What can we learn from Spotify?
“Seeing payments as a driver and enable of growth has really helped us reach the fifty million plus paying subscribers that we have today.” - Andy Wiggan, Spotify's Head of Payments
“Optimizing the checkout flow with Adyen has been a big focus for us – for example, we went from a two-page checkout to a one-page checkout because we were able to leverage some of the technologies Adyen has while still outsourcing most requirements related to PCI compliance. In fact, we solved quite a few things around the customer experience with the Adyen integration. Another interesting example of improving the customer experience is when we recently launched in Indonesia with cash-based, ATM, and bank transfer payment methods. This was really important since the market is still primarily cash-based, card penetration is low, and people aren’t used to recurring subscriptions. This was the first time where the payment experience was actually a key part of the launch story for much of the local media.”
“It’s super important for us as a subscription business to make sure that recurring payments are successful. So we need to minimize involuntary churn – that is to say, churn that happens due to payment failure. We do this in a couple of different ways – one is by having rules in place to retry transactions that fail and then retry specific transaction failure reasons, and the other is by relying quite heavily on Adyen’s internal retry logic to maximize our retry success rates. We’ve seen significant improvements in our overall authorization rates on recurring subscriptions through that combined approach.”
The Solution
“A big advantage of working with Adyen is having a full payments stack of gateway, risk management, and acquiring in one system. This means we can make data-driven decisions on how to optimize our payments. In France, for example, we were able to increase our authorization rates by 10%.”

“Thanks to Adyen’s support of all popular payment methods, it is possible for BlaBlaCar to cater to local preferences and support targeted payment methods, all of which are managed from a single system. With Adyen, moving into new markets can be as easy as flipping a switch and adding a new payment method. This has been very helpful as we expanded into 6 countries in a single year.”
