Showing debit and credit cards separately

Components can show separate payment forms for debit cards and credit cards. Here are example use cases for this feature:

  • In Brazil, Mexico, and Finland, many shoppers use combo cards that can make both debit or credit transactions. Separate forms for Debit Card and Credit Card lets the shopper choose the type of transaction.
  • To accept card payments in Sweden, local legislation requires you to show the debit card payment options before the credit card ones.

Combo cards

For debit transactions, we highly recommend using 3D Secure and Automatic Capture due to some issuers' restrictions.

Sweden

To comply with local legislation, set countryCode to SE in your request. Components shows the payment form for Debit Card before the one for Credit Card.

Card brand recognition

When the shopper is entering their card details, Components tries to recognize the card brand. When successful, Components renders the brand icon and the corresponding input field for the card security code (CVC, CVV, or CID).

Co-badged cards

Co-badged cards are rendered by the Component according to the co-badged card regulations for the applicable regions. This means that Components renders all supported brands, and allows the cardholder to choose their preferred brand.

Stored card payments

Adyen's tokenization service allows you to securely store shopper's payment details for future payments. You first need to create a token.

Accepting installment payments

Test and go live

If your client-side integration isn't ready, you can test API requests with encrypted card details by adding a test_ prefix to the test card details.

Before making live card payments:

  1. Test your integration using our test card numbers. You can check the status of test payments in your Customer Area > Transactions > Payments.

  2. Add the cards that you want to accept in your live Customer Area.

  3. Before you can start accepting card payments in the live environment, you need to assess your PCI DSS compliance and submit the required Self-Assessment Questionnaire A document.
