Payment gateways for online stores in
Jordan & the Gulf

If you are building an online store in Jordan or the Gulf, the payment gateway is not a detail, it decides whether customers actually check out. The right choice depends on your market, your bank, and how your customers prefer to pay. Here is the practical landscape in 2026.

Jordan: eFAWATEERcom, cards and cash on delivery

In Jordan, cash on delivery (COD) still drives a large share of orders, so almost every store needs it. For online payment, the main routes are eFAWATEERcom, card gateways through local banks, and processors like HyperPay and MadfooatCom. A good store offers COD plus at least one online option.

The Gulf: local rails matter

• Saudi Arabia: Mada is essential, with Apple Pay and buy-now-pay-later (Tabby, Tamara) increasingly expected.
• UAE: Network International, Telr, PayTabs, plus Tabby and Apple Pay.
• Kuwait: KNET is the default, usually with MyFatoorah or Tap.
• Qatar: NAPS/QPay and PayTabs.
• Bahrain: BenefitPay first, then Tap or MyFatoorah.
• Oman: Thawani and OmanNet.

What to look at before you choose

• Fees: setup, per-transaction percentage, and fixed fee. They vary widely.
• Settlement time: how many days until the money reaches your bank.
• Supported methods: does it cover the local rails your customers actually use?
• Integration: a good gateway has a clean checkout and a developer-friendly API.
• Currencies: multi-currency matters if you sell across the Gulf.
