## Introduction

Fortnox is the leading cloud accounting and business software in Sweden and one of the largest in the Nordics, widely used by SMEs and accounting firms. The Chift Fortnox connector exposes Fortnox's bookkeeping features through Chift's unified Accounting API (journals, chart of accounts, ledger/bank accounts, journal & financial entries).

<Info>
  **Production options**

  As an integrator (Chift's client), you first create your own Fortnox developer account and Fortnox app (Client ID / Client Secret). **Developing and testing is free.**

  To move to production, you must choose between **two options**:

  <CardGroup cols={2}>
    <Card title="Private App" icon="lock">
      Can be used with external production accounts. The application **won't be listed on the Fortnox Marketplace** and can only be activated externally (i.e. distributed and activated directly by you for your own customers).

      **No additional requirement** — deploy your integration for your own customers.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Public Marketplace App" icon="store">
      **Listed on the Fortnox Marketplace**, making your integration discoverable by all Fortnox users.

      Requires an **App Partner agreement** + **Fortnox certification** of your app. Fortnox operates a **revenue-share model** on Marketplace apps (partner receives **75%**).
    </Card>
  </CardGroup>

  For up-to-date pricing and partner conditions, see the [Fortnox Developer program](https://www.fortnox.se/developer).
</Info>

<Info>
  **End-user pricing**

  Fortnox is sold to end-users as a **modular subscription**: customers pay a small monthly base fee and then add the modules they need (Bookkeeping, Invoicing, Supplier invoices, Salary, etc.). The Fortnox API only exposes the modules the end-user has actually subscribed to, so the scopes you request must be covered by their plan (otherwise the OAuth flow or API calls will fail with an authorization error).

  Typical modules relevant to the Chift Accounting connector:

  * **Bokföring** (Bookkeeping) — required for chart of accounts, journals and journal entries.
  * **Fakturering** (Invoicing) — required for customer invoices and customers.
  * **Leverantörsfakturor** (Supplier invoices) — required for supplier invoices and suppliers.

  Prices are updated by Fortnox and vary by module and company size. For the current price list, see the official [Fortnox price list](https://www.fortnox.se/produkt/prislista).
</Info>

## Configure Fortnox

### Prerequisites

* A **Fortnox developer account** ([fortnox.se/developer](https://www.fortnox.se/developer)).
* Your own **Fortnox app** — its **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Developing and testing is free.
* For production, one of:
  * **Private App** — no additional requirement.
  * **Public Marketplace App** — an App Partner agreement and Fortnox certification of your app.

### Activation process

Follow these three steps to connect your own Fortnox app to Chift.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register as a Fortnox developer">
    Before you can make any Fortnox API calls, register as a developer at [fortnox.se/developer](https://www.fortnox.se/developer). This gives you access to the Developer Portal, where you create your integration and receive your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/chift/Eujs9ExSIUDg5pbq/images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/fortnox-oauth-client-id.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eujs9ExSIUDg5pbq&q=85&s=2cf0042e0ff9c6aa4c1cbdbab284b924" alt="Fortnox Developer Portal – OAuth Client ID configuration" width="1899" height="734" data-path="images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/fortnox-oauth-client-id.png" />
    </Frame>

    See [Create a developer account & sandbox](#create-a-developer-account-and-sandbox) below for a step-by-step walkthrough of the registration flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your integration">
    Once registered, create an integration record. This is where you configure your **redirect URI**, define your requested **scopes**, and optionally submit for a Fortnox Marketplace listing.

    Set the redirect URI to:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect
    ```

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/chift/Eujs9ExSIUDg5pbq/images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/fortnox-redirect-uri-permissions.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Eujs9ExSIUDg5pbq&q=85&s=0f01349af7cd3f1bd702737261af542b" alt="Fortnox Developer Portal – Redirect URI and Permissions" width="1905" height="737" data-path="images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/fortnox-redirect-uri-permissions.png" />
    </Frame>

    <Warning>
      The scopes enabled on your Fortnox integration must **exactly match** the scopes requested in your OAuth app's authorization flow. Any mismatch will cause the authorization to fail with `2000663: Har inte behörighet för scope`. See the [Fortnox scopes documentation](https://www.fortnox.se/developer/guides-and-good-to-know/scopes).
    </Warning>

    **Common scopes for bookkeeping:** `companyinformation`, `invoice`, `supplierinvoice`, `customer`, `supplier`, `bookkeeping`, `payment`, `settings`, `costcenter`, `project`, `inbox`, `connectfile`.

    <Note>
      Further documentation is coming to explain which scopes to enable depending on your Chift use case.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the connector on Chift">
    In your Chift back office, open the Fortnox connector and toggle activation. You will be prompted to paste your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. End users are then redirected to Fortnox to authorize access via OAuth2.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="Create a developer account & sandbox">
  <Info>
    This walkthrough covers the full Fortnox developer registration flow. The path is the same for Swedish and non-Swedish companies — the only differences are:

    * **Companies registered outside Sweden** must tick the **My company is registered outside of Sweden** box on the registration form (step 3), which removes the Swedish organization number field.
    * **Users without BankID or Freja eID+** (typically foreign citizens) cannot obtain their Fortnox ID automatically and must call Fortnox support to verify their identity at the end of the flow (step 10).
  </Info>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Start the registration">
      Go to [fortnox.se/developer](https://www.fortnox.se/developer) and click **Register now**.

