Accept Adyen
without building the integration
Adyen is an enterprise payment platform that combines gateway, risk and acquiring in one contract, so a merchant deals with a single counterparty instead of stitching together a gateway and a separate acquirer. It is built for large, multi-market volume and prices accordingly.

What is Adyen?
- Coverage
-
Global, with local acquiring across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Adyen sets a minimum volume expectation, so it suits established merchants rather than new stores.
Among the markets Adyen serves — their own list is authoritative (opens in new tab).
- Currencies
-
- EUR
- GBP
- USD
Among those supported. Which ones your account can charge in depends on its registered country.
- Fees
- Set and billed by Adyen, and published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top, at any volume.
- Official resources
- Website (opens in new tab) · Developer docs (opens in new tab)
Written against Adyen's own documentation on . This page deliberately states no fees, no counts and no completeness claims, because those change without notice — for anything you are about to build on, Adyen's own documentation (opens in new tab) is the authority.

Adyen fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your Adyen transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What Adyen charges
- Adyen sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from Adyen changes what you pay Adyen and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. It settles in EUR, GBP, USD, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 4 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- Adyen publishes current rates on their pricing page (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with Adyen
A direct Adyen integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- API key plus merchant account identifier, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- HMAC-signed notification, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side payment result re-check against the Adyen API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when Adyen is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across Adyen and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
