Oliver POS doesn't have a partnership with MobilePay. It supports MobilePay the same way any WooCommerce store does — through MobilePay's official WooCommerce plugin, opened inside Oliver's in-POS browser view at the counter. For Danish and Finnish retailers that's the only thing most cashiers care about, because shoppers in both markets default to MobilePay long before they think about a card. The MobilePay WooCommerce POS flow described here is the same plugin, the same rates, just surfaced at the till.
What MobilePay is, exactly
MobilePay is the dominant mobile-payment app in Denmark and the established alternative wallet in Finland. It launched in Denmark in 2013, was acquired and operated for years by Danske Bank, and reports more than four million users in Denmark plus more than two million in Finland. In 2022 MobilePay merged with Norway's Vipps to form Vipps MobilePay, the combined Nordic mobile-payment company that runs all three brands on shared infrastructure.
For shoppers, MobilePay behaves like a phone-first wallet — the customer authorises payment in the app with a PIN or biometrics. For merchants on WooCommerce, MobilePay is offered as a checkout option through the same official WooCommerce plugin that powers Vipps. There is nothing proprietary about how Oliver consumes it.
How Oliver POS opens MobilePay at the counter
The till flow is deliberately ordinary. The cashier rings up an order in Oliver POS, taps Pay, and selects MobilePay. Oliver loads the corresponding MobilePay checkout page inside an in-POS browser view — a full-screen webview locked to that one sale — and renders a QR code on the cashier-facing screen.
The customer scans with their MobilePay app, confirms the amount, and authorises with PIN or biometrics. MobilePay confirms to WooCommerce, WooCommerce records a paid order against the cart Oliver assembled, the browser view closes, and the receipt prints. There is no separate POS terminal in this loop, and no extra Oliver-side code talks to MobilePay. That is the whole MobilePay WooCommerce POS path.
The MobilePay WooCommerce plugin — what Oliver rides on
The integration is powered by the official Vipps MobilePay for WooCommerce plugin, published by Vipps MobilePay. Despite the name, MobilePay is a first-class option inside it — Danish and Finnish merchants enable MobilePay specifically and configure it with their MobilePay merchant credentials. Once configured, it appears as a checkout method exactly like any other WooCommerce gateway.
Oliver's in-POS browser view simply opens that gateway against the in-store cart. Settings the merchant changes in WordPress — capture timing, branding, transaction limits — propagate to the till automatically. See the integrations overview, or the dedicated MobilePay integration page, for the rest of the workflow.
Why MobilePay is a good fit for Nordic retail
In Denmark, MobilePay is effectively part of the cultural infrastructure. The vast majority of adults use it, and customers regularly arrive at a counter expecting MobilePay to be available before any card scheme. In Finland it has reached a similar threshold among consumers and small businesses. Offering MobilePay at the till closes the same expectation gap a Norwegian retailer closes with Vipps.
Reconciliation stays clean as well. In-store and online MobilePay sales hit the same merchant account and settle together, so the merchant reads one set of reports. For market stalls, pop-ups, and small-format stores, the QR-on-screen flow needs only a tablet or laptop — no terminal hardware to lease.
What this is NOT
- Oliver POS does not partner with MobilePay. No co-marketing, no rev-share, no preferential treatment.
- Oliver does not negotiate MobilePay rates. Online and in-store sales are billed at whatever rate the merchant already agreed with MobilePay.
- Oliver does not sit in the money flow. MobilePay is the merchant of record and remits the funds; Oliver is the POS software.
- The integration is the same WooCommerce plugin Vipps MobilePay already ships. Oliver opens it inside its in-POS browser view.
Setup in 4 steps
- Have a MobilePay merchant account and the corresponding API credentials. MobilePay issues these after onboarding and KYC.
- Install Vipps MobilePay for WooCommerce from the WordPress.org plugin directory and configure MobilePay under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments.
- Install Oliver POS, connect it to the same WooCommerce store, and enable MobilePay as a counter payment method in Oliver's payments settings.
- Ring through a small live test order at the till and confirm it appears in both WooCommerce orders and the MobilePay merchant portal.
FAQ
Does Oliver POS partner with MobilePay?
No. Oliver has no commercial partnership with MobilePay. The MobilePay WooCommerce POS integration is purely the official Vipps MobilePay for WooCommerce plugin opened inside Oliver's in-POS browser view.
Does Oliver charge a markup on MobilePay?
No. The merchant pays MobilePay's published rates directly. Oliver's pricing is for the POS software and is independent of payment volume.
Do Danish and Finnish merchants share one plugin?
Yes. Both markets use the same WooCommerce plugin and configure MobilePay with their local merchant credentials. The flow at the counter is identical.
What happens if MobilePay times out at the counter?
The cashier cancels the in-POS browser view, voids the unpaid order in Oliver, and either retries MobilePay or switches to another method such as a card terminal or Nets Easy. The customer's app stays the source of truth for authorisation.
MobilePay is one of the few wallets that genuinely owns its market, and that means putting it on the floor is a customer-experience question more than a payments question. With Oliver, the MobilePay WooCommerce POS path uses the same plugin, the same rates, and the same merchant account already configured online. Try Oliver POS free for 30 days at /demo/.
