Order or return terminals

Here we describe how you can:

• Order a terminal from Adyen using your Customer Area.

  It is also possible to order terminals using API calls.

• Return or replace an Adyen-supplied terminal.
• Receive Terminal Order notifications

Order terminals and accessories

For testing, you can order test payment terminals and an Adyen test card from your test Customer Area. With the test card, you can make payments on the test terminals. These are dummy payments that do not result in actual credits or debits to a live bank account.

When you're ready to go live, you need to order terminals from your live Customer Area. These are terminals that can make live payments.

Place a sales order

For this task you need to have the following role:

• Merchant terminal order role

To order payment terminals and accessories:

1. Log in to your Customer Area.
2. Switch to the merchant account that you want to place the order from.
3. Go to Point of sale > Orders and returns.
4. Select New sales order.
5. Select the country where the products will be used. This determines the plug type for the products.
6. Select the terminals and accessories you want to order and add them to your cart.

   When ordering test terminals, don't forget to add a test card to your order if you don't have one yet.

7. Select Checkout.
8. Provide the Shipping address and a Purchase order number. You can select an existing delivery address, or add a new address.
9. Select Continue to order summary and check. As long as you haven't placed the order yet, you can make any changes you like.
10. Select Place order.

We keep you up to date on the status of your order through email messages and in your Customer Area > Orders and returns. Your order will be dispatched from our warehouse within two business days. You can then track your order delivery.

When your terminal arrives you will need to board it. This connects the terminal to the internet, and associates it with one of your physical stores.

Return or replace terminals

If your Adyen payment terminal is faulty, you have to place a return order or a replacement order in your Customer Area. We'll send you packaging and instructions to return the faulty terminal free of charge using a courier company of our choice.

• Return order: Return an old terminal. If you need a new terminal to replace the old one, you have to place a separate sales order.
• Replacement order: Return an old terminal and order a new one in the same request. This is possible if you're using our Terminal Replacement Service. To set this up, contact your Account Manager or our Support Team.

Troubleshoot first

Before returning or replacing a terminal, follow the steps in our terminal troubleshooting guide. This can resolve around 80% of terminal issues.

If the troubleshooting steps don't solve the problem, you may need to contact our POS Support Team, or return the terminal.

Place a return or replacement order

Return and replacement orders must contain the terminal serial number and an indication of the problem. When you are returning multiple terminals, you may prefer to upload a CSV file with those details.

For this task you need to have the following roles:

• Merchant terminal return role
• Merchant terminal replacement role

To place a return or replacement order:

1. Find the serial numbers of the terminals you want to return or replace.

   The terminal serial number is shown:

   • On the underside of the terminal. Example: S/N:123-456-789.
   • In the info screen. Example: V400m-123456789.
     To open the info screen, press 5 and then the Confirm button. On some models, it is Confirm and then 5 or both buttons at the same time.
2. Optional. If you are returning multiple terminals, prepare a CSV file with the required details.
3. Log in to your Customer Area.
4. Switch to your merchant account.
5. Go to Point of sale > Orders and returns and select New return / replacement order.
6. Select New request.
7. Select the option to return terminals or the option to replace terminals (available if you signed up for this).

8. To provide the serial numbers and problem information, either:

   • Specify terminals one-by-one: Enter the serial number, select the problem category, optionally enter a problem description, and select Continue. To specify another terminal, select Add more items and repeat.

   or

   • Upload the CSV file you prepared earlier. If an error message appears, fix the error in the CSV file and try again.
9. Select Continue to shipping details and provide the Shipping address and a Purchase order number. You can select an existing delivery address, or add a new address.
10. Select Continue to summary and check. As long as you haven't placed the return or replacement order yet, you can make any changes you like.
11. Select Submit request.

We keep you up to date on the status of your order through email messages and in your Customer Area > Orders and returns. You can track the delivery. When you receive the return packaging, follow the included instructions to return the terminal.

Preparing a CSV file for multiple terminals

When you return or replace a terminal, you need to specify the terminal serial number and the type of problem. If you are returning multiple terminals you can provide these details in a comma separated values (CSV) file.

The CSV file should have the following fields:

The first line should have the field names, and each subsequent line should have the details for a single terminal.

Example CSV file:

deviceModel,serialNumber,problemCategory,description
Verifone.E355,123-456-789,Display failure,lorem ipsum
Verifone.E355,234-567-890,Hardware damage,

Cancel an order

After you have placed an order, it's no longer possible to change it. But if we haven't processed the order yet, you can cancel the order.

To cancel an order:

1. Log in to your Customer Area.
2. Switch to your merchant account.
3. Go to Point of sale > Orders and returns.
4. View the Status of the request: Placed means it has not been processed and can be cancelled.
5. Select the request and select Cancel this order.

Track delivery

For each shipment from our warehouse, a track and trace is created with the courier company. To track your delivery:

1. Log in to your Customer Area.
2. Switch to your merchant account.
3. Go to Point of sale > Orders and returns.
4. On the row of the order, in the Track & trace column, select the name of the courier company.
   You are redirected to a site where you can track your order.

Terminal Order notifications

To stay informed about your order, you can subscribe to Terminal Order notifications. These notifications occur at certain steps in the logistical process and contain information such as shipment date, terminal serial numbers, and track & trace number. We send notifications as an HTTP callback (webhook) to your server.

Receive notifications

To set up receiving Terminal Order notifications, follow the general instructions to set up notifications. In summary:

1. Expose an endpoint on your server where you want to receive the notifications.
2. Set up the notification in your Customer Area as described, but select Terminal Order Notification (not Standard Notification) as the notification type you want to add.
3. Make sure you accept notifications.
4. Test and go live.

Notification content

After you set up the notification type, you will receive Terminal Order notifications with:
