Adding a payment method on the test environment

You can easily activate a wide range of payment methods through our self-service feature in the Customer Area. 

  1. Log in to your Customer Area (Test or Live).
  2. Select the desired merchant account.
  3. Go to Settings > Payment methods > Request payment methods.
  4. Use the search function to find the payment method you need and select it.

Additional details

Most payment methods don’t require additional details and the setup is instant. The two exceptions are ApplePay and PayPal which involve a similar set-up to the Live environment. Following, you’ll find a comprehensive list of payment methods that you can activate yourself for the Test environment. You can find the equivalent list for the Test environment on this Help page.

You can find a full list of the payment methods below, under “DIRECT SETUP AVAILABLE”.

PayPal

You will be prompted to provide the following:

  • Email
    • You can use any email address to activate PayPal. It doesn’t have to be your PayPal business email.
    • A PayPal activation link will be sent to the email you provide. This link is required to inform PayPal that you are authorizing Adyen to process transactions on your PayPal account.
    • Please note, the activation link will expire in 7 days. Ensure you complete the process within this time frame.
  • Enable separate Authorisation and Capture (opt in)
    • Make sure to select the same capture flow that is configured on PayPal's side:
      • Direct Capture (SALE) is the default configuration. The payment is authorized and captured immediately – i.e. if the shopper's funds to cover the payment are retrieved during the same transaction session. This is recommended, as this flow reduces the risk of captures failing (per PayPal’s authorization and honor period).
      • Authorize & capture (AUTH), the payment is first authorized; capture can occur immediately or separately, at a later time.
  • Enable PayPal recurring (opt in)
    • Please contact PayPal support prior to enabling this.
