Adyen supports 27 payment methods across 35 countries, one of the broadest coverage footprints available from any single payment processor. For enterprise merchants operating globally, that breadth is part of Adyen’s appeal. For mid-market WooCommerce merchants evaluating Adyen, the payment method question is only one piece of the picture.
This guide covers exactly what Adyen supports, where the gaps are, how performance compares across methods, and what the payment method landscape actually looks like for WooCommerce stores at scale.

Geographic Coverage: Strengths and Limitations
Strong coverage: US, UK, EU (Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium), Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Mexico.
Limited coverage: Many Southeast Asian markets, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East (outside UAE/Saudi Arabia), several Eastern European markets.
Currency support: Adyen supports payouts in 15 currencies — significantly fewer than Stripe’s 135. For merchants with revenue in currencies outside Adyen’s payout set, this creates reconciliation complexity.
How the Major Payment Methods Actually Perform
Payment method support lists tell you what’s available. Performance data tells you what matters. The ConvesioPay Q1 2026 dataset, nearly 1 million transactions provides a concrete performance picture:
| Payment Method | CB Rate vs Average | Decline Rate | Avg Order Value |
| Visa (card) | Baseline | Baseline | $128.85 |
| Mastercard (card) | Higher than Visa | Higher than Apple Pay | $128.85 |
| Apple Pay ★ | 5.8x lower | <50% of card rate | $146.07 |
| Google Pay | Similar to cards | Lower than card | ~Median |
| BNPL (Klarna etc.) | Near zero (BNPL absorbs) | N/A (pre-approved) | Varies |
Apple Pay — The Standout Performer
| 13.7% | of all settled transactions via Apple Pay — ConvesioPay Q1 2026 |
| 5.8x | lower chargeback rates vs. standard card payments |
| $146.07 | iPhone average order value vs. $128.85 platform median |
The mechanism: Apple Pay uses device-bound biometric authentication and never transmits the actual card number. The fraud profile is fundamentally different from card-not-present transactions. Mobile accounts for 38.6% of all transactions — iPhone users represent 33.2% of settled volume, the single largest device segment.

ACH Direct Debit
For US merchants with recurring billing or subscription models, ACH transactions carry significantly lower rates than card processing. Settlement takes 3–5 business days versus same-day for cards — a tradeoff worth evaluating for subscription revenue.

BNPL conversion uplift is strongest in the $75–$500 AOV range. For WooCommerce stores in apparel, home goods, electronics, or beauty — BNPL providers underwrite the transaction risk themselves, effectively eliminating chargeback risk on those transactions.
Regional Methods (iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA)
For stores with significant European traffic: iDEAL is essential for Dutch customers, Bancontact for Belgian customers, SEPA for EU recurring billing. For stores primarily serving US customers, these regional methods are irrelevant to conversion.
The Access Gap: What Adyen Supports vs. What Stores Can Access
Adyen’s payment method breadth is impressive, but it’s worth being clear about the gap between what Adyen supports in theory and what mid-market WooCommerce stores can practically access.
- Access requires qualification. A direct Adyen account requires meeting volume thresholds, enterprise KYC documentation, and a custom API integration. For most stores processing under $150K–$200K/month, the qualification requirements make a direct account impractical.
- Integration requires development. Adyen doesn’t maintain a native WooCommerce plugin. Connecting WooCommerce requires API work, webhook configuration, and 3DS2 implementation.
- The methods that matter most are accessible through the partner network. Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major BNPL providers are all available through ConvesioPay as a certified Adyen partner, with Apple Pay optimized by default and 3DS active across card transactions.
What Payment Methods Your WooCommerce Store Actually Needs
- Start with your traffic data. Where are your customers? What devices are they on? 80% US traffic and 38% mobile means Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are the priority.
- Look at checkout abandonment by device. High mobile abandonment at the payment step often signals Apple Pay not appearing — usually a domain verification issue.
- Consider your AOV and product category. BNPL conversion uplift is strongest in the $75–$500 range. Below or above that, the friction of a BNPL flow typically doesn’t justify the integration.
Prioritise by volume impact. Visa and Apple Pay together represent the majority of settled volume in the Q1 2026 dataset. Getting those two right delivers more impact than adding five regional methods that represent 2% of your customer base.
The Bottom Line
Adyen’s 27-method coverage is genuinely comprehensive, it’s one reason enterprise merchants choose Adyen for global operations. For mid-market WooCommerce stores, the relevant question is which methods they can practically access and which ones move the needle.
The core method set — Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and relevant BNPL — delivers the vast majority of transaction value for most WooCommerce eCommerce stores.
Those methods are available through ConvesioPay as a certified Adyen partner, with Apple Pay optimized by default, 3DS active across card transactions, and no minimum volume requirement for access.
