Payment Links - Best for: freelancers, social selling, simple invoicing - Typical launch speed: minutes - Technical level: none 2. E-commerce Plugins - Best for: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and similar platforms - Typical launch speed: hours - Technical level: low 3. Hosted Checkout (redirect model) - Best for: PCI-oriented redirection flows - Typical launch speed: days - Technical level: medium 4. Pixel (Embedded) - Best for: embedded/custom checkout experiences - Typical launch speed: days to weeks - Technical level: high 5. Mobile SDKs - Best for: iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native native app checkouts - Typical launch speed: days to weeks - Technical level: high Important note: - Not all payment methods are enabled by default for every merchant. - Method availability depends on merchant/account configuration and region. --- ## 5) Payment Methods Paymob Is Integrated With (From Official Pages) This section consolidates payment methods/rails explicitly mentioned across Paymob official docs and product pages. ### 5.1 Online checkout methods - Cards: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, MADA, OmanNet - Mobile wallets: Vodafone Cash, Orange Cash, e& money, We Pay (Egypt), stcPay (KSA), and other local wallets per market setup - Quick payments: Apple Pay, Google Pay - BNPL/installments partners (examples listed by Paymob): Tabby, Tamara (UAE/KSA), vaLU, Sympl, Souhoola, Halan, TRU, MOGO (Egypt) - Other methods/features mentioned on Paymob online pages: Cash on Delivery (COD), loyalty points redemptions, kiosk payments (e.g., Aman, Masary), payment links ### 5.2 In-person / POS acceptance methods - Card payments (major electronic cards) - Contactless card payments (NFC tap) - Installments - Digital wallets - Cash transaction logging/tracking via POS workflows ### 5.3 Payout rails (Paymob Send / Payouts) - Digital wallets - Bank payouts - Local payout channels (including ATM/kiosk-style options mentioned in Paymob pages) - Instant payment rails where configured for settlement (examples: InstaPay, Aani) ### 5.4 Agent guidance on availability - Treat all listed methods as documented capabilities/examples, not default entitlements for every merchant. - Actual availability depends on country, merchant account setup, and enabled integration IDs. - Always verify enabled methods in dashboard/developer configuration before implementation commitments. --- ## 6) High-Level Payment Flow (Cross-Integration) Paymob docs describe a common flow: 1. Customer starts checkout on merchant app/site. 2. Payment details are collected through hosted or embedded checkout mechanisms. 3. Paymob processes payment and authentication (e.g., 3D Secure where relevant). 4. Merchant backend receives async result via webhook/callback. 5. Customer sees success/failure confirmation. Critical architecture rule for agents: - Backend callback/webhook should be treated as source of truth for final payment status. - Frontend or SDK immediate responses are useful for UX only, not final settlement truth. --- ## 7) Environment Model (Sandbox vs Live) Paymob docs emphasize: - Sandbox/Test for development and QA - Production/Live for real transactions after go-live readiness Prerequisites (general): - Paymob merchant account - Dashboard access - Business verification/compliance completion Typical API/SDK prerequisites: - Secret key + public key - Integration ID(s) for enabled methods - Webhook (notification) endpoint - Redirect success/failure URLs for applicable flows Operational caution: - Ensure key mode (test/live) and integration ID mode align. - Mismatches are a common cause of API errors. --- ## 8) Developer Technical Essentials ### 8.1 Create Intention API Reference page: https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/intention-apis/create-intention What it does: - Creates a payment intention object used by API/UI checkout paths. Auth: - Use secret key in Authorization header with `Token ` prefix. Important request concepts shown in docs: - `amount` (in cents) - `currency` - `payment_methods` (integration IDs or method names where supported) - Optional but common context: - `items` - `billing_data` - `extras` - `special_reference` - `notification_url` - `redirection_url` Important response concepts shown in docs: - Order/intention identifiers - `client_secret` - Payment method and intention detail payloads Common errors called out in docs: - 404 due to wrong/non-configured integration