How to accept Tabby and Tamara at checkout

To accept regional MENA BNPL providers at checkout, enable them per eligible country, localize language and currency, and surface installment amounts early across product, cart, and payment steps. Configure risk and routing to prefer familiar local rails, meet regulatory and KYC requirements, and streamline redirects and return paths. Test authorization end to end on mobile. Monitor approval, conversion, and abandonment by country, iterating presentation and limits to maximize shopper trust and completed payments.

FAQ

### Do I need a local entity to offer MENA BNPL across borders?

Not always. Cross-border onboarding via local acquirers or aggregators is common. Confirm provider eligibility, settlement currency, KYC/AML obligations, and consumer disclosure rules for each country.

### Where should I display installments to improve checkout conversion?

Show total price and per‑installment amounts on product pages, cart, and payment selection. Keep labels consistent, use local currency, and avoid surprise fees during redirect or confirmation.

### How do I choose which countries get these BNPL methods?

Start with markets where shoppers prefer installment payments and card approvals are lower. Validate coverage maps, supported currencies, and dispute processes, then enable per market and measure uplift.

### Which metrics confirm payment familiarity is increasing completions?

Track authorization rate, overall checkout conversion, step‑by‑step drop‑off, redirect completion rate, mobile success, and support contacts. Compare cohorts before and after enablement by country and device.
