How do I connect Paymob or Kashier to my store in Egypt?
The short answer
In “Shipping & payment” → “Payment methods” enable Kashier with your merchant ID and key, or Paymob with its API key, HMAC and integration and iframe numbers. Both take bank cards and mobile wallets (Vodafone Cash and others), and Kashier adds bank-card instalments. The money reaches you from the gateway directly under your contract.

The steps in the store panel
- Open payment methods
In “Shipping & payment” pick “Payment methods”; Kashier and Paymob show for a store in Egyptian pounds.
- Kashier
From the Kashier dashboard: Integration → API Keys, copy the MID and key, paste them on the Kashier card, and switch on card, wallet and instalments as your account allows.
- Paymob
From the Paymob dashboard: Settings → Account Info, copy the API Key and HMAC, plus the card integration number and iframe number, and the wallet integration number for wallets.
- Paymob's callback links
Paste the “Transaction processed” and “Transaction response” links shown on the Paymob card into the Paymob dashboard. Kashier needs nothing more.
- Save and test
Press “Save”, then order from your store with online payment and follow it under “Recent online payments”.
What you should know
- One Paymob or Kashier account takes both card and wallet; Kashier wallets must be switched on in your Kashier account, and Paymob wallets need a Mobile Wallet integration number.
- Kashier offers instalments on the bank cards your account supports.
- Paymob takes Egyptian pounds only.
- You can give a discount to those who pay online instead of cash on delivery, which cuts refused deliveries. Cash-on-delivery rules.
