The Pricing Team

Every time a merchant submits a transaction or uses one of Adyen’s services, the Adyen platform must determine whether to charge the merchant and how much they should be charged. In many cases, what exact price a merchant pays to use Adyen’s services depends on how much volume they have already processed and/or the exact details of the contract they signed with Adyen.

The Pricing team owns the technical components that allow all products at Adyen to be priced. Commercial users interact with Pricing’s products to create and sign deals, Support uses our products to answer merchant questions about their pricing, and the rest of the Adyen platform relies on us to receive up-to-date, contractually accurate, and performant data on how every single event running through our system should be priced.

The work we are doing is truly central to Adyen’s ability to generate revenue and we are making a significant and principled investment into new and improved services to support Adyen’s and our merchants’ growth.
