The Integration Guide makes integrating with Adyen faster, smoother, and more efficient through:
Personalized integration steps: The Guide provides tailored guidance based on your business type, simplifying complex integration requirements.

What’s in the Guide, and how do you use it?
The Guide breaks the integration process into three main parts: Introduction, Scope, and Checklist. Let us ‘guide’ you through them.
Introduction
This section starts with a high-level overview and essential resources to get you oriented to Adyen's payment ecosystem. It covers important topics such as the payment lifecycle, Adyen-specific terminology, account structure, API, and webhooks setup. This section can help you brush up on some knowledge as preparation.
Scope
In this section, you can scope your payment integration by answering questions about your business needs and ideal shopper experience. This section helps you define your integration requirements and spot the payment functionalities essential to your digital business.
Checklist
Based on your scoping, you can generate a customized implementation checklist that defines an optimal integration for your business with Adyen. The checklist outlines the steps needed to complete your integration, outlining the tasks around operational setup, checkout experience, and payment modifications. The recommendations are continuously updated with Adyen's evolving best practices to keep your integration at par with payment innovations.
This guided approach helps you achieve an optimal integration with Adyen by reducing friction and saving you time now and in the future.
What is the current scope, and what's next?
The Integration Guide is available for all new digital and card-only merchants onboarded to Adyen as of July 1.
