🆕 Coming soon (updated July 2026): Adyen is adding two new terminals — the S1E4 Pro (rugged mobile terminal) and S1F4 Pro (portable with built-in printer). The S1F4 Pro live pilot begins the week of August 24, 2026, with General Availability depending on the pilot (best case ~6 weeks after); the S1E4 Pro won't be available until 2027. See the overview articles to get familiar with specs and availability.
⚠️ Important Notice – Terminal Discontinuation
Adyen has discontinued several terminal models referenced in this article due to the expiration of their PCI PTS 5.x security certification. Affected models include the P400 Plus / P400, M400, V400m, and V400c.
New orders: No longer available as of April 30, 2026
Troubleshooting & warranty coverage: Ends April 30, 2027

🔍 Here’s Why:
In standalone mode, Adyen terminals (including the V400m, P400 Plus, Castles S1F2, and Android models like AMS1/NYC1) are primarily designed to:
• Authorize the transaction on the terminal
• Automatically capture it based on the configuration of the terminal profile and merchant account
However, if the terminal or merchant account is set to manual capture, then:
• The terminal does not provide an option to manually capture the transaction from its UI
• You must complete the capture via:
• The Adyen Customer Area
• An API call (/capture)
• Or rely on a scheduled capture delay if set
This is consistent across all Adyen standalone terminals.
🧷 Important Notes:
• Standalone mode = No POS integration. All payment flow decisions (like capture timing) are handled by terminal settings and merchant configuration.
• Auto-capture is the default and recommended mode for standalone use, especially for merchants without a back-office system managing transactions.
