How to Submit a Return or Replacement Request

If you are experiencing issues with your Adyen terminal and need to return or replace it, you can easily submit a request through your Adyen Customer Area. Follow the steps below to submit your request and get your terminal issue resolved quickly.

1. Find the Terminal Serial Number

Before submitting a return or replacement request, you will need to locate the serial number of your terminal. This can be found on the underside of the terminal, labeled as "S/N:123-456-789". Alternatively, you can find the serial number in the terminal's Device Info screen.

2. Log in to your Adyen Customer Area

To submit a return or replacement request, you will need to log in to your Adyen Customer Area. If you do not have an account, you can easily create one by following the prompts on the login page.

3. Switch to your merchant account (if applicable)

If you have multiple merchant accounts linked to your Adyen Customer Area, make sure to switch to the correct account before submitting your request.

4. Navigate to:

In-person payments > Orders and returns > New return/replacement order

Once you are logged in and on the correct merchant account, navigate to the "New return/replacement order" page under the "Orders and returns" section of the "In-person payments" tab.

On the "New return/replacement order" page, click on the "New request" button to begin your return or replacement request.

If you need to return or replace multiple terminals, you can click on the "Add more items" button to include additional terminals in your request.

8. Click Continue to shipping details

Once you have entered all the necessary terminal details, click on the "Continue to shipping details" button to proceed to the next step.

• Choose an existing address or enter a new shipping address

On the "Shipping details" page, you can choose to use an existing address or enter a new one for the return or replacement shipment. Make sure to provide accurate and complete shipping information to avoid any delays in processing your request.
