Paymob is a powerful payment gateway that enables merchants to accept a wide range of payment methods through a unified and secure infrastructure. It supports cards, wallets, and alternative payment methods, making it suitable for scalable digital businesses.

Paymob integration relies on multiple keys and identifiers. Each key plays a specific role within the payment lifecycle, from creating payment intentions to verifying callbacks and notifications.

• Buy Now Pay Later (Tabby, Tamara)

Link with Paymob

To integrate Paymob with Fatora, you must provide the following credentials from your Paymob account:

• Secret Key
• Public Key
• API Key
• HMAC Secret
• Payment Integration ID

Required Keys & Their Purpose

Secret Key

Used during the first step to create a Payment Intention. This key authenticates the merchant and ensures that the payment request is legitimate. It must be used in all core payment creation requests.

Public Key

Used when redirecting the customer to the checkout page. It is passed as a parameter along with the client_secret generated after creating the Payment Intention.

API Key

Used when querying the status of a transaction or an order. To perform these requests, an auth_token must first be generated by calling the Auth API and passing the API Key in the request body.

HMAC Secret

Used to validate incoming payment notifications and Return URL callbacks. HMAC verification ensures that the received data is authentic and has not been tampered with.

Payment Integration ID

Each payment method in Paymob has a unique Integration ID linked to your Accept account.

• Cards (Integration ID: 12)
• Tabby
• Tamara
• Mobile Wallets
• Other methods

Each Integration ID has two modes:

• Test: Used for sandbox transactions
• Live: Used for real payments

By default, newly created integrations are set to Test mode. When a new Accept account is created, a test integration for cards is automatically generated. Additional integrations can be added as needed.
