated Fuel Dispenser Payments, SSN and Age restrictions. We’ve also added some new fields in the Paid and Cancelled models, a new Payer resource model. Please note the organization number added to the essential information for Checkout v3 set ups. Apart from that, there are no releases without typo corrections and bug fixes.

20 September 2022

Version 3.1.3

Another small one. We’ve added Digital Payments paid responses for all instruments in both status and resource-models, finished up the headers which was missing, added MobilePay to Request Delivery Information and done away with some more bugs and typos.

02 September 2022

Version 3.1.2

We have been picking up steam since our summer break, hitting full throttle as September arrived. A smaller release this time around, but there are some important additions nonetheless. We have added a siteID field to Digital Payments implementations, re-worked nearly all headers across the portal to make navigation easier, added a section on deleting payment tokens, along with the usual batch of assorted bug fixes and typos.

01 July 2022

Version 3.1.1

A release filled with leftovers before we clock out for summer. Mostly small fixes in code examples and tables, but the most important additions are the new fields added in the paid resource model. Have a great summer!

22 June 2022

Version 3.1.0

Summer has finally arrived, and we have quite a treat waiting in our final release before the vacation pulse kicks in. Without further ado: We now proudly offer Apple Pay! It is available in all our Digital Payments implementations and integrations. There are a couple of other new additions as well:

  • Our SDKs have been updated to support Digital Payments

So, what’s new?

  • Two Checkout implementations tailor-made for different needs and wishes: Enterprise or Payments Only. We’ve summed them up to help you find the right fit and get started.
  • Each implementation starts off with a guide to set up your test account quickly.

Version 1.4

22 Dec 2019

Update in checkin module

We have added support for specifying language as input in checkin module, language. Supported languages are Norwegian, Swedish and English. Consumers outside Sweden and Norway can now purchase in our Checkout service. You can specify supported countries for shipment in a new input parameter, shippingAddressRestrictedToCountryCodes, in our checkin module. Updated API specification can be found here. The parameters language and shippingAddressRestrictedToCountryCodes have replaced the former consumerCountryCode.

The parameters msisdn and email have been made obsolete due to GDPR rules. This information cannot be sent in without the explicit consent of the payer.

01 Nov 2019

Welcome, Swedbank Pay Developer Portal

PayEx’ Commerce offerings are being rebranded to Swedbank Pay and as a result of that rebranding, PayEx Checkout is now known as Swedbank Pay Checkout and its documentation can be found on here.

Support international phone numbers in Swish

We have added support for sending in international phone numbers in the request. Check our Swish documentation here. This is supported in API, and when payer’s enter their phone number on the payment page.

Order Items

The input parameter quantity in the orderItems field is now updated to decimal. You may send up to 4 decimals. See updated documentation here

01 Oct 2019

Payment Url Credit Card

We have added the URL field called paymentUrl for Card Seamless View (previously added for Vipps and Checkout), that will be used when the user is returned from 3rd party. The URL should represent the page in where the payment Seamless View was hosted originally, such as the checkout page, shopping cart page, or similar. Basically, paymentUrl should be set to the same URL as that of the page where the JavaScript for the hosted payment view was added, in order to initiate the payment. Please note that the paymentUrl must be able to invoke the same JavaScript URL from the same Payment as the one that initiated the payment originally, so it should include some sort of state identifier in the URL. The state identifier is the ID of the order, shopping cart or similar that has the URL of the Payment stored. When the JavaScript is invoked after return of the payer, they will either be redirected to the completeUrl (event onPaymentCompleted) or if payment has failed, see an error-message and get the option to retry the payment.

01 Aug 2019

Order Items in payment orders

On Payment Orders, itemDescriptions and vatSummary has been replaced with the more versatile and powerful orderItems. While itemDescriptions will continue to work, it is recommended that all integrations switch over to orderItems as soon as possible. When orderItems is used, itemDescriptions must be removed from all requests as the two cannot be used simultaneously.

Payment Url

For our Seamless Views (currently Vipps or in Checkout), we have added a new URL field called paymentUrl that will be used when user is returned from 3rd party. The URL should represent the page of where the payment seamless view was hosted originally, such as the checkout page, shopping cart page, or similar. Basically, paymentUrl should be set to the same URL as that of the page where the JavaScript for the hosted payment view was added to in order to initiate the payment. Please note that the paymentUrl must be able to invoke the same JavaScript URL from the same Payment or Payment Order as the one that initiated the payment originally, so it should include some sort of state identifier in the URL. The state identifier is the ID of the order, shopping cart or similar that has the URL of the Payment or Payment Order stored. When the JavaScript is invoked after return of the payer, they will either be redirected to the completeUrl, or, if payment failed, see an error message and get the option to retry the payment.

If paymentUrl is not implemented, retry of payments will not be possible in either individual payment instruments such as Vipps or in Checkout. It makes it more tedious to retry payment as the whole process including the creation of the payment or payment order needs to be performed again. With paymentUrl in place, the retry process becomes much more convenient for both the integration and the payer.
