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 cases.
Step 2: Design your implementation
Once the use cases are defined, your Adyen contact will work with you to design your implementation. The design includes determining:
- The setup of your business based on how your brand interacts with your users, their customers, and the card schemes.
- 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 you can send the fees to your platform and the remaining to your user.
- How to pay out.
- How to generate financial reports and reconcile balances.
Step 3: Get your test accounts
After you have designed your implementation, your Adyen contact will provide you with your Adyen test credentials.
