Steps

Step 1: Create a sales document

Note: BC customer chosen in the sales document is not required to contain an already existing tokenized payment method.

Step 2: Turn on the Enable for Adyen Payment

If Use Default Merchant is enabled in the Adyen parameters, then the Adyen Merchant field will be automatically populated.

Step 3: Selecting a payment type (Payment Or Pay By Link).

Step 4: Fill in the Shopper Reference. If the BC Customer already has a default Adyen Shopper associated, this field will be auto-populated.

Step 5: Post the document.

The Pay By Link URL can now be sent to the customer.