      <Frame>
        <img src="https://mintcdn.com/chift/e9rP4VluFouwyOLC/images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/sandbox-01-register.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=e9rP4VluFouwyOLC&q=85&s=71b70f869c508d2f1ff6cb7dc1926ecc" alt="Fortnox developer landing page with the Register now button" width="1904" height="842" data-path="images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/sandbox-01-register.png" />
      </Frame>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Indicate you are not yet a customer">
      On the *“Are you already a Fortnox customer?”* screen, click **No, I do not have a company in Fortnox**.

      <Frame>
        <img src="https://mintcdn.com/chift/e9rP4VluFouwyOLC/images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/sandbox-02-not-a-customer.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=e9rP4VluFouwyOLC&q=85&s=bc9ed6624a19c71032d0a1d51df50d00" alt="Fortnox screen asking whether you are already a customer" width="1914" height="844" data-path="images/connectors/accounting/fortnox/sandbox-02-not-a-customer.png" />
      </Frame>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Fill in the developer account form">
      On the **Create a developer account** form, keep the **Business** tab selected. If your company is registered outside Sweden, tick **My company is registered outside of Sweden** — this removes the **Organization number** field. Swedish companies leave the box unchecked and fill in their Swedish organization number.

    <Step title="Registration is finalized manually (non-Swedish companies only)">
      For a company registered outside Sweden, the confirmation page explains that **Fortnox support will finalize your registration manually** — there is no self-service *“create your Fortnox ID”* step at this stage. Swedish companies proceed directly to the next step.

    <Step title="Verify your identity">
      Fortnox offers two e-identification methods: **BankID** (requires a Swedish personal identity number) or **Freja eID+** (accepts foreign nationals via passport, but needs a separate app). If you have neither, click **I cannot use e-identification ›** and confirm. You can continue, but you will need to contact Fortnox support at the end of the flow to verify your Fortnox ID.

    <Step title="Save your recovery code">
      Fortnox generates a one-time account-recovery code (used to regain access if you lose your mobile number). **Treat it as a sensitive credential** — store it in a password manager, never in shared documentation. Check the confirmation box and continue.

    <Step title="Contact Fortnox support to verify your ID">
      This step appears only if you skipped e-identification. Call Fortnox support at **0470-78 50 00** and ask them to verify your Fortnox ID.

      <Warning>
        Without **BankID** or **Freja eID+**, this step **cannot be completed online** — verifying your Fortnox ID requires a phone call to Fortnox support. Fortnox acknowledges this gap for foreign citizens in its [customer-verification FAQ](https://support.fortnox.se/hantera-fortnox/abonnemang-och-avtal/faq-kundverifiering); there is currently no committed timeline for a self-service alternative.

## Test Fortnox

Create up to **30 test companies** from the [Test environments](https://developer.fortnox.se/my-account/test-environments) tab of the Fortnox Developer Portal. Test companies behave like real Fortnox companies (same [rate limits](#rate-limits) apply), come with the standard **BAS** chart of accounts and no pre-filled data.

## Connect Fortnox

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

* Help Center article: [Help Center - Fortnox EN](/help/connectors/accounting/fortnox)

## Rate limits

* **300 requests / minute** per Client ID + tenant (i.e. per access token), enforced via a **sliding window of 5 seconds** → **25 requests / 5 s**.
* Exceeding the limit returns **HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests)**; bursts are throttled until the average falls back under the limit.
* The limit scales per tenant: each connected Fortnox company has its own access token and therefore its own 300 req/min budget.

## Technical limitations & specificities

* **Single company currency — SEK.** Fortnox accounts have no per-account currency. On a bank account, the currency is informational (surfaced in the account name), not enforced. On entries, a currency ≠ company currency requires an `exchange_rate` (otherwise `ERROR_CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED`), and amounts are converted to the company currency.
* **Account & journal types are derived, not stored.** `journal_type` and ledger account type are derived from the BAS number ranges / predefined series. A type sent on create is not stored — it's ignored, or validated for consistency (an account type inconsistent with the number range is rejected).
* **Third-party accounts (customer/supplier/employee) on entries.** Fortnox has no native journal ↔ account link and supplier objects carry no dedicated ledger account, so third-party lines must specify `force_general_account` (otherwise a clear "not supported" error is returned).
* **Format constraints:** ledger account number = numeric, `1000–9999`; journal (VoucherSeries) code = 1–10 chars, digits / UPPERCASE only.
* `posted` **is always** `true` for entries — Fortnox posts vouchers immediately (the `posted` input has no effect).
* **Financial entries (bank/cash operations):** items contain only the counterpart line(s) with a signed amount (`+` = into the bank, `−` = out); the bank ledger account is passed via the mandatory query param `financial_counterpart_account`, and the connector adds the balancing bank line (net of the amounts).
* **Chart-of-accounts type filter** exposes only 6 of the 10 possible account types (`bank`, `cash`, `income`, `expense`, `other_expense`, `vat`) — `receivable`, `payable`, `other_financial`, `other` are returned in responses but cannot be filtered.
* **Bank account number range (1920–1999).** In the Swedish BAS chart of accounts, the range `1920–1999` is reserved for bank and cash accounts (*Kassa och bank*). Accounts created via `POST /accounting/bank-accounts` on the Fortnox connector will be allocated within this range.
