About this Product
If you sell in the MENA region, routing every order through PayTabs is the difference between a checkout shoppers trust and a cart they abandon. This is a build-to-order Shopify integration: ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports a PayTabs payment connection wired to your exact store, currencies and settlement accounts. It is not an instant App Store download — we configure it to your PayTabs merchant profile and hand you a working checkout.
Because Shopify Payments is unavailable to most MENA merchants, PayTabs becomes your primary acquirer. We integrate it cleanly so customers pay with regional Visa, Mastercard and mada cards plus local methods without leaving your storefront, and so 3D-Secure and PayTabs fraud screening run on every transaction.
Under the hood we use Shopify's supported payment surfaces and the Admin GraphQL API, registering webhooks for orders/create, orders/paid and refund events so PayTabs callbacks and Shopify order state stay in lockstep. Transaction references, settlement currency and acquirer response codes are written to order metafields for clean reconciliation and reporting. Authentication uses Shopify OAuth with least-privilege scopes.
We handle multi-currency settlement (SAR, AED, EGP, USD and more), recurring and one-time payments, and full or partial refunds initiated from the Shopify admin and reflected back through PayTabs. Every build includes sandbox testing against your PayTabs test profile, a live verification transaction, and a documented handover. You own the result; we support and maintain it after launch. Honest delivery: a typical build ships in 5–10 business days depending on the local methods and settlement currencies you need enabled.
What you get
- A custom PayTabs payment integration built for your specific Shopify store, currencies and settlement accounts
- OAuth-based installation onto your store with least-privilege Admin GraphQL API scopes
- Configured webhooks (orders/create, orders/paid, refunds) and metafield schema for transaction reconciliation
- Sandbox validation against your PayTabs test profile and one live verification transaction
- Refund workflow (full and partial) operable from the Shopify admin
- Configuration and operations handover document plus an agreed post-launch support window

Frequently Asked Questions about PayTabs Payment Gateway
Is this an instant Shopify App Store download?
No. This is a build-to-order integration. After purchase, ECOSIRE builds and installs the PayTabs connection configured to your store, currencies and PayTabs merchant profile. You receive a working, tested checkout rather than a self-install app.
How long does delivery take?
A typical build ships in 5–10 business days. The exact lead time depends on how many local payment methods and settlement currencies you need enabled and how quickly we receive your PayTabs merchant and sandbox credentials. We confirm a target date after a short scoping call.
What do I need from PayTabs before you start?
An active PayTabs merchant account with API/profile credentials, your sandbox (test) profile for validation, and the settlement currencies and local methods you want enabled. We guide you through gathering these during scoping.
Do you provide ongoing support and updates?
Yes. Every build includes a post-launch support window, and ECOSIRE maintains the integration against Shopify Admin API version changes and PayTabs API updates. Extended support and maintenance plans are available so the gateway keeps working as both platforms evolve.
Which currencies and payment methods are supported?
Whatever your PayTabs account is provisioned for — commonly SAR, AED, EGP and USD for settlement, with regional Visa/Mastercard, mada and local methods at checkout. We configure the specific subset you request and verify each with test transactions.
Does it handle refunds and 3D-Secure?
Yes. Full and partial refunds are initiated from your Shopify admin and pushed back through PayTabs, with order metafields updated. 3D-Secure 2.x and PayTabs fraud screening run on every authorization.
