The Standalone solution lets you process payments through Adyen using our payment terminals without needing a POS app.<\/p>\n

Here we describe how you can build such a solution in a test environment before going live. Make sure you have read Get started with Adyen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Set up your Adyen test account<\/h2>\n

After signing up for a test account<\/a>, you have access to your test Customer Area<\/a> where you can set up a structure for your Adyen account. What structure is best for you comes down to your business needs.<\/p>\n

You need to set up your account structure again when you go live, but the basic structure for the test environment should reflect the structure that you plan to have for your live environment.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Determine the structure of your Adyen account, based on our documentation about the company account, merchant accounts, and stores.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Request the merchant accounts that you need. Provide as many details as possible and ensure you submit the correct documents and links. This will make the application process smoother and faster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    If you require stores in your account structure, wait for confirmation that your merchant accounts are created and then submit your store request form.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Optional. Add one or more stores to your merchant accounts.<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/a><\/div>\n\n

    2. Order test payment terminals<\/h2>\n

    Now it is time to focus on the devices for processing payments. These devices are sometimes referred to as pin entry devices (PED) or points of interaction (POI), but we call them terminals.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Choose the terminals that you want to use. Adyen has a wide range of terminal models for different business needs, but keep in mind that for compliance reasons a standalone terminal must<\/em> have a built-in printer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      When you know what terminals you want, it is time to order a test card and one or more terminals for testing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It will take at least four business days before your terminals arrive.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Select terminals<\/h6>

      Choose one or more terminal models with a built-in printer.<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/a>

      Order terminals<\/h6>

      Order one or more test terminals and a test card.<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/a><\/div>\n\n

      3. Prepare your terminals<\/h2>\n

      Before you can use your terminals, you need to configure them in your Customer Area<\/a> or using API calls<\/a>. You can do this at different levels: company account level, merchant account level, store level, and terminal level. Settings at the company level apply to all terminals under the company. Settings at the merchant account level override settings inherited from the company level, and so on.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Set up your terminals to operate as standalone terminals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Configure terminal settings and payment features. For example, you can add wallet payment methods or add branding to your terminals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        Optional. Assign the test terminals to a store. This makes it easier to get your terminals up and running when you receive them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
