Adyen accounting with file import
Import files from Adyen into KudTax and prepare the data they contain for reconciliation and accounting. You start the import by uploading a file.
Adyen is the payment provider for merchants selling across several countries, currencies and payment methods at once. That is exactly what makes the settlement demanding: one payout can contain card payments, bank redirects and local methods from several countries, in several currencies, net of different charges per method.

What to watch for with Adyen
One batch, several currencies
Adyen bundles payments in several currencies into one payout and converts along the way. Book only the euro figure and conversion differences vanish into revenue, where they can no longer be told apart from margin.
Charges differ per payment method
Card, direct debit and local methods each cost something different. An average rate hides which method actually pays, and with an international catalogue that is precisely the question that matters.
Why connect Adyen with KudTax

Separates payment processing fees into expense accounts so P&L and tax bases stay exact.

Multi-currency conversions

Clearing entries for review
