Sign up with an online payment provider operating in Egypt, such as Paymob or Fawry, and connect it to your store with a plugin or an API. Then turn on the payment methods your customers actually use, and test payments and refunds end to end before launch.
Step by step
- 1
Know how your customers pay
Bank cards, mobile wallets, cash payment with a code at collection outlets, and installments. Turn on what suits your audience.
- 2
Compare providers
Paymob lists cards, wallets and payment at collection outlets on its site, and Fawry offers online checkout, payment links and the FawryPay reference code service. Compare methods, fees, payout times and support.
- 3
Prepare the merchant file
Ask the provider which documents your business needs, and prepare a bank account in the business's name to receive the funds.
- 4
Connect and test
Use a ready-made plugin for your platform, such as WooCommerce, or an API integration, and run successful, declined and refunded test transactions before launch.
- 5
Make payment clear to customers
Show the available payment methods before the checkout page, and write a clear refund policy.
- 6
Reconcile settlements
Each week, check what the provider paid into your account against paid orders and the fees deducted.
Choosing the gateway on fees alone without testing the checkout on mobile. A slow or confusing checkout can lose orders worth more than the lower fees save.
