Payments and shipping on your free Mrfqy store: Egypt, GCC, and beyond
Paymob, Fawry, COD, Tap, Bosta, Aramex — configure local checkout on Starter without upgrading.
A beautiful storefront that cannot collect money is a portfolio site. Starter merchants get real payment gateways and shipping zones — not 'contact us to order.' This guide maps Egypt, Saudi, UAE, and cross-Arab setup on the free lifetime plan.
Egypt: Paymob, Fawry, COD
Paymob covers cards, Meeza, wallets, ValU installments — connect API keys from Paymob dashboard to Mrfqy payments panel.
Fawry reference payments for customers outside card habit — charge small Fawry fee to customer or absorb.

Test 1 EGP live transaction; void in Paymob if needed.

COD still used in KSA outside major cities — toggle per zone.
