For platforms on Adyen for Platforms
The sub-merchant portal your platform is missing.
Collimate is the white-label portal your sub-merchants log into, the admin panel your team runs them from, and the onboarding flow that gets them live — for platforms already running on Adyen for Platforms.
Adyen holds the funds and owns verification. Collimate is the software layer your team and your sub-merchants work in.
01 / The problem
“Where is my payout? Why is my account limited? What does this status mean?” Every one of those is answerable from Adyen — but only by someone with access to it, which is your team, not the sub-merchant asking.
A platform on Adyen for Platforms can onboard sellers and move money the day it integrates. What it cannot do is give those sellers somewhere to look. So operations sits in front of Adyen, translating, all day.
"Verification pending" tells nobody what to do next. Every status Collimate surfaces carries a reason and a next action — that is the difference between a dashboard and a queue.
02 / The answer
Collimate is white-label software for platforms on Adyen for Platforms. It reads your Adyen account and turns it into three things: a portal your sub-merchants log into, an admin panel your team runs them from, and an onboarding flow that gets them live. Adyen still holds the funds and makes the verification decisions.
Sub-merchant portal
Earnings after fees, transactions, payouts and verification status, on your brand and your subdomain. The answer to “where is my payout?” is already on screen.
Solves 01Questions by email
Tenant admin panel
Every sub-merchant and the state of its onboarding in one list. Invite sellers and admins, manage credentials and see capabilities without opening Adyen.
Solves 02Ops as a human API
Onboarding flow
Invited sellers complete Adyen's legal-entity form, mirrored one to one. When verification stalls, the reason and the next action are on screen for the seller and for your team.

03 / Fit
Collimate is narrow on purpose. Below is the profile it was built around and the profiles it was not — stated here rather than discovered on a call, because a demo you should not have taken costs you more than it costs us.
04 / What your sub-merchants see
Tenant-branded, on your subdomain. The place a sub-merchant goes instead of emailing your team.
Built for the owner-operator who wants one number in ten seconds, and for the finance user who needs to reconcile to the cent.

Where your team sees every sub-merchant and the state of its onboarding — without opening an Adyen ticket.

1234123406 / Your brand
Your sub-merchants sign in to something that looks like you, on a dedicated subdomain we configure at setup. Tenant-managed custom domains are the target model, and are not in the first release.
We configure your tenant instance — branding, theme, domain and module policy. You never build or maintain a portal variant.
1107 / Where the truth lives
The shortest security review is the one where most of the surface does not exist. Collimate is a projection of Adyen's state, not a parallel ledger.
08 / How you go live
Collimate is configured, not self-service. Your tenant instance is set up for you — you are not asked to build, theme or maintain anything, which is why go-live is counted in weeks rather than quarters. Design partners are the first platforms to run it end to end.
Generated by you, in your own Adyen account, and handed over. Test and production separately.
Logo, palette, type, and the policy choices that decide which modules your sub-merchants get.
Instance, subdomain, TLS, theming, module flags and identity — configured by us, on a shared codebase, with no fork of the product for you to inherit.
Invite a test seller, complete onboarding, watch verification statuses flow through. Then the same loop against production keys, and your team takes over inviting.
09 / Who's behind it
Collimate is built by Kindgeek, a fintech software company. There is no logo wall here because we have not earned one yet — so here is the relevant prior art instead.
Onboarding and know-your-business flows built against a regulated provider's entity model — the same handoff Collimate performs to Adyen.
Direct experience of the state-reconciliation problems that make payment operations hard to get right.
10 / Questions
No. Adyen holds the funds and remains the system of record for balances and payouts. Collimate reads that state and instructs Adyen through its APIs; money never flows through us.
No. We collect onboarding data in Adyen's own legal-entity model and pass it to Adyen, which owns the decision. We surface the resulting status with enough detail for your team to act on it.
No. Payment interfaces are Adyen's hosted components, so card data never reaches Collimate infrastructure.
Yes. The sub-merchant portal carries your branding on a dedicated subdomain. Branding and domain are configured for you when your tenant is provisioned, rather than being a self-service theming tool.
Yes. Collimate is a layer on top of your existing Adyen for Platforms setup, not a payment provider and not an alternative to one.
Weeks. Provisioning your tenant is configuration — instance, subdomain, theming, module policy and identity — not a build, and the work that would make it months is work you are not asked to do. What you supply is Adyen keys, branding and policy choices; the long pole after that is your own team validating on test credentials before you switch to production.
In build, with design partners. We would rather tell you that now than have you discover it in month three.
