Use when

A meaningful share of your Egyptian customers pay cash and you want to capture those orders online.

Skip when

You are selling to card-paying or international customers only, where a straight gateway is simpler.

Include this for a reason most gateways cannot cover: a large share of Egyptian customers still pay in cash, and Fawry's agent network is how they do it. A customer checks out online, gets a reference, and pays at a FawryPlus outlet. That turns cash buyers into online orders. It is a payment channel rather than a card gateway, so most Egyptian businesses run it alongside one rather than instead of one. Its own site leads with POS, bills and retail rather than a developer API, so scope the integration with them before assuming a hosted checkout exists for your use case.
