The URL-prefix is required to authorize your live Adyen account and in this article, we'll explain where to find it.

Finding the URL-prefix

Follow the steps below to find your URL-prefix.

  1. Log into your live Customer Area.

  2. Go to Developers -> API URLs.

  3. On the API URLs and Response page, you will see the configured endpoints for your corporate account.

  4. Important: you don’t need the full API URL, but only the prefix.

    1. For example, if this was your live URL: https://1797a841fbb37ca7-AdyenDemo-checkout-live.adyenpayments.com/checkout/v53/payments

    2. Then the live URL prefix would be: 1797a841fbb37ca7-AdyenDemo

Or you can also check out Adyen’s documentation: https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/live-endpoints.

(Screenshot shows no live URL because it's a testing Adyen account).

Add URL-prefix to WooCommerce

Once having the live URL prefix, you will need to enter it in the Adyen plugin settings in WooCommerce.

  1. Log into your WordPress backend

  2. Go to Adyen > Authorization tab

  3. Paste the live URL-prefix in the field: URL-prefix (LIVE)
