Which payment gateways should I offer on a UAE ecommerce site?

Last Updated: Nov 8, 20261 min read

UAE shoppers expect convenient and trusted payment options. Card payments through providers such as Stripe, Checkout.com, Network International, PayTabs or Telr are common, along with Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile. Cash on delivery remains popular in some categories, and buy now pay later options such as Tabby or Tamara can lift basket size.

Choose based on fees, settlement times, supported currencies, security and how smoothly they integrate with your platform. Availability depends on your licence and business type, so confirm eligibility with each provider.

Offer enough options to reduce drop-off but avoid clutter that slows checkout.

Options to consider:

  • Cards and wallets: Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Local gateways: providers with strong UAE bank support
  • Buy now pay later: instalment options for higher-value baskets
  • Cash on delivery: useful for trust, with returns and fraud controls
  • Bank transfer: for B2B and large orders
  • Security: PCI-compliant providers and 3D Secure

Our WordPress development company in Dubai sets up and tests gateways end to end, and a SEO company in Dubai can apply the same approach to other platforms.

Pro Tip

At Awrange, we place a test order through every payment method before launch, on mobile and desktop. Checkout bugs cost sales silently, so this check is non-negotiable.
