### **Not sure where to start?**

Use this quick guide:

*   **No developers involved?** → Start with [**Payment Links**](696ce041097f75d4e3f6925c/696ce041097f75d4e3f6925e)
    
*   **Running a Shopify or WooCommerce store?** → Use an **E-commerce Plugin**
    
*   **Want a hosted payment page** → Go with **Hosted Checkout**
    
*   **Want an embedded payment experience, not redirection** → Go with **Pixel**
    
*   **Building a mobile app?** → Use the **Mobile SDKs**
    

<Callout attributes='{"isFitToPage":true,"dataType":"info","style":{"width":"100%","minWidth":"100%"}}'>
  <p>You can always switch or expand later as your business grows.</p>
</Callout>

### **How payments work (at a high level)**

No matter which integration you choose, the payment flow stays mostly the same:

<Steps attributes='{"style":{"width":"100%","minWidth":"100%"}}'>
<Step stepNumber="1" title=""><p>A customer starts a payment on your website or app</p></Step>
<Step stepNumber="2" title=""><p>Payment details are collected through a hosted or embedded checkout</p></Step>
<Step stepNumber="3" title=""><p>Paymob processes the payment and handles authentication</p></Step>
<Step stepNumber="4" title=""><p>Your system gets the result through a webhook</p></Step>
<Step stepNumber="5" title=""><p>The customer sees a success or failure confirmation</p></Step>
</Steps>

You don’t need to handle sensitive card data yourself. Paymob takes care of that.

### **Test vs. live environments**

Paymob gives you two environments to work with:

Option A: Payment Links (fastest start)
---------------------------------------

Payment links are ideal when you don’t have a website. You can share them via WhatsApp, social media, or any communication tool, and your customer pays on a hosted checkout page.

### Common use cases

*   Event tickets and reservations
    
*   Small businesses selling without a website or POS
    
*   Adding a payment link into an electronic invoice
    

<Divider />

Option B: Invoice Links (for services and custom orders)
--------------------------------------------------------

Send a customized invoice with full details and let customers pay online, with payment confirmation when the payment completes.

**Good for:**

*   Consulting, training, clinics, repairs
    
*   Deposits and partial payments
    
*   B2B collections
    

<Callout attributes='{"isFitToPage":true,"dataType":"warning","style":{"width":"100%","minWidth":"100%"}}'>
  <p>Important:</p>
</Callout>

Option C: Product Links (one link you can reuse)
------------------------------------------------

Create a product link once and share it broadly to reach customers wherever they are — no website needed.

**Good for:**

*   Tickets, subscriptions, digital goods
    
*   “Pay now” for a fixed-price service
    
*   Best-selling items you promote regularly
    

<Divider />

Security and compliance
-----------------------

With hosted checkout, your customers complete payment on a payment page handled by the payment provider, which helps keep sensitive card data off your website.

<Divider />

Go live checklist
-----------------

*   Confirm your business profile is complete and approved (documents).
    
*   Make sure the payment methods you want are enabled on your account.
    
*   Run a full test: link creation → payment → confirmation → refund/void (if applicable).
    
*   Train your team on what “paid” looks like in the dashboard (so orders don’t get missed).

</CardGroup>\## Integration flow

Every SDK payment starts from your backend by calling the **Intention Creation API**.

This step is responsible for:

*   Defining the amount and currency
*   Selecting the allowed payment methods
*   Linking the payment to your internal order or reference ID

The response includes an **intention reference (client secret)** that will be passed to the Mobile SDK.

In your mobile app (iOS or Android), initialize the Paymob Mobile SDK using the intention reference received from your backend.

At this stage:

*   The SDK is configured with the payment intention
*   No sensitive payment data is handled by your app

This keeps your mobile application outside the PCI scope.

Once initialized, the SDK presents Paymob's **native checkout UI** within your app, where the customer will complete the payment.

The checkout experience follows the platform's native look and feel, while Paymob handles **input validation, security, and any required authentication** (such as 3D Secure) seamlessly.

After the payment is processed, Paymob **sends callbacks to your backend** with the final payment result and **returns a status to the mobile app via the SDK callback**.

*   **Backend callbacks** must be used to confirm the final payment status, update orders, and trigger business actions.
*   **SDK callbacks** should be used only to update the UI and show success or failure messages.

Each callback can be authenticated using **HMAC verification** to ensure it was sent by Paymob and was not altered.

Always verify callbacks before trusting their data.

<Callout attributes='{"isFitToPage":true,"dataType":"warning","style":{"width":"100%","minWidth":"100%"}}'>
  <strong>Important:</strong>
  <p>Always rely on backend callbacks, not SDK responses alone, to confirm payment success. Backend callbacks are the source of truth.</p>

### Response

You'll receive a response, which is an object that represents an intention and includes all the intention details.

**Important parameters:** **Order ID**: Paymob order ID, which will be received in the transaction callback and can be used to correlate the transaction to the order on your system.

**Intention ID**: Paymob intention ID can be used to do the same of the Order ID.

**Client Secret**: A unique, intention-specific token used to redirect the customer to Paymob’s Unified Checkout or to render Paymob’s Pixel component.

<h3>Who is this for: Developers and technical stakeholders</h3>
<p>building online payment flows who need to understand Paymob's front-end checkout options and choose the one that best fits their product</p>
<p><strong>Outcome:</strong> Understand the checkout experiences supported by Paymob, and know when to use Unified Checkout vs. Pixel.</p>
</Card>

---

Paymob offers two flexible checkout experiences to help you accept payments online. Each experience supports different merchant needs and integration preferences, while both rely on Paymob's **Intention API** as the initial step.

### Checkout Options

#### Unified Checkout

**Unified Checkout** is Paymob's **redirect-based payment experience**. When a customer is ready to pay, you redirect them to Paymob's hosted checkout page, where they enter their payment details and complete the transaction.

The flow generally involves **creating a payment intention**, then directing the customer's browser to the hosted checkout using the generated client secret.

#### Pixel

**Pixel** is Paymob's **JavaScript SDK** that enables an **embedded checkout experience** directly on your site or application. Instead of redirecting the customer to a separate page, Pixel allows you to integrate payment elements inside your own UI.

Pixel is ideal for:

* Seamless, branded checkout experiences
* Embedded **Card, Apple Pay,** and **Google Pay**
* Businesses that want checkout UI inside their website without redirection

Pixel accepts configuration (such as payment methods and an HTML container ID) and uses the client secret from the previously created intention to render the payment UI in place.

### How They Work

Both checkout experiences share the same **initial requirement**:

1. **Create an intention** - Use the intention API to specify the payment amount, currency, and available methods. This returns a **client secret** that is unique to that payment attempt.
2. **Render checkout**
3. **Unified Checkout:** Redirect the customer to a hosted payment page using the client secret.
4. **Pixel:** Embed the payment UI inside your site using the SDK and client secret.

Paymob's **Mobile SDKs** allow you to integrate Paymob's checkout experience into mobile applications. They support rendering the checkout flow within mobile apps.

If you're already using **Unified Checkout** on the web, think of the mobile SDKs as the same idea but built specifically for mobile apps.

If your app is built with **Flutter** or **React Native**, you can still use the SDKs through our official bridging options.

### Supported Mobile SDKs

* **iOS SDK**
* **Android SDK**
* **Flutter Bridge**
* **React Native SDK**

### How does it work?

Mobile SDKs use the same backend flow as other Paymob checkout experiences. Before starting a payment in the mobile app, your system must create a payment intention and obtain a **client secret**, which will be used to initialize the SDK.

**1. Create Intention**

You need to call the Create Intention API to get a **client secret**.

**2. Initialize the SDK**

Initialize the Mobile SDK by passing:
* client secret
* public key
* Optional configuration parameters that control how the checkout UI is rendered

**3. Receive the payment results**

After the payment is completed, the SDK triggers **predefined callback functions** based on the payment status. You are required to implement the logic for these callbacks to define how your application should behave in each scenario.

IOS SDK

Android SDK

Flutter SDK

**Who is this for:** Developers who implement the integration

**Outcome:** Integrate the React Native SDK to create and complete payment intentions within your app.

This guide walks you through installing and using the Paymob React Native SDK so you can start accepting payments in your app.

