GHL Adyen Payment Integration Now Live for EU & North America

Adyen is now officially part of GoHighLevel’s payment provider lineup—and it’s a game-changer if you’re working with international clients or enterprise businesses.

At launch, the integration supports credit and debit card payments through Adyen accounts in Europe and North America. That means if your client already has an Adyen merchant account (or can’t use Stripe, PayPal, etc.), you can now meet them where they are—without compromising on automation, compliance, or user experience.

Here’s what’s new:

• Adyen integration is live under Payments → Connect Adyen
• Supports live and sandbox environments
• Requires Company API Key and Live URL Prefix
• Ideal for agencies needing 3DS security and broader regional payment support

This update removes a major barrier for onboarding European and North American clients who operate with strict payment provider policies—or who already trust Adyen as their go-to processor.

Setting up Adyen inside GoHighLevel is refreshingly straightforward—but there are a few new twists to the workflow compared to Stripe or other providers.

Here’s what’s changed:

1. New Adyen Connection Option
   You’ll now see “Adyen” available under your agency dashboard when you navigate to:
   Dashboard → Payments → Connect Adyen
2. Credential Requirements
   You’ll need your:
   • Live Company API Key
   • Live URL Prefix
   • (And optionally a Test API Key if you want to sandbox first)
   These are provided by Adyen and require approval from their merchant team before they can go live.
3. Assigning Adyen as Default
   Once credentials are added and saved, you can assign Adyen as the default payment provider for any channels or sub-accounts where you want to accept card payments.

This means you can run full payments inside GHL—including invoicing, checkout pages, and funnels—using Adyen instead of being locked into Stripe.

You’ve now got a reliable way to serve markets where Stripe is limited or where Adyen is the standard.

If you’ve been stuck losing deals because a client’s finance team only works with Adyen, those days are over. This integration isn’t just a technical improvement—it’s a business win.

Here’s why it matters:

1. Enterprise-Ready Credentials
Adyen is already the standard for many enterprise brands, especially in Europe. Now you can confidently approach those businesses knowing your GHL setup can handle their payment requirements—no need for awkward workarounds or third-party tools.

2. Built-In 3DS Support for Cards
3D Secure (3DS) is a must for international transactions and high-risk industries. With Adyen, your client’s payments are more secure and compliant—reducing chargebacks and legal headaches.

3. Greater Regional Flexibility
Stripe doesn’t always work everywhere, and some businesses have strict approval processes. Adyen’s presence in the EU and North America makes it an ideal fit for globally-minded agencies and SaaS resellers.

4. Easy White-Label Onboarding
Clients already using Adyen? Great. They can plug in their credentials and be ready to take payments right away—no waiting on new accounts, no switching processors, no lost time.

This is one of those updates that quietly removes major friction from your sales process. If you’re pitching to international brands or established players, having Adyen in your corner is a serious advantage.

Adding Adyen to your GoHighLevel setup is a quick process—as long as you’ve got the right credentials ready to go. Here’s exactly how to get it up and running without any guesswork:

The Main Menu on the Left side of your screen has all the main areas that you work in when using GHL

1.1 Click on the Payments Menu Item.

• Access the ‘Payments’ section of GoHighLevel
• You’ll now be in the ‘Payments’ section of GHL, where you can access the Integrations section from the top menu:

1.2 Click on the ‘Integrations’ menu link.

• Note: Make sure your Adyen merchant account is active. You’ll need to get approval directly from Adyen before using it in GHL live mode.
  • Gather Your Credentials:These are found in your Adyen dashboard under Developers → API Credentials.
  • You’ll need:
    • For Live Mode: Company API Key + Live URL Prefix
    • For Test/Sandbox Mode: Just the Company API Key

2.1 Choose Adyen Payments

• Choose Adyen Payments and Click Connect

2.2 Connect API key

• Connect Live Api Key for Live Payment and Sandbox Api Key for Test Payments

• Once saved, you can set Adyen as the default payment method for any location, funnel, or checkout page inside your account. This means every card payment in that funnel will route through Adyen by default.

Optional: Test in Sandbox Mode
Before going live, use sandbox credentials to simulate payments and make sure everything flows correctly—especially with 3DS cards or EU-based transactions.

With these steps, you’re fully set to process payments via Adyen inside your GHL agency dashboard or white-labeled SaaS.

