Introducing the Terminal API
Our web-based Terminal API is a new way to integrate your payment terminals. It's easy to configure and can be used with cloud based systems or via your local network.
Cut out the time and effort required to update your libraries and improve the payments flow for shoppers with Adyen’s Terminal API.
With a web-based API as the tech behind your point of sale (POS) system, it’s simple to initiate payments from a broad range of clients. This includes web browsers, mobile devices, tablets and even your traditional cash register systems. Using a standardized protocol, it establishes communication from the POS to the terminal.
If your terminal is free to connect to the Adyen platform, you can start payments and update software remotely and securely. It’s a change that will benefit retailers and improve the transaction flow for shoppers, whatever the preferred method of payment.
