What Adyen Offers for Hospitality
Adyen’s hospitality platform supports multiple channel card acceptance, white-labeled terminals, and automated revenue sharing across a property’s payment flows. Its tokenized card technology lets guests present a card once at check-in and use it for charges throughout their stay without needing to re-present it.
Adyen for Platforms also offers money management capabilities for hotel groups, including short-term capital access and the ability to issue physical or virtual cards. In late 2025, Adyen released the S1E4 Pro and S1F4 Pro terminals, built to withstand demanding environments such as busy restaurants, bars, and high-volume venues, with rollout continuing through 2026.
Here is what becomes part of the same automated flow once Adyen connects to ChargeAutomation:
Guest payments processed through Adyen alongside other gateways
Security deposit pre-authorization
Guest ID verification and digital signature
Scheduled or one-time payment charges
AI-timed upsell offers
How ChargeAutomation Uses Adyen
ChargeAutomation connects to Adyen as one of 120 or more supported payment gateways, allowing properties to process guest payments through Adyen within the same automated flow used across every connected gateway.
This pairs Adyen’s tokenized card technology with ChargeAutomation’s guest verification, security deposit pre-authorization, and upsell automation. Reservations processed through Adyen follow the same check-in and payment rules as reservations processed through any other connected gateway.
Connecting the two platforms typically involves the following steps:
Add Adyen as a connected gateway in ChargeAutomation
Confirm your existing Adyen merchant account details
Set payment and deposit rules that apply across all connected gateways
Test a sample transaction through Adyen
Enable guest verification and upsell automation
What This Combination Automates
Once Adyen is connected, payments processed through it follow the same scheduling, deposit, and verification rules configured across ChargeAutomation.
This lets properties combine Adyen’s payment infrastructure with a consistent guest verification and upsell flow rather than managing them as separate systems.
Here is what typically becomes part of the same automated flow:
Tokenized card technology for repeat charges during a stay
One consistent payment and verification flow regardless of gateway
Fewer manual reconciliation steps across payment methods
Support for hotel groups managing payments across multiple properties