Getting Adyen set up in GHL is simple—but there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind so you don’t hit roadblocks later.

Here’s what we’ve learned from testing:

1. Don’t Skip the Merchant Approval
Adyen requires your account to be approved before you can process live transactions. This isn’t automatic—plan ahead, especially if onboarding a client on a deadline.

2. Watch for Credential Mix-Ups
Double check that you’re using the correct credentials for the correct mode (Live vs. Test). Mixing them up will cause silent failures and frustration.

3. Assign Adyen Correctly
Just adding the credentials doesn’t activate Adyen. You need to explicitly set it as the default payment provider for each location or funnel. Otherwise, payments might still route through Stripe or PayPal.

4. Test With 3DS Cards
If your client handles international or high-risk transactions, be sure to run a test using a 3D Secure-enabled card. Adyen supports it—but you want to make sure your forms and redirects are working properly before going live.

5. Keep Your Credentials Handy
There’s no error log that tells you exactly what went wrong during setup. If something’s off, your best move is to recheck credentials and re-enter everything cleanly.

Following these tips will save you hours of troubleshooting and ensure your clients can start taking payments ASAP.

If you’re running a white-labeled SaaS on GoHighLevel, the Adyen integration opens up a whole new world—especially for agencies targeting clients across Europe and North America.

Here’s why it’s a big deal:

1. Get Ahead of the SaaS Mode Update
Adyen support is coming to SaaS Mode billing and subscriptions. That means you’ll soon be able to bill your users directly using Adyen—fully automated, fully white-labeled, and fully compliant.

This is perfect for agencies who want to offer localized payment solutions without compromising their branding.

2. Serve Clients With Specific Requirements
Many enterprise and international clients simply won’t use anything but Adyen. Now, you can say yes to those clients and plug them right into your white-labeled GHL ecosystem.

3. Easier Expansion into EU and Canada
Adyen has strong regional coverage, so if you’ve been struggling to offer native payments in these regions, this is your fix. No need to rely on workaround tools or separate invoicing systems.

4. Future-Proof Your SaaS Offerings
With Adyen’s roadmap including POS, tap-to-pay, and more, you’re not just covering today’s needs—you’re setting up your SaaS to grow alongside real-world payment trends.

For agencies building serious SaaS products, this integration levels up your infrastructure in a big way—and it’s just getting started.

Now that Adyen is live in GHL, here’s what you can realistically expect once you plug it in—and who will benefit most.

1. Faster Onboarding for Clients Already Using Adyen
Many larger businesses already have merchant accounts with Adyen. Instead of asking them to apply for something new (like Stripe), you can now say, “Just drop in your credentials.” That’s a huge onboarding shortcut.

2. Win More Enterprise Deals
Enterprise clients often require Adyen for internal policy or compliance reasons. This update removes a blocker that’s cost agencies big accounts in the past.

3. More Secure Global Transactions
Because Adyen supports 3D Secure, your clients get stronger fraud protection and smoother compliance—especially for international payments. It’s a great selling point when pitching high-risk or regulated industries.

4. Serve Markets Where Stripe Fails
Stripe doesn’t support every country or use case. Adyen gives you a serious edge in regions where Stripe is limited or restricted—especially across Europe and Canada.

5. Prepare for SaaS Revenue Expansion
Once SaaS Mode billing becomes Adyen-compatible, you’ll be able to charge your users via Adyen natively—no extra layers, no Zapier duct tape. That means fewer payment failures, better customer experience, and more reliable monthly revenue.

Bottom line: if you’ve got clients outside the U.S., or you’re building a global SaaS brand, the Adyen integration is a no-brainer.

Adyen is now a core part of the GoHighLevel payments ecosystem—and if you’re an agency or SaaS builder aiming to grow in Europe or North America, this update puts serious firepower at your fingertips.

With just a few credentials and a quick setup, you can:

• Unlock enterprise-grade payments
• Serve global clients with confidence
• Eliminate friction in your onboarding process
• Position your SaaS for future-ready billing automation

And this is just the start. As GoHighLevel expands Adyen’s capabilities (think subscriptions, SaaS billing, and even in-person payments), early adopters will have a clear advantage.

So don’t wait for the next phase—log into your GHL dashboard, connect Adyen, and start taking secure, scalable payments today.
