What are Adyen fees at a glance?

Adyen fees for Indian users, as published on Adyen's own pricing pages and checked on 30 Sept 2026.

How does Adyen charge Indian users?

Adyen charges through a receiving fee, an FX markup on conversion and, in some cases, payout or fixed fees.

  • Transaction fee: Indicative: $0.13 per transaction plus a payment-method fee (Visa/Mastercard: Interchange++ plus 0.60%); custom pricing via sales; minimum invoice depends on industry
  • FX markup: Not confirmed: Adyen converts at its FX reference rate plus an FX management fee (spread); how the spread is calculated is set in the merchant's contract and by default differs by currency category (USD category one, INR category two); no figure is published
  • Withdrawal fee: Adyen's payout currency docs list INR as the settlement currency for its India acquiring connection, with funds held in India and paid out locally, and say INR can only be paid out to a local bank account in India (SWIFT payouts are not supported for INR). Payout fees and any route for export proceeds are not published.
  • GST: Adyen's help centre lists Adyen India service invoices with GST: 'GST rate 18% if the merchant is in Maharashtra. Or CGST of 9% and SGST of 9% if the merchant is located outside Maharashtra', as worded on the page. Either way the total is 18% on Adyen's service fees.

Calculation basis: No complete fee model. Adyen publishes indicative card pricing (Visa: $0.13 plus Interchange++ plus 0.60%) and its pricing page says these fees are indicative, so the total depends on interchange and scheme fees that vary per card and on the agreed contract. Its currency documentation says conversion uses Adyen's FX reference rate plus an FX management fee (spread) whose calculation is set in each merchant's contract and by default differs by currency category (USD category one, INR category two); no figure is published. Adyen's invoice tax page shows 18% GST on Adyen India service invoices. Adyen's India page names only domestic (PA-Online) and cross-border outward (PA-CB-Outward) authorisations, and no Adyen page found describes a route for an Indian exporter to collect from foreign cardholders, so the transaction a model would describe is not confirmed.

What does Adyen charge by payment method?

How can you reduce Adyen fees?

  • Payment method: Ask clients to pay by local bank transfer to your account details, which usually costs less than cards, wallets or Swift wires.
  • Invoice size: Where a platform charges a flat fee per payment, fewer and larger invoices lower the cost as a share of revenue.
  • Conversion: Compare the rate offered with the mid-market rate on the day, because the FX markup is often the larger cost.
  • GST: Keep the platform's tax invoices, since GST paid on fees may be claimable as input tax credit if you are GST registered.
