About Buypass

Buypass ID is a Norwegian personal electronic ID which can be used for secure electronic identification, signature and payment. Buypass ID can be stored on a Buypass smart card or on a mobile phone.

Buypass personal ID can be used both for private services at Buypass user locations and as a personal ID in a business solution.

In the latter solution you can combine both local certificates (issued by the company itself), to serve the internal needs of the local logon and qualified certificates (issued by Buypass) on a single smart card.

With Buypass ID you can log on to websites, sign contracts electronically and pay in a simple and user-friendly way with a method that fulfils the market's highest level of security requirements.

Get started with the integration

Integration with Buypass is done similarly to other Signicat's eIDs. This section describes how to get started with setting up Buypass.

2. Select + Add new.

Certificates

You need merchant certificates in both sandbox and production environments. To get help with ordering and installing the certificates, please contact us.

Smart card (Smartkort)

Buypass Smartkort is a personal smart card (plastic card) loaded with a certificate. You need a smart card reader to use this to authenticate or sign documents. See also test information.

Smart card login

Buypass mobile app

As an alternative to smart cards, Buypass offers a mobile app that the user can use to authenticate instead of the smart card.

Mobile login

You can download this app from https://www.buypass.no/produkter/buypass-id-mobil.

Test information

Buypass Support issues test certificates. You may contact Buypass Support at +47 6113 5920, or send an email to kundeservice@buypass.no.

The certificates are plastic cards. You will need a card and a card reader. Necessary software is made available during test.

For information about how to test the smart card, see Smart card diagnose.