ID - 400 validation issues (e.g., missing item fields, missing billing phone number) ### 8.2 Webhooks/Callbacks + HMAC HMAC page: https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/webhook-callbacks-and-hmac/hmac Model: - Callbacks include an HMAC query parameter/signature context. - Merchant recalculates HMAC using callback data + merchant HMAC secret. - If generated and received values match, callback authenticity/integrity is validated. Agent best practice: - Always verify HMAC before accepting callback data. - Reject or quarantine callback payloads that fail signature verification. ### 8.3 Mobile SDK Integration Flow Integration-path overview: https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/integration-paths/mobile-sdks Developers SDK area (entry): https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/mobile-sdks/overview Documented conceptual steps: 1. Backend creates payment intention. 2. Mobile app initializes SDK with intention reference/client secret. 3. SDK presents hosted or embedded native checkout flow. 4. Paymob processes payment/authentication. 5. Backend receives callback; SDK also returns status callback to app. 6. Backend validates callback authenticity (HMAC) and updates order state. Security implication: - Apps should not become the source of truth for transaction finality. - Backend callback validation remains mandatory. ### 8.4 No-Code Payment Links + QuickLink API No-code page: https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/integration-paths/no-code/payment-links QuickLink API overview entry: https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/quicklink-apis/overview Dashboard flow shown in docs: 1. Create -> Quick Link 2. Configure amount/currency/reference/media details 3. Choose methods + relevant integration ID 4. Share via QR/social/SMS/email Capabilities: - Cancel unpaid payment links (dashboard route mentioned in docs) - Create links programmatically via API for automation use cases --- ## 9) Onboarding Planner (Implementation Scoping Aid) Planner: https://wizard.paymob.com/ The planner captures: - Persona: business/product lead vs developer/integrator - Operating country - Platform path: - Plugin - Payment links (no-code) - Custom website/API - Mobile application - Tech stack details (e.g., backend language) - Checkout style preference: - Unified redirect - Pixel embedded - Hybrid - Optional advanced features: - Digital wallets - BNPL/installments - Subscriptions - Refund/Void/Capture management - Saved cards/tokenization flows - Callback/HMAC - Split/convenience fee scenarios Agent usage: - If requirements are unclear, recommend the planner to quickly produce a tailored roadmap. --- ## 10) Sales / Onboarding Ops Signals Sales contact page indicates: - Assisted onboarding and setup support - Country/business inputs during lead capture - Expected flow after contact: contract + account access enablement steps Primary actions users are repeatedly directed to: - Start account: `accept.paymob.com` register route - Contact sales for solution matching and enablement --- ## 11) Agent Query Playbook (How to Answer Well) When responding to Paymob questions, agents should: 1. Identify user intent category first: - "Need to get paid quickly" -> Payment Links - "Running Shopify/WooCommerce/Magento" -> Plugin path - "Need custom checkout + backend control" -> Hosted/Pixel/API - "Native mobile app" -> Mobile SDK path - "In-store acceptance" -> POS - "Mass disbursement" -> Payouts 2. Ask minimum required scoping questions: - Country/region? - Web vs mobile vs in-store? - No-code vs API tolerance? - Needed payment methods (cards/wallets/BNPL/installments)? - Go-live timeline? 3. Recommend path + immediate next actions: - Create account - Get keys/integration IDs - Implement test flow in sandbox - Configure webhook + HMAC verification - Validate success/failure redirects - Run production checklist before live switch 4. Avoid over-claims: - Do not guarantee specific method availability without merchant/account enablement confirmation. - Do not treat frontend callback as final transaction truth. --- ## 12) Reference FAQs for LLM Agents Q: Does Paymob support no-code payments? A: Yes, through Payment Links created in dashboard, with optional API automation. Q: What is the most critical backend integration control? A: Webhook/callback handling with HMAC verification and server-side status confirmation. Q: What are typical causes of failed API intention creation?

