Use when

You are selling online in Egypt and need local payment methods alongside cards.

Skip when

Your customers are outside the Middle East and Africa, where a global processor gives you broader coverage.

Built around how Egyptians actually pay rather than cards alone, which matters in a market where card penetration is low: wallets and instalments are first-class, not add-ons. The partner set is domestic, with Banque Misr and CIB among the names on its own site. Confirm settlement currency and payout timing for your entity before you integrate, because that is the detail that differs by merchant rather than by product.
