Setting up your Adyen account
Back to topFirst, you need an Adyen online account with an associated merchant account! Learn more about Getting Started with Adyen.
Updating your web service user
Back to topOnce you have your Adyen account, you need to obtain some information on your account's Web Service User, which takes payments through the Adyen API.
Log into your Adyen account and select Users from the Accounts option in the top-right menu.
A Web Service User is created for your account by default. You must know your API Key and Origin Key to complete the setup in Checkfront.
Click on the Name of the Web Service User to access the Edit Web Service User page where this information resides.
First, Generate a New API Key and then secondly, Generate an Origin Key, saving both for entry into the Checkfront setup form in the next step.
When generating an Origin Key, please ensure the domain name entered does not contain 'www.'
Your website domain (https://your.domain) must be formatted like this:
https://companyname.checkfront.com
If the domain name is entered incorrectly, this will only become apparent when you test your payment page in Checkfront, so double-check your entry now!
Configuring API Response settings
Back to topWithin API URLS (Account > Configure > API URLS > Additional data settings), you need to include the following data within the response:
- Authorized Amount Value (Payment amount processed)
- Card/Card Summary (Last 4 digits of the card number)
- Recurring Details (allows for rebilling)
- Variant (Payment Method)
Enabling refunds in Adyen
Back to topRefunds processed through Checkfront are sent as requests to Adyen, which posts a response back at a later date and time.
To handle these communications, we need to configure where responses from Adyen post. This is done in Adyen within Server communication settings (Account > Configure > Server communication).
Simply add a Standard Notification, specifying the Transport URL and selecting the Active checkbox, leaving the other settings with their defaults. There is no need to set the Username and Password.
The Transport URL should be formatted as follows:
https://{youraccount name}.checkfront.com/notify/Adyen/
If you do not configure these settings, refunds remain pending within Checkfront.
