WORKS FOR

Large online retailers and enterprise businesses needing global payment processing across online, in-store, and mobile channels

KEY INSIGHT

Adyen is what enterprise companies use when they outgrow Stripe — unified global payments with one contract. Not for SMBs.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Small businesses — Adyen has high minimum volume requirements and is overkill for anyone under $1M in annual revenue
