It is widely used by large enterprises and platforms for its broad international reach, direct acquiring across major card schemes, and unified reporting across channels. Adyen is particularly strong in Europe, where it holds its own banking licence, and supports merchants across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. The connection to Adyen uses API credentials (a Merchant Account ID, an API key, and your account's domain prefix) rather than OAuth. ## At a glance | | | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- | | **Website** | [adyen.com](https://www.adyen.com) | | **Type** | Gateway | | **Connection** | API keys | | **Links** | [Dashboard](https://ca-live.adyen.com/ca/ca/login.shtml) · [Sandbox](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/login.shtml) · [Support](https://help.adyen.com/) · [Status](https://status.adyen.com/) · [Terms](https://www.adyen.com/legal/terms-and-conditions) · [Privacy](https://www.adyen.com/policies-and-disclaimer/privacy-policy) · [Test cards](/payment-providers/adyen-test-cards/) | ## Where it operates Merchants can onboard Adyen in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Malaysia, Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam. ## Payment methods Through our Adyen integration, merchants can accept: - **Cards:** Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, and Maestro - **Network tokens:** cards can be paid and saved as card network tokens, which is what Apple Pay and Google Pay use - **In person:** Card-present payments via an Adyen point-of-sale (POS) terminal, where POS is enabled for your platform (a platform-level setting) Our integration also supports MOTO (mail order / telephone order) for keyed-in card payments, card tokenisation for saved cards and recurring payments, and AVS (Address Verification Service).
