Local payment gateways across 22 Arab countries
A regional overview of payment methods Mrfqy supports — from Paymob and Fawry in Egypt to Tap, Moyasar, HyperPay, and PayTabs in the Gulf.
Arab e-commerce is fragmented by design: each country has dominant wallets, local card schemes, and cash habits that international-only platforms ignore. Mrfqy is built Arabic-first for 22 Arab markets, integrating gateways merchants already contract with locally. This overview helps you plan multi-country expansion or choose the right methods for your primary market.
North Africa: Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Sudan
Egypt leads with Paymob, Fawry, Kashier, wallets, Meeza, ValU, COD, and growing InstaPay adoption. Most Egyptian Mrfqy merchants enable at least two online methods plus COD.
Morocco and Tunisia rely on local card acquirers and cash-on-delivery networks; gateway names differ from the Gulf — verify settlement currency (MAD, TND) before pricing. Algeria and Libya present cash-heavy, logistics-challenged environments: prioritize COD clarity and SMS order confirmations.
Sudanese ecommerce often combines bank transfers and COD; card penetration varies. Mrfqy's country configuration lets you show only methods available per storefront locale.
Levant: Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen
Jordan and Palestine commonly use HyperPay and bank-card combinations with COD in peripheral areas. Display prices in JOD or ILS per store configuration.
Lebanon's dual-currency reality requires honest pricing updates — automate exchange notes in product copy when possible. Iraq and Yemen are COD-dominant; online prepayment grows in urban centers but trust barriers remain.
Syrian merchants often need flexible manual payment confirmation workflows; keep support channels visible in Arabic on checkout.
