Integration Services
We connect PayTabs to your checkout and to the system behind it, built for how cards actually work in the Gulf.
PayTabs takes the payment across the Gulf, where a checkout built for European or American cards tends to fall over. Local schemes route differently, authentication is not optional, and the moment a payment is genuinely complete is not the moment the customer sees a success screen. We build the checkout and the link back to your own system around how it actually works.
Most of this work arrives as part of a wider build, so if the system on the other side does not exist yet, we write that too. That side of it is covered on our CRM and ERP development page.
The authentication screen appears, something goes wrong on the way back, and the order never exists even though the money moved.
A perfectly good card is refused because the checkout was built assuming international schemes.
The browser came back with a success message, so the order shipped. The payment never actually completed.
Money arrives in the bank in batches with fees deducted and no way to tie it back to orders.
| Record | Direction | How It Is Handled |
|---|---|---|
| Payment requests | Your system to PayTabs | Created on your server with the amount calculated there, never taken from the browser. |
| Authentication result | PayTabs to your system | Delivered as a server to server callback and verified by signature, which is what the order status is based on. |
| Transaction status | Both ways | Your system can also ask PayTabs directly, which is what covers a callback that never arrived. |
| Refunds | Your system to PayTabs | Raised from your own screens, full or partial, and written back against the original transaction. |
| Saved cards and tokens | By agreement | Held by PayTabs rather than by you, so repeat customers do not re-enter a card and you do not store one. |
| Settlement reports | PayTabs to your system | Each payout broken down into the transactions and fees behind it, so finance can reconcile. |
This is the starting point rather than a fixed list. The final version is agreed with you and written into the scope before the build begins.
In Saudi Arabia a great many cards run on mada, and a checkout that assumes every card is an international one will see them declined. The card number itself decides the routing, so this has to be handled in the flow rather than explained to the customer afterwards.
The customer leaves for a bank screen and comes back. Everything your page knew has to survive that round trip, and the return is a hint that something happened rather than proof of what. Flows built without this in mind lose orders at exactly the wrong moment.
The only reliable word that a payment succeeded is the server to server callback, verified by its signature. Anything the browser reports can be replayed or faked. Orders marked paid from a redirect are how stores ship goods they were never paid for.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Oman and Jordan are configured separately, with their own credentials and currency. A single set of keys covering everything is the assumption that breaks a regional rollout.
The bank deposit arrives later, in a batch, with fees already taken out, so it never matches an order total. We pull the settlement breakdown, which is the only thing that makes reconciliation possible.
Which markets, which currencies, hosted page or your own form, and what marks an order as paid. Settled before anything is built.
The whole journey is exercised with test cards, including the authentication challenge, declines, timeouts and partial refunds.
On a real device, with a real local card where possible, watching your own records change as you go.
Missed callbacks are re-checked against PayTabs on a schedule, and anything unresolved raises an alert instead of becoming a support ticket.
No. The card is entered on a page hosted by PayTabs, so the numbers never touch your system or ours. That is also what keeps your compliance obligations light.
Yes, and it has to. A checkout in Saudi Arabia that only expects international cards will lose a large share of its customers.
The order is not decided by the browser. The callback and a scheduled status check settle it, so a closed tab delays the update rather than losing the payment.
Yes. Each country is configured separately with its own credentials and currency, and we set that up as part of the build rather than leaving it for later.
Scope decides it. One country with a hosted page is a small job. Several countries, saved cards and settlement reconciliation each add to it. We settle what will be built first, then put your own schedule in writing with start and delivery dates.
You own the source code. Once payment is complete, everything produced for the project passes into your company’s ownership. That is written into the agreement before work starts, alongside the scope and the price.
