Our Standalone solution
If you don't need a fully featured API integration, you may want to use our standalone terminal solution.
We offer countertop and portable terminals that have a built-in printer. These can be used as standalone terminals.
Adyen offers a range of the latest terminals from various manufacturers. When used in an API integration, most terminal models support:
- Card, mobile wallet, and QR code payment methods.
- Multiple languages.
- Shopper recognition.
- Tipping.
- Tax-free shopping.
- Customizable screen and receipt logos.
- Using beacons to connect your cash register to the nearest terminal.
Each terminal model offers specific features, such as a large screen or a built-in printer, which you should consider when you choose terminals for your integration.
Step 1: Choose terminals
You may want to choose one model of terminal for your integration, or use a combination of different terminal models.
We offer terminals for the following use-cases:
- Countertop: A stationary terminal with a small footprint. Great for retail.
- Mobile: Small and battery-powered, these terminals are great in an endless aisle solution. In case of network connection issues, some models offer fallback to a 2G, 3G, or 4G GPRS cellular connection. There's also an all-in-one model that lets you run Android apps.
- Multimedia: Its large screen provides a rich multimedia experience, and elegantly collects input from your shoppers.
- Portable: Due to its built-in printer, these battery-powered terminals are ideal for hospitality, food and beverage, or high-end retail stores. In case of network connection issues, they offer fallback to a 2G, 3G, or 4G GPRS cellular connection. There's also an all-in-one model that lets you run Android apps.
-
Unattended: Self-service solution for use in unattended environments such as your kiosk or vending machines.
Many European mobile network operators will discontinue support for 3G from 2020 onwards. If you're located in Europe, terminals with 4G fallback may be a better option.

Once you've chosen the terminal that fits your business needs, you can order it from your Adyen Customer Area.
For information on setting up a terminal, refer to our terminal manuals.
Step 2: Order terminals
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.
When your terminal arrives you will need to board the terminal. This connects the terminal to the internet, and associates it with one of the physical stores that are defined in your Adyen account structure.
