Answer: No, Adyen does not currently support surcharging on Pay by Link transactions.
🔍 Why Surcharging Isn’t Supported on Pay by Link
Surcharging typically requires:
• Real-time control over the payment method selection
• The ability to apply fees dynamically based on card brand, funding type, or channel
• A checkout or integration flow where a merchant-controlled system can calculate and present the fee prior to authorization
Pay by Link, on the other hand:
• Is a hosted payment page managed by Adyen
• Offers limited flexibility in customizing fee logic or injecting surcharges
• Does not allow merchants to manipulate the payment flow to add fees before authorization
✅ Alternatives for Surcharging with Adyen
If surcharging is critical to your use case, consider:
• Custom integrations using Adyen’s Drop-in or Components where you can apply logic before the payment request
• POS terminals (like P400 or V400m), where surcharging can be configured per Adyen’s terminal configuration
• Reviewing local regulations to ensure surcharging is allowed in your market and card network rules are followed
