| Feature | ONKORERecommended | Adyen | What to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary target customer | Businesses seeking personalized payment processing and POS solutions. | Larger and enterprise merchants with sophisticated omnichannel, international, platform, or API-driven payment requirements. | Compare which business types each provider is designed for. |
| Best-fit business types | Businesses seeking personalized service and transparent pricing. | Enterprise, multinational, omnichannel, platform, marketplace, and technically sophisticated digital businesses. | Consider whether the provider's strengths align with your business model. |
| Pricing & Commercial Model | |||
| Pricing model | Interchange-plus and custom programs based on merchant eligibility. | Transaction-based pricing using a fixed processing fee plus payment-method cost; card pricing can use Interchange++ depending on payment method and region. Confirm current U.S. pricing with Adyen. | Compare whether pricing is flat-rate, interchange-plus, or custom. Ask for the effective rate on your actual transaction mix. |
| Published transaction pricing | Customized quote — contact ONKORE for a personalized rate. | Pricing varies by payment method and region. Adyen publishes payment-method-specific pricing using a processing fee plus payment-method fee; confirm the current U.S. schedule directly with Adyen. | Review the published rates but confirm they apply to your specific plan and payment mix. |
| Customized pricing availability | Yes — pricing tailored to merchant profile. | Yes — commercial pricing can vary by payment methods, regions, volume, and enterprise requirements. | Determine whether pricing is tailored to your volume, ticket size, and industry. |
| Monthly software cost | Depends on selected processing platform — contact ONKORE for details. | No standard monthly subscription is presented as the core pricing model; other product or service fees may apply. Confirm current commercial terms. | Check whether a software subscription is required and what it includes. |
| Setup or implementation cost | Based on merchant eligibility and selected platform. | Implementation scope varies by integration, markets, products, and enterprise requirements; confirm with Adyen. | Evaluate whether onboarding is self-serve or guided by a specialist. |
| Hardware cost | Countertop, wireless, mobile, and kiosk terminals available — contact ONKORE for details. | Adyen-supported point-of-sale terminals are available; device pricing and deployment terms vary by terminal and agreement. | Compare terminal types, connectivity options, and whether hardware is purchased or leased. |
| Payments & Funding | |||

| Funding options | True Daily Funding available on supported processing programs — contact ONKORE for eligibility and availability. Next-business-day funding also available. | Payout timing depends on Adyen's payout model, schedule, settlement configuration, and merchant setup; do not equate this with ONKORE True Daily Funding. | Compare settlement schedule, eligibility, availability, cutoff times, and any applicable fees rather than relying only on labels such as daily, next-day, or instant funding. |
| Virtual terminal | Browser-based virtual terminal available where supported. | Not positioned as a primary Adyen product experience; confirm current merchant-facing options for your use case. | Determine whether keyed-in transactions and MOTO processing are supported. |
| Payment links | Branded payment links available. | Available through Adyen Pay by Link. | Check whether branded checkout pages and QR codes are available. |
| Recurring billing | Subscription billing with automated dunning available where supported. | Supported through tokenization and recurring/subscription payment capabilities. | Compare dunning management, proration, and customer self-service options. |
| Invoicing | Email invoicing with pay-by-link available where supported. | Payment links can support invoice-style collection workflows; full invoicing requirements depend on the merchant's system and integration. | Evaluate whether invoicing is built-in or requires a third-party integration. |
| Online Payments & Security | |||
| Online payments | Payment gateway with developer-friendly API; 3D Secure (3DS) authentication available through supported gateway configurations. | Developer APIs, Drop-in, Components, payment links, and other online payment integrations. | Consider gateway features, API quality, and checkout customization options. |

Availability and implementation vary by gateway and configuration. |
| Integrations | Integrations with major platforms — contact ONKORE for details. | APIs, webhooks, plugins, platforms, and enterprise commerce integrations. | Check compatibility with your e-commerce platform, CMS, or accounting tools. |
| Chargeback tools | Chargeback management and dispute support available. | Dispute and chargeback management capabilities are available within Adyen's payments platform. | Compare dispute management tools and chargeback response support. |
| PCI-related fees | Contact ONKORE for PCI program details. | Compliance responsibilities and any related commercial fees depend on integration and agreement; confirm current terms. | Ask whether PCI compliance fees are included or charged separately. |
| POS & Operations | |||
| POS capabilities | Multiple POS options by industry — restaurant, retail, and other supported configurations; contact ONKORE for details. | Enterprise in-person payments and Unified Commerce; not positioned as a general SMB all-in-one POS software replacement. | Consider industry-specific POS features, inventory, and reporting. |
| Inventory | Depends on selected ONKORE POS solution — contact for details. | Not a primary standalone Adyen inventory-management product; typically handled by the merchant's commerce/POS platform. | Compare inventory management depth and real-time tracking. |

| Relationship & Contract | |||
| Customer support | Dedicated merchant support team. | Enterprise support and account-management model; service structure depends on the merchant relationship. | Compare hours, channels (phone/email/chat), and whether you get a dedicated rep. |
| Processing Contract | No long-term processing contract on supported ONKORE programs. | Commercial and processing terms are agreement-dependent; confirm contract duration and termination terms with Adyen. | Compare whether a long-term processing contract is required and whether terms vary by provider, reseller, plan, or hardware arrangement. |
| Contract requirements | Contact ONKORE for current contract terms. | Agreement-dependent; designed primarily for enterprise/commercial relationships. | Review contract length, auto-renewal clauses, and equipment lease terms. |
| Early termination provisions | Contact ONKORE for current terms. | Agreement-dependent — review the merchant agreement. | Check for cancellation fees and equipment lease buyouts. |
| Industry restrictions | Wide industry coverage — contact to confirm eligibility. | Broad enterprise coverage, subject to Adyen's prohibited/restricted products, underwriting, countries, and payment-method requirements. | Confirm the provider supports your specific industry and business type. |
| Important limitations | ONKORE capabilities depend on selected processing platform. Confirm with an ONKORE payment specialist. | Enterprise-oriented infrastructure can require more technical and operational resources than a merchant seeking a guided, small-business-focused payments relationship. Availability, pricing, payout timing, and commercial terms vary by market and agreement. | Review key limitations and restrictions that may affect your decision. |
