## Introduction

Fiken is a Norwegian cloud-based accounting software built for small businesses, freelancers, and self-employed professionals. It combines bookkeeping, invoicing, expense tracking, VAT reporting, and bank reconciliation in a single, easy-to-use platform tailored to Norwegian accounting standards and tax requirements. With its automation features and accountant-friendly workflows, Fiken helps businesses keep their finances organized and stay compliant without specialized accounting expertise.

## Configure Fiken

**Prerequisite(s)**

* A Fiken account with developer mode enabled
* Authentication can happen in two ways:
  * **Using the Chift integration app** – the easiest option. Ask your Customer Success Manager to add Chift's OAuth2 keys to the platform, and your customers will be ready to connect.
  * **Creating your own integration app in Fiken** – register your own app in Fiken and use the generated (test) API keys for your first 5 customers. Once at least 3 customers have a working integration, notify the Fiken support team; they will verify and certify the integration and return a set of production API keys to be used for all subsequent customers.

**Activation Process**

**1. Enable developer mode**

Log in to your Fiken account and go to **Rediger konto → Profil → Andre innstillinger**. Check the box indicating you are a developer.

**2. Create an OAuth2 application**

* Click the **API** tab under **Brukerinnstillinger**
* Create a new application
* Set the redirect URI to `https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect`
* Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**

**3. Activate the connector on Chift**

In your Chift back office, open the Fiken connector and toggle activation. You will be prompted to paste your Client ID and Client Secret.

End-users will be redirected to Fiken to authorize access via OAuth2.

<Note>
  During development, Fiken allows up to **5 connected users** for free. For production use, email `api@fiken.no`.
</Note>

## Testing Fiken

To create a test company, register a company that is not listed in Brønnøysundregistrene and contact `hjelp@fiken.no` for extended trial access.

## Connecting Fiken

To activate a connection with Fiken, users will have to go through the following steps:

* English article: [Help Center - Fiken EN](https://help.chift.app/articles/5984410532-fiken?lang=en)
* French article: [Help Center - Fiken FR](https://help.chift.app/articles/5984410532-fiken?lang=fr)
