Do I have to open Vipps on my phone to tap?

No, you don’t need to open Vipps to tap. On an iPhone, double press the side button, unlock your phone, and tap. On an Android, unlock your phone and tap.

But for this to work, you need to do two things first:

1. Activate tapping (prepare your card for tapping with Vipps)
2. Set Vipps as your default payment app in your phone settings

You can find instructions for both in Vipps.