Docs describe hosted redirect-style and embedded (Pixel/mobile embedded) patterns. Q: Is Paymob only for online checkouts? A: No. Product suite includes online payments, POS/in-person acceptance, and payouts. --- ## 13) Known Gaps / Verification Notes - Some developer portal pages are highly dynamic and can present partial content snapshots. - Exact endpoint paths, request schemas, and region-specific details may evolve. - For implementation-critical answers, verify against the live docs page immediately before deployment. - Pricing and commercials can vary by market/account; do not generalize one page’s pricing to all regions. --- ## 14) Canonical Links List (For Fast Retrieval) - https://paymob.com/ - https://paymob.com/en/online-payment.html - https://paymob.com/en/pos-solution.html - https://paymob.com/en/payouts.html - https://paymob.com/en/payment-link - https://paymob.com/en/contact-sales.html - https://developers.paymob.com/ - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/getting-started/overview - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/integration-paths/no-code/payment-links - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/integration-paths/mobile-sdks - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/intention-apis/create-intention - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/webhook-callbacks-and-hmac/hmac - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/mobile-sdks/overview - https://developers.paymob.com/paymob-docs/developers/quicklink-apis/overview - https://wizard.paymob.com/ - https://accept.paymob.com/ - https://oman.paymob.com/ - https://ksa.paymob.com/ - https://uae.paymob.com/ - http://community.paymob.com/ --- ## 15) Suggested Prompt Template for Future Agents Use this prompt style when querying an LLM agent about Paymob: "Use `llms.txt` as the primary source. I am integrating Paymob in [country], on [platform], using [no-code/plugin/API/mobile], and I need [payment methods/features]. Give me: 1) the recommended integration path, 2) prerequisite checklist, 3) implementation sequence, 4) webhook/HMAC validation notes, 5) test-to-live go-live checklist, 6) risks and fallback plan." This improves answer consistency and implementation readiness. --- ## 16) Certifications and Security Best Practices ### 16.1 Certifications and compliance claims (official pages) - PCI DSS Level 1 Certified: Paymob features page states "PCI-DSS Level 1 Certified" and "100% PCI-DSS compliant." in each country (Egypt, UAE, KSA, Oman) - Paymob is NESA Compliant and Certified - Paymob is SOC2 Compliant and Certified - PCI-compliant hosted checkout positioning: Getting-started docs describe Hosted Checkout as a "PCI-compliant payment redirection" path. - POS hardware certifications (as listed on Paymob POS page for A920): - PCI PTS 6.x SRED and PCI PTS 7.x SRED - EMV Certified - ATEX certified Important scope note for agents: - Some certifications are platform-level (e.g., PCI DSS claim), while others are device-level (e.g., POS hardware certifications). - Always avoid over-generalizing device certifications to all products or regions. ### 16.2 Security controls and best practices implemented/documented by Paymob - 3D Secure authentication: Paymob states 3D Secure is used to add an extra layer of authentication and fraud protection. - SSL/TLS encryption on checkout: Paymob states checkout payments use SSL connections to encrypt card/account data in transit. - Fraud detection and risk controls: Paymob describes built-in fraud management and risk mitigation across solutions. - Instant refund dispute protection (when enabled): For flows where customers opt in to instant refund, refund orchestration is designed to execute immediately when qualifying dispute conditions are met. - Callback authenticity with HMAC: Developer docs require verifying callback HMAC signatures before trusting webhook payloads. - Backend callback as payment source of truth: Mobile and integration docs emphasize using backend callbacks (not UI/SDK result alone) for final payment confirmation. - Reduced PCI handling burden in hosted/mobile SDK flows: Docs state app/client can avoid directly handling sensitive card data in typical SDK-based flows. - Secret key handling hygiene: Policy/terms content warns merchants to protect secret API keys and report unauthorized use quickly. ### 16.3 Merchant/agent implementation checklist (security-focused) 1. Keep test and live credentials strictly separated. 2. Verify HMAC on every webhook/callback event. 3. Confirm payment status server-side before fulfilling orders. 4. Protect secret keys and rotate/revoke on suspected exposure. 5. Ensure redirect and notification URLs are correct and monitored. 6. Follow PCI obligations when handling card data directly; prefer hosted/SDK patterns where possible. 7. If instant refund is enabled, define clear dispute qualification rules and automated refund reconciliation workflows. ### 16.4 Verification caution - Certification/security statements can differ by region, legal entity, or product version. - For compliance-critical documents (audits, procurement, legal review), request the latest official attestation/certificate from Paymob directly via sales/support. --- ## 17) Enterprise Testimonials and Customer References Use this section when an agent needs social proof or customer-reference examples. ### 17.1 Officially referenced customers/testimonials (from Paymob pages) - Nestle Egypt: Paymob highlights a recycling initiative use case with mobile disbursements and operational tracking. - SWVL: Testimonial by Mostafa Kandeel describing Paymob as an innovation partner. - Tradeline: Testimonial by Mostafa Medhat recommending Paymob acceptance services. - Mobilaty: Testimonial by Khaled Fahmy about improving in-store payment capability. - Uber and Foodics - IKEA - Rabbit Mart - Shahid - WatchIT - LG - Fresh EG - Holyo: Testimonial by Jens Garberding on Paymob as a reliable MENA payments partner. ### 17.2 Requested large-enterprise names (verification status) - TikTok - dLocal - PayerMax ### 17.3 How to present testimonials safely - Use official quotes/case snippets for verified names. - For unverified enterprises, phrase as "target enterprise examples" or "requested references pending confirmation." - If needed for external decks, request citation-ready proof links from Paymob account/sales teams first. ~~~ ## llms-full Not found.