**Installation Steps for React Native SDK**
-------------------------------------------

To get started with the `paymob-reactnative` package, follow these steps:

*   Open your terminal, navigate to your React Native project directory, and install the `paymob-reactnative` package using yarn:
    

`yarn add paymob-reactnative@https://github.com/PaymobAccept/paymob-reactnative-sdk.git`

<Divider />

**iOS**
-------

### **Install CocoaPods for iOS**

If you’re building for iOS, you’ll need CocoaPods to link the native SDK correctly.

From your project root, run:

Using Paymob
------------

To begin using the Paymob SDK in your react native application, start by importing the module in your component:

<div class="code-block-wrapper" style="width:100%;min-width:100%"><div class="code-block-header">Plain text</div><pre class="slate-CodeBlockElement slate-code_block"><code class="language-javascript keep-markup drop-tokens"><div class="slate-code_line">import Paymob, { PaymentResult, CreditCardType } from 'paymob-reactnative';</div></code></pre></div>

Customize the SDK
-----------------

You can adjust the SDK’s look and behavior to match your app’s branding before showing the payment screen.

<div class="code-block-wrapper" style="width:100%;min-width:100%"><div class="code-block-header">Plain text</div><pre class="slate-CodeBlockElement slate-code_block"><code class="language-javascript keep-markup drop-tokens"><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setAppIcon(base64Image); // Set your merchant logo using a base64 encoded image</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setAppName('Paymob SDK'); // Customize merchant app name displayed in the Paymob interface</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setButtonTextColor('#FFFFFF'); // Set the text color of buttons in the SDK</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setButtonBackgroundColor('#000000'); // Set the background color of buttons in the SDK</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setShowSaveCard(true); // Enable the option for users to save their cards</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setSaveCardDefault(true); // Set saved card option as default for transactions</div></code></pre></div>

These options help keep the payment experience consistent with your app’s design.

Listen for payment results
--------------------------

To handle payment results effectively, you can add a listener that will respond to different transaction statuses. This is crucial for providing feedback to users about their payment transactions:

<div class="code-block-wrapper" style="width:100%;min-width:100%"><div class="code-block-header">Plain text</div><pre class="slate-CodeBlockElement slate-code_block"><code class="language-javascript keep-markup drop-tokens"><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.setSdkListener((status: PaymentResult) => {</div><div class="slate-code_line">switch (status) {</div><div class="slate-code_line">case PaymentResult.SUCCESS:</div><div class="slate-code_line">// Handle successful payment</div><div class="slate-code_line">break;</div><div class="slate-code_line">case PaymentResult.FAIL:</div><div class="slate-code_line">// Handle failed payment</div><div class="slate-code_line">break;</div><div class="slate-code_line">case PaymentResult.PENDING:</div><div class="slate-code_line">// Handle pending payment status</div><div class="slate-code_line">break;</div><div class="slate-code_line">}</div><div class="slate-code_line">});</div></code></pre></div>

This listener will allow you to implement logic based on the result of the payment process, enhancing the user experience.

### Invoking the SDK

After configuring the SDK, you can invoke the Paymob payment interface with the following code:

<div class="code-block-wrapper" style="width:100%;min-width:100%"><div class="code-block-header">Plain text</div><pre class="slate-CodeBlockElement slate-code_block"><code class="language-javascript keep-markup drop-tokens"><div class="slate-code_line">const savedBankCards = [</div><div class="slate-code_line">{</div><div class="slate-code_line">maskedPan: '1234', // The masked card number displayed to the user</div><div class="slate-code_line">savedCardToken: 'CARD_TOKEN', // The token representing the saved card</div><div class="slate-code_line">creditCard: CreditCardType.MASTERCARD, // The type of the credit card (e.g., Mastercard)</div><div class="slate-code_line">},</div><div class="slate-code_line">];</div><div class="slate-code_line">Paymob.presentPayVC('CLIENT_SECRET', 'PUBLIC_KEY', savedBankCards);</div></code></pre></div>

**Note:** The `savedBankCards` parameter is optional. If you do not have saved bank cards to provide, you can simply call the `presentPayVC` method without it.

This function call opens the Paymob payment interface, allowing users to complete their transactions securely. Make sure to replace `'CLIENT_SECRET'` and `'PUBLIC_KEY'` with your actual credentials.

