Adyen Payment
A set of API endpoints that allow you to initiate, settle, and modify payments on the Adyen payments platform. You can use the API to accept card payments (including One-Click and 3D Secure), bank transfers, ewallets, and many other payment methods.
This API is inactive.
- If you are building a new integration, use the Checkout API instead.
- If you have an existing integration using this API, reach out to your Adyen contact and migrate to the Checkout API. The Checkout API enables your online payments integration to accept all supported payment methods, use the latest features, and access more benefits.
To learn more about the API, visit Classic integration.
Authentication
You need an API credential to authenticate to the API.
If using an API key, add an X-API-Key header with the API key as the value, for example:
curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
...
Alternatively, you can use the username and password to connect to the API using basic authentication, for example:
curl
-u "ws@Company.YOUR_COMPANY_ACCOUNT":"YOUR_BASIC_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
...
Versioning
Payments API supports versioning using a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format: "vXX", where XX is the version number.
For example:
https://pal-test.adyen.com/pal/servlet/Payment/v68/authorise
Going live
To authenticate to the live endpoints, you need an API credential from your live Customer Area.
The live endpoint URLs contain a prefix which is unique to your company account:
https://{PREFIX}-pal-live.adyenpayments.com/pal/servlet/Payment/v68/authorise
Get your {PREFIX} from your live Customer Area under Developers > API URLs > Prefix.
