Tips and Resources

Over the recent weeks, we've learnt that teams use our integration-samples in different ways. This Gitpod blog from our Developer Advocate Julien explains how we enable developers to get started using a Cloud IDE. This environment can spin-up witin minutes and you, as a developer, can write code on-the-fly!

In the Google Pay with Firebase extension blog, our Developer Advocate Beppe has presented a new experimental way to integrate the Adyen platform using asynchronous events, a React frontend and the popular development platform: Firebase. In his blogpost you can read about how to perform a payment with GooglePay in a web based application.
