VIPPS Express – Register new user and link to existing users

  • Hi!

    Have implemented “VIPPS Login” and “Checkout for VIPPS” plugin to use with WooCommerce!
    Great plugins ??

    Since I have implemented “VIPPS Login” and the “VIPPS Express Checkout” it is missing to important functions:

    1. VIPPS Express should be able to create new users at the same time if the user don’t exist, so that the end user at later time can log in with “VIPPS Login” and see their order instead of beeing an guest user!

    2. VIPPS Express should verify if there is an existing VIPPS user created in wordpress and link this order to that user.

    After looking into the data WordPress and WooCommerce gets from VIPPS using these to plugins, the data is actual the same from the end user, so VIPPS Express should be able to provisioning new users and update orders on existing users.

    PS! In our scenario we only allow to logon as customer to WooCommerce only with VIPPS

    This would reduce administrative effort at our end.

    Thanks for your kind help

    Yes, this is planned (and was actually the case at one point with an earlier version of login-with-vipps).

    The github issue is here:
    https://github.com/vippsas/vipps-woocommerce/issues/30

    There is no ETA for this right now, but it will be available fairly soon.

    There are some issues with this that need to be handled correctly; including some nonobvious stuff like that express checkout results can arrive asynchronously *after* the customers’ return to the store. But we should have these mapped out pretty well.

    Hi @iverok

    Thanks for the quick answer.
    Since VIPPS GO will be terminated at 1st December this year, I think it is important to prioritize this. Without this feature, this will only lead to a lot of extra administrations among us working in free-organizations as the VIPPS GO termination already have, but I know that this decision regarding VIPPS GO is not yours.

    Belive that more will request this accordingly how fast organizations will move away from VIPPS GO to alternatives ??

    Would be great if you could put an ETA on this.

    Thanks for understanding!

    Hi @iverok

    It will really help us to have this feature implemented before we go live from “VIPPS GO” to our homepage with WooCommerce.

    Do you have had any chance to set an ETA on this with your team?

    Cheers

    Well, now that Gutenberg Blocks support has been released, this has high priority. It will likely however take a couple of weeks – there are some technical issues to resolve.

    Hi @iverok

    Thanks for all great help and support!

    Yes, I think this should be next high priority.
    For us, we know how important it is that payment is easy peasy and our user group will most likely use most out of “Hurtigkasse” and hence the user registration is super valuable!

    This feature is now supported as of version 1.6.0 of the payment gateway. If using version 1.0.11 or later of the login plugin, the feature is turned on by default. Else, turn it on in the Vipps Payment gateway settings.

    “Create new users” must be set to true in the WooCommerce settings too.
