Updated over 2 months ago

🔎 Step 1: Locate the Terminal

  1. Log into Adyen

  2. From the left-hand menu, select In-person payments

  3. Click Terminals

You can locate the terminal by:

  • Typing the serial number in the search bar

  • Navigating to In-person payments → Orders and returns to find the original order and access the device from there


☑️ Step 2: Select the Terminal

Once located, you can initiate reassignment in three different ways:

🗂 Option 1 – Bulk Reassignment (Best for Multiple Devices)

  • Click the small checkbox next to the device model

  • A menu will appear at the bottom

  • Select Reassign


⚙️ Option 2 – Device Settings Page

  • Hover over the terminal line (it will turn blue)

  • Click the device

  • You will be taken to the device’s Settings

  • Click More options

  • Select Reassign


⋯ Option 3 – Three-Dot Menu

  • Scroll to the right on the terminal row

  • Click the white box with three dots

  • Select Reassign

All three methods lead to the same reassignment workflow.


📌 Step 3: Confirm Reassignment

After selecting Reassign, a pop-up titled Terminal Reassignment will appear:

If your terminal(s) are currently boarded, please be aware that all reassignments will only be effective after your terminal(s) synchronize with the Adyen platform.

Click Got it!


🔁 Step 4: Choose Reassignment Type

You will be given two options:

📦 Back to Inventory

  • Terminals assigned to inventory cannot be boarded

  • They cannot process payments

  • Use this option if the device will not be used for an extended period

🏪 To Store

  • Terminals assigned to a store can be boarded

  • They can process in-store payments

  • Use this option if the terminal is currently in use or will be used soon

Select To Store if reassigning to a new location.


🔍 Step 5: Select the Store

After selecting To Store, the screen will change to Choose Store.

  • Use the search bar to search by:

    • City

    • Address

    • Store ID

Once a valid store is selected, it will display the store ID and address for confirmation.

Click Next.


✅ Step 6: Final Confirmation

You will be asked to confirm:

  • The number of terminals being reassigned

  • The Store ID they are being reassigned to

Click Next to complete the reassignment.

You will then see confirmation that the request has been submitted.


⏳ Step 7: Wait for Synchronization

After reassignment:

  • The terminal will display “Reassignment in progress” (in yellow) on the Terminals page

  • You must wait until the reassignment is complete

  • Once complete, you can re-board the terminal under the new store

Reassignment does not take effect until the terminal synchronizes with the Adyen platform.
