Selling in Jordan? Read our Jordan-only guide: payment gateways in Jordan, how to choose. This page covers Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman.
If you are launching an online store, choosing a payment gateway is not only a technical decision; it directly affects how many orders are completed. The right gateway depends on the country you target, the bank you work with, and how your customers prefer to pay.
Jordan
Cash on delivery is still the most used option in many Jordanian stores, so most new projects rely on it. For online payment there are several options, including eFAWATEERcom, the card gateways offered by local banks, and providers such as HyperPay and MadfoatCom.
In most cases it is best for a store to offer cash on delivery alongside at least one online payment option.
Saudi Arabia
Most shoppers rely on mada, with growing use of Apple Pay and installment services like Tabby and Tamara.
United Arab Emirates
Common options include Network International, Telr and PayTabs, plus Apple Pay and installment services.
Kuwait
KNET remains the main option, often used with MyFatoorah or Tap Payments.
Qatar
Among the most common are QPay and NAPS, alongside PayTabs.
Bahrain
Many customers use BenefitPay, in addition to Tap Payments and MyFatoorah.
Oman
Local options include OmanNet and Thawani.
Before you choose a gateway
Do not look only at the commission rate; also compare:
- Subscription or setup fees.
- How long until funds reach your account.
- The payment methods it supports.
- How easily it integrates with your store.
- Support for the currencies you need.
- The quality of technical support when something goes wrong.
How we handle this at Saree3
When we build an online store, we choose the right gateway with you for your market, implement the integration and test it before launch, so checkout runs smoothly from the first visit to order confirmation.
If you target more than one country, we also help you choose a setup that fits each market rather than one solution for everyone.
