This page lists payment method variants. A payment method variant identifies the payment method used for a transaction. Adyen returns variants in payment data, and you can use them in API request fields that accept payment method variants.
Payment method types and variants
Adyen uses two kinds of values. A payment method type is the value that you send to add a payment method with the Management API, for example visa or applepay. A payment method variant identifies a payment method in detail, for example visadebit or mc_applepay. Adyen determines the variant from the payment details that the shopper uses. Some values, such as visa, are both.
The following table shows where each value appears, and whether you send it or Adyen returns it.
| Where the value appears | What the value identifies | Example |
|---|---|---|
| POST /merchants/{merchantId}/paymentMethodSettings requests that you send | A payment method type in the type field:
|
Cards: visa, mc Wallets: applepay, googlepay, vipps |
| GET /merchants/{merchantId}/paymentMethodSettings responses that Adyen returns |
|
mc, applepay, or mc_applepay |
| Processing data that Adyen returns | A payment method variant in:
|
visadebit or visa_googlepay |
| POST /payments requests and POST /merchants/{merchantId}/splitConfigurations requests that you send | A payment method variant in fields that accept variants:
|
visa_applepay |
Payment method types and variants in GET responses
A /merchants/{merchantId}/paymentMethodSettings response contains the payment method types that you added, such as mc. For wallets, the response can contain two kinds of values:
- The wallet that you added, for example applepay. It appears where you added it: for the merchant account, or for a specific store.
- A payment method variant that Adyen adds for each card scheme that you added, for example mc_applepay.
The following table shows which values you get in each case:
| Where you added the wallet | GET request | Values in the response |
|---|---|---|
| Merchant account | Without the storeId query parameter | The wallet, such as applepay, and the payment method variants of your stores, such as mc_applepay. |
| Merchant account | With the storeId query parameter | The payment method variants of the store, such as mc_applepay. The wallet is not in the response, because you added it for the merchant account. |
| Store | With the storeId query parameter | The wallet, such as applepay, and the payment method variants of the store, such as mc_applepay. |
The following sections show the most common payment method variants for each payment method. Depending on your configuration, Adyen can return other variants.
For the payment method types that you can send in Management API requests, see the Management API section.
