Step 1 — Decide which payment methods you need
If your customers are mostly in Pakistan, you must support: cards (Visa/Mastercard), mobile wallets (JazzCash, easypaisa), Raast, and bank transfer. Skipping any of these costs you sales — Pakistani shoppers abandon checkouts that don't show their preferred method.
Step 2 — Choose a payment gateway
Pick a Pakistani gateway that supports every method above through one integration. Look for transparent MDR, T+1 settlement, and plug-and-play integrations for your stack.
Step 3 — Sign up and complete onboarding
You will need basic business info, your Pakistani bank account details, and KYC documents (CNIC for sole proprietors, NTN/incorporation for companies). With Rapid Gateway, the entire onboarding is online.
Step 4 — Integrate with your store or website
- For WooCommerce: install the plugin, paste your API keys, save.
- For Shopify: add the Rapid Gateway app from the Shopify App Store and authenticate.
- For custom websites: drop the JS snippet on your checkout page or call the REST API.
- For freelancers/services: skip the website — use Rapid Gateway invoicing to send payment links over WhatsApp.
Step 5 — Test, then go live
- Make test payments using sandbox credentials.
- Switch to live API keys.
- Make one real low-value payment to verify settlement to your bank.
- Set up webhooks for your accounting / order management.
- Start sharing the checkout — and watch the money roll in.
