Across Sweden and Denmark, similar phrases exist (e.g., 'I lige måde' in Danish). It is a shared cultural trait of the region. In a business setting, this phrase is professional yet warm, showing you are a team player. Cashiers and service staff use this constantly. It is the standard way to end a transaction politely.
Don't overthink it

The Norwegian Smile
Pair this phrase with a small smile. It makes the interaction much warmer and more 'hyggelig'.
