The Open Invoice Process
1 The Open Invoice Process
There are two main options for accepting Open Invoice by the merchant: full risk take over by Adyen , in
cooperation with an invoicing partner; or only invoice administration & communication by Adyen, in
cooperation with an invoicing partner.
In the remainder of this document we will refer to the combination of Adyen and the invoicing partner simply
as “Adyen”. When the full risk has been taken over the merchant will receive a percentage of the transaction
amount immediately after sending a capture modification. There are four main steps for the shopper in this
process which will be discussed in this manual:
1. Setting up the payment by providing the shopper's personal information which is verified against
Adyen's risk checks.
2. Delivery of goods and sending the capture modification which states the period in which the shopper
has to pay.
3. Adyen gets in contact with the shopper when the payment is not received and administers the
process.
4. Even if the shopper has not paid his invoice the funds will be settled to the Merchant. The period
between capturing a payment and settlement depends on the partner that the Merchant has chosen.
