Recurring payments manual
Audience
This is a technical manual aimed at IT personnel involved in integrating merchants' systems with those at Adyen.
The latest version of this document is available here:
https://www.adyen.com/home/support/manuals.html
General tips/warnings
Defensive Programming
Adyen strongly recommends the use of “defensive programming” when integrating with the Adyen Services. This implies that
automated decisions programmed into your systems should be defaulted to non-delivery of products and services. In other words,
program your systems to only deliver products and/or services after receiving an explicit authorisation of the requested payment
and NOT to deliver in situations where an explicit rejection is not received.
Feedback
You can provide feedback about this document by sending an email to the following address:

We appreciate your comments.

Recurring payments manual
1. Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to enable you to create and submit recurring payments to the Adyen Payment System. Recurring
payments re-use payment details, previously stored by the shopper, to complete the payment.
In the following chapters we cover how you can:
Create a recurring contract using an initial payment
Retrieve the recurring contracts for a shopper
Submit a recurring transaction
Update stored details
Deactivate a recurring contract or detail
Submit Account Updater requests
Recurring payments are not enabled by default. Please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) if you would like to
start processing recurring payments.
This document is an addendum to the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual and will reference, without citation, concepts explained
there. The latest version of the Integration manual can be found here
https://www.adyen.com/home/support/manuals.html
Please note that API calls to Adyen may change, and are based on our WSDLs, listed in Appendix A.
To submit Recurring Payment requests you must supply authentication credentials. The username is
ws@Company.[YourCompanyAccount] and you set the password for this user in the Adyen Customer Area (CA) under “Settings”
“Users”.

Recurring payments manual
2. What is a recurring contract?
A recurring contract is a set of one or more recurring payment details linked to a unique shopper on your merchant account. The
contract is identified using the shopperReference and merchantAccount fields which are specified as part of the payment session, for
Hosted Payment Pages (HPP) or the payment request for Direct API.
The recurring details each have a unique 16 digit reference number called the recurringDetailReference. A recurring detail reference
number can be used in place of the actual payment details to submit a payment to the system.
Please note, the default recurring behaviour is for recurring contracts to be established and used within a single merchant
account. However, your account can be configured to allow you to use stored details across all merchant accounts associated with
your company account. Please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) if you would like to have this feature
enabled on your account.
2.1. Recurring vs One-Click
One-Click functionality gives the shopper the option to store their payment details with the merchant, within the Adyen environment.
The shopper makes this choice during their first payment by checking a checkbox.
For card payments, One-Click differs from Recurring as follows:
The shopper chooses whether their card data can be stored or not.
For subsequent transactions, the shopper is always present and must supply their card's security code (CVC/CVV).
One-Click has the advantage of ensuring full card authorisation takes place for each payment, including card security code checks
and 3D secure, if applicable, with the potential disadvantage that the shopper must be present for all payments.
2.2. Standard workflow
The usual workflow is as follows:
1. Create your recurring contract by performing an initial Payment with the additional fields defined in section 3, ensuring that
you store the shopperEmail, shopperReference, and the recurringContract fields in your system for later use.
If you receive a successful AUTHORISATION notification for the payment then you know the recurring contract has been
created. You do not receive the recurringDetailReference at this time and need do nothing more in our system.
2. When you're ready to process a subsequent payment, set the value of the selectedRecurringDetailReference to either:
1. The recurringDetailReference returned from the list of all stored recurring details based on the shopperReference
provided in step 1.
2. The word “LATEST”, which uses the most recently stored recurring detail.
Set other fields as per section 5, taking into account the recurringContract value that was set in step 1.
If the subsequent payment is successful you will receive an AUTHORISATION notification with success=”true.
Please refer to section 8 for the list of supported payment methods.
Please refer to Appendix B for sample requests & responses for an entire workflow.

Recurring payments manual
3. Creating a recurring contract
The payment session is set up like a regular payment. There are two previously optional fields that become compulsory and one new
field that needs to be provided in the payment session form.
shopperEmail (required)
The shopper's email address.
shopperReference (required)
An ID that uniquely identifies the shopper.
recurringContract (required)
The type of recurring contract to be used. One of:
o ONECLICK
The shopper opts in to storing their card details for future use. The shopper is present for the subsequent
transaction, for cards the security code (CVC/CVV) is required.
o RECURRING
Payment details are stored for future use. For cards, the security code (CVC/CVV) is not required for subsequent
payments.
o ONECLICK, RECURRING
Payment details are stored for future use. This allows the use of the stored payment details regardless of whether
the shopper is on your site or not.
<input type="hidden" name="shopperEmail" value="gras.shopper@somewhere.org" />
<input type="hidden" name="shopperReference" value="grasshopper52" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurringContract" value="RECURRING" />!
Please refer to Appendix C of the Adyen Integration Manual for details on how to include these values in the signature.
Please note:
The details will only be stored, and the recurringDetailReference created, if the payment is successful.
Shoppers are uniquely identified using the shopperReference parameter. It is very important that shoppers are securely
logged in on your site and that the shopperReference parameter cannot be modified by the shopper.

