Payment methods PayTabs brings to checkout
With PayTabs your buyers can pay with Visa and Mastercard, the local mada network, American Express and Apple Pay. The available methods appear on the tickets page automatically.
One gateway across the Gulf and MENA
PayTabs onboards merchants across MENA — the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, as well as Oman, Jordan and Kuwait. You pick your region when you connect, and buyers pay in the local currency, with mada available for Saudi cardholders.
Pricing and payouts
You connect your own PayTabs account, so card and wallet payments settle directly to you in your local currency. PayTabs sets its processing fees by your agreement, and Evenda adds no platform fee of its own on ticket sales.

Technical notes
PayTabs uses a hosted payment page: Evenda creates the payment request with your Server Key and redirects the buyer to the PayTabs page for your region. The result arrives as an IPN callback whose signature Evenda verifies with HMAC-SHA256 before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.
Connect PayTabs to Evenda to sell tickets across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and settle to your own account.