Here’s the updated explanation with a revised first sentence and the inclusion of the repository cloning step:

<p>who need to understand how Paymob updates a merchant's system with transaction details</p>
<p><strong>Outcome:</strong> Understand the different types of Paymob callbacks, their purposes, and HMAC calculation.</p>
</Card>

---

### Definition

**Transaction callbacks** are mechanisms used by Paymob to notify your system about payment-related events and transaction statuses. They ensure your platform stays in sync with what happens during and after a customer completes a payment.

### When does Paymob send the transaction callback?

Paymob sends the transaction callback only if the transaction **succeeds** or is **declined**

### Types of Transaction Callbacks

Paymob provides **two types of transaction callbacks** to keep both your system and your customers informed about payment results:

#### Transaction Processed Callback

Used to notify your backend system about transaction events and status changes, allowing you to update orders, trigger business logic, and keep your records in sync.

#### Transaction Response Callback

Used to redirect the customer back to your platform after payment, so you can display the payment result and guide the next user action.

Each callback serves a different purpose and is designed to support both **system-level handling** and **customer-facing communication**. Detailed technical implementation for each callback is covered in the following sub-page.

Webhook (Callbacks) & HMAC

Transaction callbacks

**Who is this for:** Technical product managers and developers who need to understand how they can authenticate Paymob callbacks.

**Outcome:** Understand the HMAC calculation mechanism.

<Divider />

### What is HMAC Authentication?

**HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code)** is a widely used cryptographic technique designed to ensure both the integrity and authenticity of a message. It combines a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-512) with a secret key and a string of data to produce a unique signature, known as an HMAC. This signature serves as a guarantee that the message has not been altered during transmission and confirms the identity of the sender.

Whenever you receive a callback from Accept, even if it's ([Processed, Response](695b93700c92ee7c7b34283f/695b93700c92ee7c7b342845), or **Card token**), it includes an **HMAC** query parameter. You should calculate the HMAC using the received data and compare it with the provided value to verify the callback’s authenticity.

### Calculation steps guidelines

At a high level, HMAC authentication works as follows:

*   Paymob sends transaction data along with an HMAC value.
    
*   You recreate this HMAC using the received data and your hmac secret key.
    
*   You compare your generated HMAC with the one received.
    
*   If both values match, the callback is verified and trusted.
    

This mechanism ensures that your system only processes valid callbacks sent by Paymob.

Subscription actions

When a webhook is registered to a subscription, any actions performed on the subscription will trigger a callback. This callback is sent as a POST request to the registered webhook, containing the updated subscription data. The HMAC value for this callback is provided in the body of the subscription callback request as a parameter named `hmac` (unlike transaction or card token callbacks, where it is typically sent as a query parameter).

### **HMAC Calculation Method**

#### 1\. **Extract the Relevant Parameters**

*   `subscription_data.id`: Subscription ID (`1264` in the example).
    
*   `trigger_type`: The action taken on the subscription (`suspended` in the example).
    

#### 2\. **Create the Concatenated String**

The string format is:

`”{action}for{subscription_id}”`

Example: The string for the above object is “suspendedfor1264“

#### 3\. **Hash the String**

*   Use the SHA-512 hashing algorithm.
    
*   Hash the concatenated string using the merchant’s HMAC secret key. (This step is the same as calculating HMAC for normal [callbacks](https://developers.paymob.com/egypt/manage-callback/transaction-callbacks).)
    

#### 4\. **Compare the HMAC**

Compare the HMAC value sent in the request body (`hmac` parameter) with the calculated HMAC. If they match, the request is authenticated.

<h3>Who is this for: Developers and technical teams</h3>
<p>who want to generate and manage payment links from their systems, rather than manually creating them through the dashboard</p>
<p><strong>Outcome:</strong> Understand what QuickLinks APIs are used for</p>
</Card>

---

QuickLinks APIs allow you to **programmatically create and manage payment links** using Paymob's backend APIs. These links can then be shared with customers to complete payments through a Paymob-hosted checkout experience.

