Before you can start integrating payments, you need access to an Adyen account that is properly configured within the Valpay ecosystem.
⚠️ Important: Do Not Create an Adyen Account Directly
To ensure full compatibility with Valpay, you must not create an Adyen account directly through Adyen.
Instead contact the Valpay team to request a test account
If you create an account independently:
It will not be linked to Valpay
You will not have access to required configurations
Certain features and flows used within Valpay will not work correctly
What Valpay Provides
When you request access, Valpay will provision an Adyen test account that is:
Pre-configured for use within Valpay
Linked to the appropriate Valpay setup
Ready for both online and in-person payment testing
House Account for Testing
As part of your setup, you will receive access to a house account.
This account allows you to:
Run test transactions safely
Validate your integration end-to-end
Simulate different payment scenarios
The house account is intended for development and testing purposes only and is already configured to work with Valpay.
What You’ll Receive
Once your account is created, you will typically be provided with:
Access to the Adyen Customer Area (test environment)
A merchant account linked to Valpay
API credentials (covered in the next section)
Next Step
After your account is provisioned, continue with:
API Credentials to retrieve the keys required for your integration
Key Takeaway
Always use a Valpay-provisioned Adyen account to ensure your integration works correctly. This guarantees access to all required configurations, features, and testing capabilities.
