Technical notes

Geidea uses a client-side JS SDK (geideacheckout.js): Evenda creates a payment session server-side (Basic public_key:api_password with a signature) and the SDK opens the payment window with startPayment(sessionId). The result arrives at the callback URL, and Evenda marks the order paid on responseCode 000 — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.

Connect Geidea to Evenda to sell tickets across Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, and settle to your own account.