### What Are QuickLinks APIs?

QuickLinks APIs enable you to:

* Create secure, Paymob-hosted payment links programmatically
* Define payment details such as amount, currency, and allowed payment methods
* Cancel payment links from your backend

Once created, a QuickLink can be shared with customers through any communication channel, allowing them to complete the payment without additional integration steps.

### Available API Operations

#### Create QuickLink

Use this API to generate a new payment link with predefined payment details and configurations.

#### Cancel QuickLink

Use this API to invalidate an existing payment link and prevent it from being used for future payments.

QuickLink APIs

### Endpoint:

`/api/ecommerce/payment-links/cancel`

### Method

**POST**

### **Authorization**

You should send a valid auth token as a Bearer Token.

**A bank/processor that acquires card transactions and settles funds to the merchant.**  

**Accept (Paymob Accept / Checkout)**  Paymob’s online checkout that supports card, wallets, BNPL, etc., via hosted page, plugins, SDKs, or APIs.  

**API Keys (Secret/Public)**  Credentials for API auth. **Secret** is server‑side; **Public** is safe for client init. Rotate on go‑live and incidents.  

**Apple Pay**   Wallet method using tokenized credentials from Apple devices. 

**Authorization (Auth)**  Real‑time issuer approval that reserves funds. May be captured later or reversed.  **Auth/Capture (Two‑step) payment process** that allows you to: 

1.  **Authorize** a payment (hold funds on the customer’s card).
    
2.  **Capture** the payment later (within a time window), either fully or partially.
    

This is useful when you want to **verify funds first**, then **charge only when the product/service is delivered**. **Use Cases** 

*   **E-commerce**: Authorize payment when an order is placed, capture only when shipped.
    
*   **Hotels**: Hold a deposit at check-in, capture actual charges at checkout.
    
*   **Car Rentals**: Hold a security deposit, capture only if there are extra charges.

**BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later)** UAE KSA  Installment providers (e.g., **Tabby**, **Tamara**). Terms vary by region/currency and affect refunds/settlement. **BIN / IIN (Bank Identification Number)**  First 6–8 digits of a card; used for routing and eligibility (scheme, issuer, card type). **Callback (Webhook / HMAC‑Signed)**  Server‑to‑server POST from Paymob for state changes. Verify HMAC, implement retries, and ensure idempotent handlers.**Capture**  Converts an approved authorization into a transaction for settlement (full or partial).  **Card on File (CoF)**  Tokenized card reference for future charges (CIT/MIT). Never store PAN; use Paymob tokens.  **Chargeback / Dispute**  Issuer/cardholder‑initiated reversal after settlement (not the same as _Refund_). Involves reason codes and timelines. **Checkout (Hosted Checkout)**  Hosted page that renders methods, handles 3DS, and returns users to your site/app.  **CIT / MIT**  Cardholder‑Initiated vs. Merchant‑Initiated Transaction (e.g., subscriptions). Impacts 3DS and descriptors.  **Descriptor**   Statement text shown to cardholders. Must meet acquirer limits (length/charset). Invalid descriptors can cause declines/disputes. **Environments (Test/Live)**  Separate base URLs, keys, and integration IDs per environment. Never mix.  **Google Pay**   Wallet method for Android/web. Requires gateway config. Region availability applies. **HMAC (Hash‑based Message Authentication Code)**  Signature to verify webhook authenticity/integrity. Compute locally and compare to header. **Integration ID**  An **Integration ID** is a unique identifier in your Paymob dashboard that links your account to a specific **payment method configuration** and **environment** (e.g., live or test). It’s required when making API calls to ensure the transaction uses the correct payment method and setup.  **Intention (Payment Intention / Intent)**  Represents what the customer intends to pay (amount, currency, method, return URLs). Orchestrates 3DS/redirects/callbacks. **Issuer (Issuing Bank)**  Cardholder’s bank that approves/declines an authorization.  **KYC (Know Your Customer)**  Compliance checks required for onboarding and method enablement. Impacts availability/limits in some regions. **KSA**  Regional marker for Saudi Arabia behavior/requirements. **Live Mode (Production)**  Production environment with real funds. Confirm descriptors, callbacks, and 3DS before switching. **MCC (Merchant Category Code)**  Four‑digit code identifying merchant vertical; influences risk, rules, and method availability. **MIT (CIT/MIT)**  Merchant‑initiated, typically off‑session (e.g., subscriptions). Often 3DS‑exempt with prior CIT/consent. **MPGS (Mastercard Payment Gateway Services)**  Mastercard’s gateway platform used by many acquirers; underpins processing/routing in multiple regions. **MIGS (Mastercard Internet Gateway Service)**  Legacy Mastercard internet gateway; largely replaced by MPGS; term persists in older setups.  **MOTO (Paymob MOTO)**  Paymob MOTO allows businesses to charge a customer's credit card without the card being physically present by using securely saved card tokens from previous transactions. This feature is useful for various businesses like hotels, service providers, and personal shoppers, enabling remote payment processing while prioritizing secure data handling.  **MOTO Use Cases:** 

