Set Up Processing of Synchrony Credit Card Purchases using Adyen
The POS app, in combination with an Adyen terminal, supports the recognition of Synchrony cards and enables financing transactions. During checkout, when a customer chooses to pay with their Synchrony PLCC and the card is presented, the store associate can process the payment. If the order total meets a set threshold, the store associate can offer financing, which requires the customer to sign an electronic disclosure and financing contract. The threshold, electronic disclosure, and financing contract terms are customizable in the CMS.

POS Behavior
On the cart screen, if the order total falls within the order total range range, the card acquisition flow will be triggered when the user selects to checkout with a credit card. If it does not, then the card acquisition flow will be processed with the full payment. For every credit card transaction, the POS will make a card acquisition request to Adyen, which returns information about the card. The POS uses this information to identify whether it is a Synchrony card (PLCC) or a normal (non-Synchrony) credit card based on the BIN range.
If the Reward Lookup SPI is configured and the customer has eligible rewards, the below modal will display. You can select a reward to apply to the order. If the customer's card is not available for an account lookup, the store associate can tap the Financing Account Lookup deep link. This will prompt the customer to follow instructions on the terminal for account lookups. The customer will enter their full 9-digit social security number (SSN) into the terminal and accept.
If an account is found, Adyen will respond with a token that the POS can use to process the transaction. The POS will then display a success message with the customer’s full name, which the associate can use to verify the shopper’s identity. The associate will be prompted on the POS to confirm that the name on the account matches the form of ID presented by the shopper. Once the associate confirms the verification, they’ll proceed to the rewards lookup step in the financing flow and view the shopper’s available rewards.
On the next modal, you'll be able to select a finance option or opt to earn rewards. If rewards is selected, this will complete the order as a credit card transaction. If financing is selected, the POS will do a pre-authorization via Adyen for financing. Note, clicking the X button on the modal will cancel the card acquisition flow.
When the customer selects a financing option, the POS will prompt the customer for consent to receive electronic disclosures. Customers can choose to review the disclosure on the terminal.
Once consent is given, the customer can review the full disclosure on either the app or the terminal. After reviewing and agreeing to the disclosure, payment will be sent for authorization, and the checkout process will be completed.
