Overview
SynraPay is a payment gateway for merchants in the UAE and the wider MENA region. We give you a single integration for accepting cards online â the checkout page, the routing to acquirers, the risk screening and the reporting all sit behind one API.
Our mission is to make payment acceptance quick to integrate and predictable to operate. Whether you run a custom storefront, a WooCommerce shop or a mobile app, the same three calls get you live.
To begin, sign in to the merchant dashboard and collect your API credentials. From there:
- Create a sandbox order
- Make a test payment with a test card
- Handle the webhook result on your server
- Check the transaction in the merchant dashboard
- Switch the host and go live
The integration you build against sandbox ships unchanged to production. Signing is mandatory in every environment and the route paths are identical â going live means changing the hostname, nothing else.
Accept online payments
Merchants can accept payments through our gateway in the following ways:
Pre-built solutions
With our pre-built solutions you can start accepting payments without building a checkout UI yourself â card data is collected on SynraPay's hosted page, which keeps card details out of your systems.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Hosted Checkout | The quickest way to integrate. You create an order server-side and redirect the shopper to a SynraPay-hosted payment page that handles card entry, 3-D Secure and the result screen. |
API solutions
| Integration mode | Description |
|---|---|
| SynraPay HPP Checkout | Server-to-server integration against our signed REST endpoints. Create orders, redirect to checkout and reconcile status from your own backend, with full control over the order lifecycle on your side. |
| Webhooks | Signed server-to-server notifications carrying the final result of every payment, so your systems stay in sync even if the shopper closes the browser. |
Features
Check out the SynraPay payment gateway and the suite of features behind it.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Hosted Checkout | A SynraPay-hosted payment page. You never touch raw card data, which keeps your PCI scope to the minimum (SAQ A in most cases). |
| 3-D Secure (3DS) | An additional layer of authentication performed by the card issuer during an online transaction. It protects the shopper against fraudulent card usage and the merchant against undue chargebacks. |
| Smart routing | Every order is routed to an acquirer by the routing engine before it is created, using the active routing rules for your account. The chosen processor is recorded on the order and returned to you. |
| Risk screening | A pre-authorisation screen over amount, country, email and your block & trust
lists. A BLOCK decision rejects the order before it is created; the score and
triggered rules are stored against the order for review. |
| Idempotent orders | Re-sending the same orderId returns the original order and checkout URL
rather than charging twice â so a network retry is always safe. |
| Order query | Retrieve the current state of any order â status, amount, currency, gateway reference and paid-at timestamp â with the Get Status API. |
| Callbacks | Signed server-to-server notification of the order's final status (success, failed, cancelled or expired). Particularly useful when the shopper's browser postback fails due to a disconnection or a closed tab. |
| Merchant dashboard | Transactions, settlements, refunds, reporting and API key management, in real time. |
Supported payment brands
Credit and debit cards from the major schemes are supported on the hosted checkout: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Mada. Availability of specific brands depends on your acquiring setup â check with your SynraPay point of contact.
