Pick a gateway that serves Bahrain
Gateways such as Credimax, Tap and MyFatoorah connect several methods behind one integration. Compare settlement time, fees, refund handling and how quickly your merchant account is approved.
Show VAT and totals clearly
Display prices in BHD with three decimals and show the 10% VAT line before the pay button. A total that changes on the last screen is a leading reason carts are abandoned.
Test the failure paths
Try a declined card, an abandoned payment and a double click. Confirm the order status is right in each case and that the customer sees a clear message and a way to retry.
