Adyen for WooCommerce POS
Adyen's enterprise gateway for WooCommerce POS, via the Oliver browser checkout.
Powered through the Adyen Payment Module for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How Adyen works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Adyen is the European-headquartered, NASDAQ-listed processor that powers Uber, Spotify, eBay, and many enterprise retailers. Oliver POS uses Adyen's WooCommerce plugin and opens its hosted checkout inside the in-POS browser view.
Why retailers pick Adyen
Adyen is the processor a retailer chooses when they outgrow Stripe and PayPal. It supports more local payment methods out of the box (iDEAL, Bancontact, P24, OXXO, etc.), publishes interchange-plus pricing for serious volume, and has the most flexible account management for omnichannel operations. Big retailers like Uniqlo, Lego, and L'Oréal route global card traffic through Adyen.
Adyen + Oliver POS via the WooCommerce plugin
The official Adyen Payment Module for WooCommerce exposes Adyen's Web Drop-in and Pay by Link products. Oliver picks up the Web Drop-in flow at the register: the cashier rings the sale, Oliver opens Adyen's hosted page in the in-POS browser view, the customer selects their method (card, local rail, wallet), and Adyen handles the rest. SCA, 3-D Secure, and fraud scoring are all done on Adyen's side.
Local payment methods included by default
The killer feature for European retailers is that Adyen ships iDEAL, Bancontact, Sofort, Klarna, EPS, and a long list of other country rails on a single integration. From the Oliver POS register, the customer simply picks their preferred method from Adyen's drop-in, the same way they would on the online checkout.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick Adyen at the Oliver POS if you are a mid-market or enterprise retailer with European, UK, or global ambition, if you need a single processor across many countries, or if you're negotiating interchange-plus pricing and need an account manager. If your shop does a few hundred thousand a year, Stripe or PayPal is usually simpler — Adyen comes into its own at higher volume.
