Verification codes

Review the codes that Adyen sends to inform you of verification errors.

This page is for classic Adyen for Platforms integrations. If you are just starting your implementation, refer to our new integration guide instead.

When a verification error occurs, Adyen informs you by sending verification codes and descriptions through notification webhooks or API responses.

The descriptions are for you and should not be shared with your account holders as they might communicate information that can be used by malicious third parties. It is better to communicate general failures and request account holders to re-upload their details.

On this page, you'll find verification codes for version 5 and later. For version 4 and earlier, refer to v4 verification codes.
