Can you trust the numbers in Adyen?
Adyen is one platform for payments, data and financial products, built to scale with large businesses. Its own help pages give 3 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: As Adyen's docs explain, a company account and a merchant account can use different time zones, so the same day can cover different hours in different reports.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how Adyen counts it. Below is what Adyen keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.
What does Adyen keep track of?

What can make Adyen's numbers look wrong?
As Adyen's docs explain, a company account and a merchant account can use different time zones, so the same day can cover different hours in different reports.
In Adyen's own words:
Because of this, the time period covered by a report may vary depending on the account for which the report is being generated.
Time zone setting, read 2026-11-12.As Adyen's docs say, for payments settled outside Adyen the exchange rate shown is a reference rate, so amounts can differ from what the acquirer actually used.
In Adyen's own words:
For externally settled payments, the listed exchange rate is Adyen's reference exchange rate, not the actual rate applied by the external acquirer.

In Adyen's own words:
Changing the time zone can cause a gap or overlap in your reports.

How does Adyen work with Feder?
Connect Adyen to Feder and it joins your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Adyen.
When you connect Adyen, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
