Payment gateways

Accept online payments in your Inboxi Store with INPAY, Paymob, Stripe, or cash on delivery.

Payment gateways decide how customers pay at checkout in your Inboxi Store. Manage them in Settings › Payment Gateways (also under Store Settings › Payments). You can enable several gateways at once and set their order.

INPAY

INPAY collects payments for you, so you can sell online without opening a merchant account. Turn on Local Payments (cards and wallets in Egypt, through Paymob) and/or International Payments (Visa and Mastercard worldwide, through Stripe). Your balance, transactions, commissions and payouts (bank transfer, Vodafone Cash or InstaPay) are in Store › Finances.

Keep secret keys private. Paste them only into the gateway dialog in Inboxi, never into chats or public pages.

Not the same as WhatsApp billing

Payment gateways are for your customers paying you. Meta's charges for WhatsApp template messages are paid separately, with a card you add in Meta billing. In the WhatsApp number settings, the Connect a Payment Method on Meta guide walks you through it:

  1. 1
    Open Meta Billing
    Click Open Meta Billing (opens business.facebook.com in a new tab).
  2. 2
    Sign in
    Use the Facebook account that owns the WhatsApp Business Account.
  3. 3
    Pick your WhatsApp Business Account
    Select the account connected to Inboxi.
  4. 4
    Add a payment method
    Click Add Payment Method and enter a Visa or Mastercard.
  5. 5
    Set it as primary
    Make the card the Primary Funding Source.
