Your free WhatsApp store in Norway, paid by Vipps and card, with no commission
One link with your catalog and a cart, and complete orders in your WhatsApp. Customers pay the way they already do. Free, with no commission on sales.
Get paid with what your customers already use
WAStore doesn’t process payments or take a percentage. You add your methods in Settings → Payment, and customers see them when they order.
Vipps
Choose the “Vipps” type, enter your Vipps number and upload your Vipps QR: customers scan it at checkout, pay in the app and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay (Stripe)
On Pro you connect your own Stripe account: customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the order is marked paid automatically.
Bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your account number; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Pickup
Offer free pickup at checkout and take cash or a transfer when the customer collects.

Selling on WhatsApp in Norway
In Norway almost everyone pays with Vipps, and small businesses (bakers, crafters, second-hand and clothing sellers, caterers) take orders on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in kroner and a cart, so orders arrive complete and customers see your Vipps number at checkout.
On Pro, cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account. Set a delivery fee for your area and another for the rest of Norway, or offer pickup.
Shops in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Norway
Delivery and couriers
Posten and Bring deliver to post offices, parcel lockers and homes nationwide, with PostNord, Helthjem and Instabox as alternatives in many areas. Many local sellers deliver themselves or offer pickup.
Registration and tax
Most start with a sole proprietorship (enkeltpersonforetak, ENK) registered with the Brønnøysund Register Centre. VAT (MVA) registration is required once sales pass NOK 50,000 over 12 months. Food businesses register with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) before they start.
How customers pay
Vipps is the default way to pay small sellers, and for sales you use a Vipps business agreement rather than your private number. Cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account on Pro, and bank transfers work for larger orders.

WAStore vs other options in Norway
Most WhatsApp store tools no longer take a commission. What differs is how many products you get for free, whether orders are capped, and whether customers see your local payment methods (Vipps and card) when they order.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Norway
Can I use my private Vipps for sales?
Private Vipps is meant for payments between people. Once you sell regularly, get a Vipps business agreement and enter that number in WAStore.
Do I need to register a business to sell online?
If you are running a business, yes: an ENK registered with the Brønnøysund Register Centre is the usual start, and you register for VAT once sales pass NOK 50,000 over 12 months.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your area and for the rest of Norway?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your area and another for the rest of Norway, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Is WAStore free in Norway?
Yes. The free plan doesn’t expire: up to 50 products, unlimited orders and no commission on sales. Pro is optional.
Can I get paid by Vipps and card?
Yes. You add your payment methods in Settings → Payment and customers see them when they order. The money goes straight to you; WAStore never touches payments.
Does WAStore take a commission?
No, not on the free plan and not on Pro. Everything your customer pays is yours.
Do I need WhatsApp Business?
No. It works with regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, and neither you nor your customers install anything.
Can I accept card payments?
Yes, on Pro: you connect your own Stripe account and customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The money goes to your account, and the order is marked paid automatically.
