Adyen's components are prebuilt libraries that you can seamlessly integrate into your platform’s user interface (UI). These components are designed to minimize your engineering investment while providing you with flexibility and control over the look and feel of the UI.
You can use our components for a variety of tasks, from collecting user data for payments or during onboarding to showcasing interactive dashboards for your users, such as an overview of transactions, payouts, and other reporting data.
Components are suitable for your platform if:
- It has a basic user interface where you can embed components.
- Its backend application has an API layer with which you can initialize components.
When using components, you can benefit from:
- Ease of integration and low maintenance. Components are ready-to-use libraries that require minimal code to initialize components.
- Faster time to market. Components eliminate the need for custom design and reduce developers' efforts for integration with Adyen.
- Customizability. You can change the look and feel of components to match your branding style.
- Up-to-date functionality. Components are developed to work efficiently with Adyen APIs, ensuring you stay updated with your Adyen integration.
- Latest technologies and design trends. Adyen uses modern frameworks to provide the best performance on the web and mobile and to be consistent with current design trends.
Supported countries/regions
Adyen's components are available for users operating in any of the countries and regions where Adyen for Platforms is supported.
Component libraries
The available components are grouped based on their location in the payment process, such as before and after the payment. This way, you can quickly find the appropriate component to implement into your user flow.
How it works
The integration of components involves both server-side and client-side processes. On the server side, a single API call is made to create a session token. On the client side, the component uses the session token obtained from the server to request necessary data and manage user interactions. The simplified flow can be summarized as follows:
- The user logs in to your platform.
- Your server validates the user and creates a session token that includes their required user roles.
- Your client then creates an instance of the component using the session token from the server.
- The user interacts with the component to complete a needed task.
Integration steps
The process of integrating components into your platform's UI is as follows. Specific components may require additional steps or conditions. See the respective integration guides for more information.
- Create an authentication session from your server.
- Install the component library on your front end.
- Initialize the component(s).
- Customize the components to match your platform's look and feel.
