How to get your Swish credentials

Swish credentials come from two places: your bank issues the Swish number, and you create the certificate yourself in Swish's own portal. Nobody can do either part for you — not Swish, and not TourTask — so plan for a short wait on the bank and about fifteen minutes on the certificate.

1. Order Swish Handel from your bank

Ask your Swedish business bank for Swish Handel — the merchant agreement, not Swish Företag, which has no API and cannot take payments from a booking page. You also nominate a certificate contact, who needs a Swedish BankID. The bank sends you a Swish number: ten digits beginning with 123.

2. Create your certificate

You generate a key pair and a signing request on your own machine, then have it signed at portal.swish.nu using your certificate contact's BankID. That gives you the two PEM blocks TourTask needs — the certificate with its full chain, and the private key, which never leaves your computer.

3. Activate Swish in TourTask

In TourTask go to Configuration → Payment options, add Swish, paste the Swish number and the two PEM values, and press Activate. From then on your customers pay by scanning a Swish QR code on your booking page, and the booking confirms itself the moment the payment goes through.
