Step 1: Get in touch with us
Contact us to register your interest for Adyen for Platforms. We'll get in touch with you to learn about:
- Your business model.
- The regions or countries in which you are you going to process payments.
We'll help you determine whether our current platform capabilities are a good fit for your use case.
Step 2: Design your implementation
Your Adyen contact will work with you to design your implementation. The design includes determining:
- How to onboard and collect data from your users, ensuring that your platform is able to collect the required information and accept document uploads.
- When to split payments, so that you can pass on the sale amount and certain fees to your user, while booking your commission and the remaining fees to your platform.
- How to pay out to your users.
- How to generate financial reports and reconcile balances.
Step 3: Access, set up, and manage your test account
Your Adyen contact sets up your account, after which you'll get your admin credentials to log in to the Balance Platform Customer Area.
In this dashboard, you can:
- Create users to allow members of your organization to manage different functionalities in your Adyen account.
- Access your default API credentials.
- Create new API credentials.
- View and manage the resources in your balance platform, such as account holders (your users) and their balances.
Step 4: Generate API credentials
You can generate your necessary API credentials in the Balance Platform Customer Area.
Adyen APIs Postman collections
Fork our Postman collections in your private workspace to start testing API calls with your own credentials.
You need credentials for the following APIs:
- Legal Entity Management API, to create and manage legal entities that contain the information required for verification checks.
- Configuration API and Transfers API, to create account holders and balance accounts, schedule payouts, transfer funds, or make one-off payouts.
- Checkout API, to process payments for your users.
- Management API, to manage payment methods, stores, and automatically split payments.
Step 5: Build your integration
When you have your test accounts, start building your Adyen for Platforms integration. Refer to our integration checklist.
Step 6: Apply for your live account
After you have built and tested your integration in the test environment, you're ready to go live.
Reach out to your Adyen contact to take your account live.
Step 7: Configure your live account
The setup and configuration from your test Adyen for Platforms account is not replicated to your live Adyen for Platforms account. You need to replicate your test account setup in the live environment.
Follow our go-live checklist to make sure your integration is ready.