*   **Hotels & Resorts**: Charge for room upgrades or facilities usage after the guest checks out.
    
*   **Service Providers**: Recurring or follow-up charges for services like cleaning, consulting, or repairs.
    
*   **Medical Clinics**: Charge for follow-up appointments or lab results without needing the card again.
    

**Network Token (Scheme Token)**  Tokenized credential issued by schemes to replace PAN and improve auth rates; distinct from gateway/Paymob tokens. **Order vs. Transaction**  _Order_ is your business object (cart/reference); _Transaction_ is the payment event (auth, capture, refund). Reconcile both. **Payment Link (Quick Link)**  Hosted URL you share to collect payment without a website. Configurable amount, expiry, and methods. **Use Cases:** 

*   **Freelancers & Consultants**: Send a payment link after completing a service.
    
*   **Small Businesses**: Collect payments for orders via WhatsApp or Instagram.
    
*   **Event Organizers**: Share links for ticket payments or deposits.
    
*   **Delivery Services**: Send a link once the order is confirmed.
    

 **PCI DSS**  Security standard for handling card data. Hosted checkout/fields and tokens reduce merchant PCI scope.  **Pixel (Native Payment Experience / JS SDK)**  Embedded component for app/web payments while keeping PCI scope minimized. Secrets stay server‑side. **Use Cases:** 

*   **E-commerce Platforms**: Embed checkout directly into product pages or carts.
    
*   **Mobile Apps**: Native payment flow without redirecting to external pages.
    
*   **Subscription Services**: Save cards securely for recurring billing.
    

 **Public Key (Client)**  Client‑side init key; never authorizes payments alone.  **Refund**  Merchant‑initiated return of captured funds (full/partial). BNPL/wallets may have constraints. **Reconciliation**  Match _Orders_ ↔ _Transactions_ ↔ _Payouts_. Keep merchant\_order\_id stable and log Paymob transaction\_id. **Saved Card Token (Token, Card Token)**  Opaque token representing a card for future charges. Scope/expiry defined by Paymob/acquirer.  **Settlement / Payout**  Funds moving from acquirer to merchant after capture/clearing; timing varies by method/currency/acquirer. **Split Payments**  Distribute a single payment to multiple beneficiaries/sub‑accounts per rules or percentages; impacts reconciliation. **Subscriptions**  Recurring billing using initial CIT (often 3DS) then scheduled MIT charges. Document retry windows and events. **Use Cases:** 

*   **Streaming Services**: Monthly billing for content access.
    
*   **Gyms & Fitness Centers**: Auto-renew memberships.
    
*   **Education Platforms**: Recurring payments for courses or tutoring.
    

**Tamara / Tabby** UAE KSA  Regional BNPL providers with specific onboarding, settlement, and refund rules. **Tokenization**  Replace PAN with a token chargeable later; reduces PCI scope and enables saved‑card, subscriptions, and MOTO. **Transaction Reference IDs**  Trackers like merchant\_order\_id (yours) and transaction\_id (Paymob/acquirer). Log both. **UAE**  Regional marker for United Arab Emirates behavior/requirements. **Void**  Cancel an authorization before capture (funds released). Not the same as _Refund_ (post‑capture). **Wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.)**  Tokenized device/browser payments; require region‑specific setup and merchant/domain verification. **Webhooks (Events)**  Notifications like authorized, captured, failed, refunded, subscription\_renewed. Verify HMAC, retry idempotently, and log.
