PayTabs Gateway for WooCommerce

Key Features

Registers as a native WooCommerce payment method via the `woocommerce_payment_gateways` filter, extending `WC_Payment_Gateway` with its own wp-admin settings tab under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments

Card acceptance through PayTabs across KSA, UAE, Egypt and other supported MENA markets from a single merchant profile

Local payment methods including mada, Apple Pay and valU surfaced at checkout where the customer's PayTabs profile supports them

Choice of hosted PayTabs payment page or embedded iframe checkout so customers stay on your domain

Multi-currency aware — reads WooCommerce's active order currency and passes it to PayTabs at transaction time

Arabic / RTL-ready checkout: all gateway-facing strings pass through WordPress i18n functions and ship with a `.pot` file for translation, WPML-compatible

Server-side verification of PayTabs callbacks (IPN) before any WooCommerce order status transition, preventing spoofed payment confirmations

Refunds initiated directly from the WooCommerce order edit screen, calling the PayTabs refund API and writing the result to order notes

Recurring billing support for subscription-style charges via stored PayTabs tokens

HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage / custom order tables) compatible, declared via the `before_woocommerce_init` action

Transaction reference, payment method and PayTabs response code stored in order meta for reconciliation and support lookups

Sandbox / test-mode toggle so transactions can be validated end-to-end before go-live

About this Product

PayTabs Gateway for WooCommerce connects your WordPress store to PayTabs, the regional processor that lets MENA merchants settle in-region instead of juggling several foreign acquirers. ECOSIRE builds this gateway as a proper WooCommerce payment method — it registers through the woocommerce_payment_gateways filter, extends WC_Payment_Gateway, and exposes its own settings screen under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, so your team configures the PayTabs Profile ID and Server Key in wp-admin exactly where they expect to.

Shoppers can pay with cards across KSA, UAE, Egypt and beyond, plus local methods like mada, Apple Pay and valU, in either a hosted PayTabs page or an embedded iframe that keeps customers on your checkout. The gateway is multi-currency aware and respects your active currency at order time, and the checkout strings are wired through WordPress translation functions so an Arabic (RTL) checkout renders correctly — including when paired with WPML or a multilingual theme.

On the backend, order status transitions are driven by PayTabs callbacks (IPN) verified server-side, with the transaction reference written to order meta. Refunds are issued from the WooCommerce order screen and recurring billing is supported for subscription use cases. The gateway is built for HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage / custom order tables) so it works on modern WooCommerce installs.

This is a build-to-order plugin: there is no instant marketplace download. After purchase, ECOSIRE configures it against your PayTabs merchant account, installs it on your site, tests live and sandbox transactions, and hands it over working. The $99 is a one-time build fee.

What you get

Custom-built PayTabs gateway plugin packaged as a standard WordPress plugin and installed on your WooCommerce site by ECOSIRE

Configuration against your own PayTabs merchant account (Profile ID and Server Key) in WooCommerce → Settings → Payments

Sandbox and live transaction testing across at least one card and one configured local method (e.g. mada or Apple Pay)

Arabic translation strings (`.pot` / `.po` / `.mo`) and verified RTL checkout rendering

HPOS-compatibility verification on your current WooCommerce version

A short handover document covering settings, refund flow, and callback/IPN URL configuration

Who this is for

Gulf & MENA online retailer

A KSA, UAE or Egypt store owner who wants one regional processor handling cards plus mada and Apple Pay, settling locally instead of through a foreign acquirer.

Arabic-first store operator

A merchant whose customers shop in Arabic and expect a fully RTL, localized checkout — not an English payment page bolted onto an Arabic storefront.

WooCommerce store manager / agency

The person responsible for the WordPress install who needs the gateway built to current standards (HPOS, verified IPN, clean settings UI) and installed without breaking the existing checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions about PayTabs Gateway for WooCommerce

How long does delivery take, and how does the build-to-order process work?

After purchase, ECOSIRE confirms your WooCommerce version, PayTabs market and which local methods (mada, Apple Pay, valU) you need. Typical delivery is about 5–10 business days. We build the gateway, install it on your site, configure it against your PayTabs Profile ID and Server Key, run sandbox and live test transactions, then hand it over working. There is no instant marketplace download — the $99 is a one-time build fee.

What ongoing support and updates are included?

The build includes post-handover support for installation issues and configuration questions. Because this is a custom plugin, it is not pushed through the WordPress.org auto-updater — when WooCommerce or PayTabs ship breaking changes (for example a new HPOS requirement or PayTabs API revision), ECOSIRE provides compatibility updates under a support arrangement. We'll quote that separately so you only pay for maintenance you actually need.

Do I need my own PayTabs merchant account?

Yes. PayTabs underwrites and settles your transactions, so you must hold an active PayTabs merchant account with your Profile ID and Server Key. ECOSIRE builds and configures the WooCommerce integration around that account — we do not resell PayTabs processing or set your rates.

Will it work with my Arabic / multilingual store and HPOS?

Yes. Checkout strings pass through WordPress i18n functions and ship with translation files, so the gateway renders correctly in Arabic RTL and works alongside WPML. The plugin is built for HPOS (custom order tables) and declares compatibility via the `before_woocommerce_init` action, so it runs on modern WooCommerce installs.

Does it support refunds and recurring payments?

Refunds are issued from the WooCommerce order edit screen and call the PayTabs refund API, with the outcome logged to order notes. Recurring billing is supported via stored PayTabs tokens for subscription-style charges; if you use WooCommerce Subscriptions we confirm that pairing during the build.
