Shopify Agency in Norway

Frequently Asked Questions About Shopify Agency in Norway

• What do you know about Norwegian consumer behavior and shopping preferences?
  Norwegian shoppers are mobile-heavy, trust-driven, and expect transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no surprises at checkout. They care about sustainability (but can spot greenwashing instantly), want flexible delivery options like parcel lockers, and 71% won't buy without clear return policies. We build stores around these realities, not assumptions.

• Can you help with MVA (VAT) compliance and Norwegian tax requirements?
  Yes, we configure your store to calculate and display MVA correctly (25% inclusive pricing as required by law), set up tax reporting, and guide you through Altinn registration. For cross-border sales, we handle VOEC registration and EU VAT setup. We also connect you with Norwegian accountants when needed.

• Do Norwegian consumer protection laws affect how we build Shopify stores?
  Norway's Forbrukerkjøpsloven (Consumer Purchase Act) and Angrerettloven (Right of Withdrawal Act) are strict. We ensure your store displays mandatory information clearly: 14-day return policy (you can't restrict this), full company details, delivery timeframes, and total price including all fees. We also set up compliant return flows, proper terms and conditions, and cookie consent that meets both GDPR and Norwegian data protection requirements.

• How do you optimize Shopify stores for Norway's unique payment landscape?
  Vipps is non-negotiable (it's used by 90% of Norwegians), but we also integrate Klarna for installment payments, bank transfers for B2B customers, and international cards for tourists and cross-border shoppers. Since Shopify Payments launched in Norway in 2024, we can streamline everything through one gateway. We position Vipps prominently at checkout and optimize the mobile payment flow, which typically lifts conversions by 20–30%.
