Adyen

Adyen is a Dutch company that provides a payment platform for businesses. The platform enables companies to accept payments from customers all over the world in different currencies and via various payment methods such as credit cards, bank transfers and e-wallets.

Adyen also offers tools for fraud prevention, risk management and the analysis of payment data. The platform is capable of handling large transaction volumes and is used by a wide range of companies worldwide, including Airbnb, Spotify, Uber and Netflix. Adyen is headquartered in Amsterdam and is listed on the Dutch stock exchange.

Of course we have known Adyen for years, but we have only been a genuine technology partner since 2021. When selecting the right payment provider for our client Sport 2000, for whom we designed and implemented a truly complete best-of-breed stack at the time, we chose Adyen.

Easy integration: thanks to the many available extensions and plugins, the payment gateway is especially easy to integrate into a wide variety of e-commerce platforms and solutions. This made getting started with Adyen effortless. If no plugin is available for a shop system, there is also an extensive, well-documented API. And today we know there are several more arguments in favor of Adyen, which is why we have since used the solution in almost all of our more recent projects.

Adyen differs from other payment providers in several ways:

Global coverage: Adyen offers global coverage with a single integration. It enables companies to accept payments from customers all over the world in different currencies and via various payment methods.
Omnichannel: Adyen offers omnichannel support and enables companies to accept payments across various sales channels such as e-commerce, mobile apps, brick-and-mortar retail stores and in-app purchases.
Fraud prevention: Adyen has a built-in fraud prevention feature that provides fraud detection, risk assessment and defense mechanisms.
Flexibility: Adyen gives companies the ability to tailor their payment processing to their specific needs. For example, companies can add their own payment methods and processing steps.
Data analytics: Adyen provides companies with comprehensive analysis of payment data, enabling them to make well-informed business decisions.

All in all, Adyen offers a fully integrated payment platform that gives companies effective, flexible and global payment processing, one that also takes country-specific particularities into account especially well.

We most recently used Adyen in the setups for sport2000.de and babyone.de. Adyen's payment platform is also currently being implemented in the ongoing setup for schuhe.de and the commerce platforms we manage for BVB.

Adyen is an incredibly innovative and inspiring payment platform that helps companies of all kinds take their business to the next level. With its global coverage and support for omnichannel transactions, Adyen is a benchmark in the world of payments. It enables companies to focus on what matters, namely growing their business, by providing a reliable and efficient payment infrastructure.

That makes Adyen the standard for us when it comes to a comprehensive PSP. The broad availability of modules makes integration easy, and the API also handles complex requirements. With Adyen as a partner, merchants worldwide are prepared for a very wide range of payment methods and can rely on a proven approach to fraud prevention and payment processing.