Recurring payments manual
4. Retrieving the recurring contract details
When you want to submit a recurring payment, you may choose to query the Adyen system to return any stored payment details.
This is done by submitting a request to the listRecurringDetails action.
4.1. listRecurringDetails request
The request has the following fields:
merchantAccount
Your merchant account.
shopperReference
Your unique ID for the shopper. This shopperReference must be the same as the shopperReference used in the initial
payment.
recurring
o contract
This should be the same value that was submitted using recurringContract in the payment where the recurring
contract was created. However, if “ONECLICK,RECURRING” was specified initially, then this field should be either
“ONECLICK” or “RECURRING” depending on whether or not you want the shopper to enter their card's security
code. Please refer to section 3 for more information.
Please refer to Step 2 of Appendix B for a SOAP example of a listRecurringDetails request and response.
Please refer to Appendix C for a REST example of a listRecurringDetails request and response.
4.2. listRecurringDetails response
The response will be a result with a list of zero or more details containing:
recurringDetailReference
The unique reference the details are stored under.
variant
The payment method, such as “mc”, “visa”, “ideal”, “paypal”.
creationDate
The date when the recurring details were created.
The recurring contracts are stored in the same object types that were used to submit the initial payment. Depending upon the
payment method, one or more fields may be blank or incomplete, for example CVC for card. Only one of the details below will be
returned per detail block, the others will be nil. For wallets (Paypal, Moneybookers/Skrill, Neteller) there is not a detail block.
card
A container for credit card data. This contains the following items:
o expiryMonth
The expiration date's month written as a 2-digit string, padded with 0 if required, for example 03 or 12.
o expiryYear
The expiration date's year written in full, for example 2008.
o holderName
The card holder's name as embossed on the card.
o number
The card number. Only the last 4 digits of the card number are returned.
o cvc
The card validation code. This is the CVC2 code (for MasterCard), CVV2 (for Visa) or CID (for American Express).
The value will always be empty because it is not stored.

Caching of the recurring details for a shopper is encouraged, however, please keep in mind that if the stored details are updated, the
recurringDetailReference for that detail will change and the cached entry should be invalidated.

Please refer to Appendix C for a REST example of a listRecurringDetails request and response.
4.3. tokenLookup service
In addition to the listRecurringDetails action, Adyen also offers the tokenLookup action which provides the ability to check the entered
card details to see if there is another stored token that has the same card details on file. This is currently only available via a SOAP
request.
Please refer to Appendix L for a SOAP tokenLookup API request and response.

5. Submitting a recurring transaction
You can submit a recurring payment using a specific recurringDetails record or by using the last created recurringDetails record. The
request for the recurring payment is done using a paymentRequest.
5.1. Payment request
You can submit a recurring payment by calling the authorise action on the Payment service with a paymentRequest. However, a One-
Click payment session is set up like a regular payment and these additional fields are not required. Please refer to section 3.1 for
more information on setting up the payment.
5.1.1. One-Click payments
The paymentRequest is set up like a regular payment with a couple of differences:
card
The container for card data. This should contain the following items:

The field should be null.
o expiryYear
The field should be null.
o holderName
The field should be null.
o number
The field should be null.
o cvc
The card validation code. This is the CVC2 code (for MasterCard), CVV2 (for Visa) or CID (for American Express).
recurring
o contract

This should be the same value that was submitted using recurringContract in the payment where the recurring
contract was created. However, if “ONECLICK,RECURRING” was specified initially, then this field should be
“RECURRING”. Please refer to section 3 for more information.
merchantAccount
The merchant account for which you want to process the payment.
amount
The amount to authorise. This consists of a currencyCode and a paymentAmount. Please refer to section 2.2 of the Adyen
Merchant Integration Manual for more information.

12
Recurring payments manual
5.2. Payment response
If the recurring payment message passes validation, a risk analysis will be done and, depending on the outcome, an authorisation will
be attempted. This is not applicable to One-Click payments. You receive a payment response with the following fields:
pspReference
This is Adyen's unique reference that is associated with the payment. This is guaranteed to be globally unique and is used
when communicating with us about this payment.
resultCode
The result of the payment. The possible values are “Authorised”, “Refused”, “Error”.
authCode
An authorisation code if the payment was successful. Blank otherwise.
refusalReason

13
Recurring payments manual
6. Updating stored details
The stored payment details may need to be updated, for example when the card expiry date changes. Submit the Recurring payment
and add the details that need to change to the payment method specific object. For a card this means that the expiryMonth and
expiryYear fields should contain the new values. You need to specify the exact selectedRecurringDetailReference of the card that you
want to update.
Please note:
Updating of stored details is only applicable to cards.
The details will only be updated If the payment is successful.
A new recurringDetailReference is created and the old one is no longer valid. As such the stored details must be retrieved
again for the next payment.
Please refer to Appendix E for a SOAP example of a Recurring Payment Request which overwrites the expiry date of the card.
Please refer to Appendix F for a REST example of a sRecurring Payment Request which overwrites the expiry date of the card.
14
Recurring payments manual
7. Disabling a recurring contract
You can disable a single recurringDetail or the whole recurring contract for a shopper.
7.1. Disable request
Disabling a recurring contract (detail) can be done by calling the disable action on the Recurring service.
The request has the following fields:
merchantAccount
Your merchant account.
shopperReference
The ID that uniquely identifies the shopper. This shopperReference must be the same as the shopperReference used in the
initial payment.
recurringDetailReference (optional)
The recurringDetailReference of the detail you wish to disable. If you do not supply this field all details for the shopper will be
disabled including the contract. This means that you cannot add new details.
7.2. Disable response
The response will be a result object with a single field response. If a single detail was disabled the value of this field will be [detail-
successfully-disabled] or, if all the details were disabled, the value is [all-details-successfully-disabled].
Please refer to Appendix G for a SOAP example of a disable a recurring contract request and response.
