First steps in the Live Account
Make a Payment!
Now it is time to make your first live payment. You can make a payment with a real credit
card and see if the whole process functions correctly. Check if the payment is processed
correctly in the shop environment and that you receive the Authorised notification.
Furthermore lookup the payment in the live Adyen merchant backoffice to check if all
fraud settings and other payment details are right.
With credit card payments you can cancel transactions afterwards so that no actual funds
are withdrawn from your card. If you want to make a full live payment cycle, however,
capture the transaction and see it being settled and appearing on your credit card
statement.
Some payment methods such as iDEAL do not offer a cancel operation. In this case
money will always transfer from your bank account to your merchant account.
Enable Live Payments for All Customers
If the payment is processed correctly you can enable the live payments for all your
customers and you are live with Adyen.
