As a result of this collaboration, Paymob’s checkout experience is now embedded into the WooCommerce Marketplace, providing merchants with streamlined access to its comprehensive suite of digital payment solutions.

Through Paymob Checkout, merchants can now integrate over 50 global and local payment methods into their WooCommerce stores, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and regional alternatives. The solution is fully optimised for mobile, delivering a secure and seamless checkout experience with embedded 3D Secure and PCI compliance.
