Why Seamless Payments Matter

You probably don't think about payment systems—until they fail.  Suddenly, that smooth day turns sour. Long lines. Payment errors. Complicated procedures. Frustration mounts. But with SKIDATA and Adyen, these problems vanish and are replaced by effortless transactions.


Simplifying Complexity for Operators: Omni-Channel Payment Management

Adyen's cutting-edge technology has transformed how SKIDATA's customers manage payment processes. As a fully integrated Omni-Channel payment service provider, Adyen offers a comprehensive solution that significantly reduces complexity for operators. Here's how this partnership benefits your business operations:


One-Stop Solution: Adyen serves as both acquirer and technical processor for all payments, including SKIDATA skiosk payment machines, cashiers, digital payments, and subscriptions.

User-Friendly Management: Access the easy-to-use Adyen portal to manage your account and transactions efficiently.

Efficient Point of Sale Solutions

With Adyen, SKIDATA has taken control of its payment terminals, managing them remotely. Here's what that means for operators:

 

  • Versatile Payment Options: Offer convenient onsite payment for visitors at SKIDATA skiosk (payment stations) and parking columns. The All-In-One payment terminal provides clear user guidance and enables fast "tap" payments.

  • Top-Notch Security: Adyen's end-to-end encryption has tightened security, reducing PCI scope for SKIDATA customers. More security, less complexity.

 

 

"We've gained incredible flexibility. All our terminals are managed in one place. We've cut dependency on third parties. And we've made it easy to add local payment methods like WeChat Pay and Apple Pay. The best part? Thanks to Adyen's encryption, we've reduced PCI scope for our customers."

SKIDATA Connect: The Heart of Integration

At the core of this partnership lies SKIDATA Connect. It's the platform that connects everything, integrating Adyen's payment services and systems into a unified, efficient solution for visitor management.

 

Real-World Success: Schiphol Airport

Take Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, one of Europe's busiest. With over 45,000 parking spaces, they were one of the first to embrace SKIDATA's mobile payment solution. The results? Nothing short of remarkable.
