For Agents
Programmatically configure Adyen merchant accounts, stores, terminals, payment methods, API credentials, and webhooks across companies and merchants on the v1 Management API.
Use for: I need to create a webhook subscription on a company account, List all merchant accounts under a company, Generate a new API key for an API credential, Add an allowed origin to an existing API credential
Not supported: Does not handle payment authorisation, balance transfers, or chargeback responses — use for company, merchant, store, terminal, and webhook configuration only.
Configure and manage Adyen company and merchant accounts, stores, payment terminals, payment methods, users, API credentials, allowed origins, webhooks, and Android apps and certificates from a single REST surface. Version 1 of the Management API exposes 130 operations against /v1, covering company-level, merchant-level, and store-level configuration without requiring access to the Customer Area UI. New integrations should consider Management API v3, which is the actively evolving version.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Adyen Management API (v1) to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Adyen Management API (v1), or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Adyen Management API (v1) API.
Manage company and merchant accounts including listing, retrieval, and configuration updates
Provision and rotate API credentials, API keys, client keys, and allowed origins
Configure payment methods on merchant accounts and approve or disable them per channel
Manage stores under merchant accounts including creation, splits, and reference data
Manage payment terminal estates including assignment, settings, ordering, and Android apps
Create, update, and delete webhook subscriptions and rotate their HMAC keys
Manage users at company and merchant level including roles and access scopes
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Adyen Management API (v1) API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Webhook and Credential Provisioning
Provision API credentials and webhook subscriptions across an Adyen account hierarchy from infrastructure-as-code or a platform admin tool, rather than clicking through the Customer Area. The Management API v1 surface covers credential creation, API key rotation, allowed origin updates, and webhook subscription lifecycle on company and merchant accounts. Useful for platforms onboarding new merchants programmatically.
POST a new API credential under companyId, then POST an allowed origin and call /generateApiKey to issue the key, finally storing it in the secrets manager
Terminal Estate Management
Manage a payment terminal estate at scale by listing terminals, assigning them to stores, updating settings, and inspecting Android apps and certificates installed on them. The Management API exposes the estate via company-level and merchant-level endpoints, so a retailer with many merchant accounts can centralise operations. Useful for retailers running thousands of terminals across stores and merchants.
List terminals under merchantId, identify the unassigned ones, and assign each to its destination store using the matching Management API operation
Multi-Merchant Configuration Audit
Run periodic audits across a company hierarchy by listing merchants, stores, payment methods, and webhook subscriptions and comparing the live configuration against the platform's source-of-truth. The Management API's broad surface makes this practical without scraping the Customer Area. Useful for platforms with many merchants where configuration drift causes payment failures.
List all merchants under companyId, then for each merchant fetch payment methods and webhooks, and write the diff against the source-of-truth into the audit table
AI Agent Platform Operations
Operations agents change Adyen configuration through Jentic without holding raw API keys. The agent searches Jentic for 'rotate Adyen API key' or 'create webhook subscription', receives the matching Management API operation schema, and executes the call. Credentials remain isolated in the Jentic vault while the operation runs against the v1 surface.
Search Jentic for 'list Adyen merchant accounts under a company', load the schema, and call /companies/{companyId}/merchants to feed the operations dashboard
Key Endpoints
130 endpoints — configure and manage adyen company and merchant accounts, stores, payment terminals, payment methods, users, api credentials, allowed origins, webhooks, and android apps and certificates from a single rest surface.

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Adyen X-API-Key credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Agents call /companies/{companyId}/* and merchant-level operations through scoped tokens, so the raw API key never enters agent prompts or logs.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent ('list Adyen merchants', 'create a webhook subscription', 'rotate an API key') and Jentic returns the matching Management API operation with its full request schema and parameter validation.
Time to first call
Direct integration: 3-7 days for auth, credential lifecycle, webhook setup, and merchant audit logic. Through Jentic: under 1 hour per operation — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using Adyen Management API (v1) API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Adyen Management API v1 use?
The Management API accepts an API key in the X-API-Key header or HTTP Basic authentication with web service user credentials. Generate the key from your Adyen Customer Area and grant it the management roles you need. Through Jentic, the X-API-Key value is held encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and agents authenticate with scoped tokens, so the raw key never enters agent context.
Should I use Management API v1 or v3?
Adyen actively evolves the Management API on v3, which is the recommended version for new integrations. Version 1 remains supported for existing integrations and exposes 130 endpoints across company, merchant, and store configuration. If your integration is greenfield, build against v3; if you already use v1, you can stay on it until you choose to migrate.
What are the rate limits for the Management API?
Adyen applies per-company rate limits typically in the tens of requests per second for management operations on production. Excess requests return HTTP 429 with a retry hint. Bulk audits should batch and back off, and your Adyen account team can raise limits for sustained higher volumes.
How do I list a company's merchant accounts through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'list Adyen merchant accounts' to find the GET /companies/{companyId}/merchants operation. Pass the companyId in the path and Jentic loads the schema and executes with vaulted credentials. The response is paginated by Adyen so handle the page parameters where the merchant list is large. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up to get started.
Can I create webhook subscriptions through the Management API?
Yes. The Management API exposes webhook subscription endpoints under /companies/{companyId}/webhooks (and the merchant-level equivalent) that create, update, list, and delete subscriptions. The Management Webhooks spec documents the payload format that the resulting subscription delivers to your receiver URL.
