Ideally we'd want this in place by end of Q2 23/24.

@AKanji-WMF @JBrungs_WMF Hi Anil, could you comment on the feasibility of adding Vipps in time for our Q3 campaign in Norway? Julia would like to message the community in the region about this with some clarity. It looks like Norway would be in the bundle in March '24 if I'm understanding the calendar correctly.

March may be tight, I will review against the other priorities - there's several things we want to hit the ground running with after code freeze.

An aside - do we anticipate any issues gathering supporter data if they donate via VIPPS? Not sure if this issue has been resolved: https://efa-net.eu/news/norways-charities-get-more-information-mobile-donations

Hi all,
Thank you for this. If we do not offer Vipps we need to have a good explanation in place as this is one of the main community request to us from past donation campaigns. In my opinion it would be great if we can make it for this FYs Norway campaign. I am creating the community collaboration spaces at the moment so can you let me know as soon as you have clearer picture so I can include relevant language? Thank you!

Hi all, after checking in with @XenoRyet we unfortunately still believe enabling this for March would be tight, given our current plan to focus on enabling ACH at the beginning of Q3. (Looping in @ERoden-WMF to help consider the relative priority of ACH vs VIPPS, as we could likely expedite VIPPS if we delay ACH).

We may be able to enable both, but wouldn't be able to confirm that at this stage.

Thanks @AKanji-WMF, if we have to choose one we should definitely prioritize ACH given the potential impact on recurring retention and market share.

Ok. Thank you all! I will add a line on the community collaboration page around Vipps being available possibly in 2025 and will let the Chapter know as well.
