Odoo payment gateways in Bahrain
Every payment method and gateway that matters in Bahrain, with what each one takes to reach Odoo: shipped with the product, a community module, a paid connector, or a build.
Every payment rail we check for a rollout in Bahrain
20 entries, grouped by what each one costs you to reach from Odoo. The badge is the whole commercial question: shipped with the product, a community module, a paid connector, or a build.
In Odoo
3 of 20Ships with Odoo. Configuration, not development.
BENEFIT runs Bahrain's national ATM and POS switch and, since 2006, the national payments gateway that lets banks and their merchants take online transactions on locally issued debit cards. A Bahraini checkout that skips Benefit debit cards misses the cards most residents carry.
Amazon Payment Services operates in Bahrain and lists Benefit as a supported local method, so it reaches Bahraini debit cards. Odoo 19 ships the connector, so no module purchase is needed.
Bahrain's licensed courier list includes local last mile firms that collect on delivery, and COD remains a normal option for first time buyers. In Odoo it means confirming the order unpaid and reconciling against the courier's remittance.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
Community module
1 of 20A community module exists. Install, test, and budget for keeping it current across upgrades.
MyFatoorah lists Bahrain among the eight markets it operates in, and it is common with smaller Bahraini sellers who invoice by payment link. A free Odoo 19 connector exists alongside paid ones.
Paid connector
6 of 20A paid connector covers this. Licence cost sits outside our fee and is quoted separately.
BenefitPay is the BENEFIT Company mobile app used for QR payments, person to person transfers and online shopping, connected to accounts at all the major Bahraini banks. Merchants reach it through a licensed gateway rather than integrating with BENEFIT directly.
Tap has a Bahrain operation, supports Benefit directly and processes payouts to Bahraini businesses. Bahraini e-commerce guides name it as the usual developer route to BenefitPay.
PayTabs covers Bahrain as one of its Middle East markets and is a normal pick for merchants selling into several Gulf states on one account. Multiple Odoo 19 connectors are on the apps store.
HyperPay names Bahrain in its MENA coverage and states it settles in local currency through local acquirers there. Comes up when the buyer's main market is Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is the second.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
Tamara lists Bahrain in its own country switcher and signed EazyPay as its Bahrain acquirer in July 2025, so split payments are available to Bahraini shoppers. Confirm live status with Tamara before promising it at checkout.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
Apple Pay launched in Bahrain with NBB, BBK and ila, and Apple's own participating bank list for Bahrain now runs to most local issuers. It is enabled through whichever gateway you pick rather than integrated on its own.
Custom build
10 of 20No connector we would put in production. This is scoped, priced and built.
Fawri+ moves money between Bahraini bank accounts in seconds, 24 hours a day, and the Central Bank of Bahrain raised the daily limit to BD 3,000 with effect from 21 July 2025. B2B buyers use it to settle invoices the same day.
Fawateer is Bahrain's electronic bill presentment and payment service, run on the BENEFIT EFTS rails, and is how recurring bills get paid from one dashboard. It matters for subscription and utility style billing in Odoo.
CrediMax has been Bahrain's card issuer and acquirer since 1991 and sells a payment gateway to online merchants who hold a valid CR and domain. Businesses banking with BBK are usually routed here.
MaxWallet is the CrediMax digital wallet, storing cards for in store QR and online payment plus cross border remittance. It shows up wherever CrediMax is the acquirer.
Eazy Financial Services is licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain as a POS and online payment gateway acquirer, and it is the acquirer Tamara signed for Bahrain in 2025. A common choice for Bahraini retail.
AFS is a Bahrain headquartered processor licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain as an ancillary service provider, and it sells a merchant payment gateway alongside its BPay consumer product. Often the incumbent behind a Bahraini bank's card programme.
SADAD has run payment services in Bahrain since 2010 across self service kiosks, POS and online, and is a familiar brand for bill style collections. Worth checking if the buyer already collects through SADAD kiosks.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
PIE is a Bahraini payment provider covering acquiring, mPOS, kiosks, bill collection and customs payments, and it carries MaxWallet QR on its terminals. Relevant where the buyer needs POS and web on one provider.

Beyon Money is the Batelco fintech wallet with a Visa debit card and open banking links to Bahraini bank accounts, backed by a Central Bank of Bahrain open banking licence. Its business wallet now pays directly to EazyPay POS terminals.
stc pay runs a Bahrain wallet with a prepaid Mastercard for online and in store payment, and in 2026 wired its onboarding to the national eKey 2.0 digital identity. Relevant for the telco customer base rather than the banked card holder.
Checked Localization notes on this page checked on 22 August 2026.
Rates, formats, thresholds and submission windows change. We configure against the rules in force at build time and confirm every figure with your accountant or tax advisor before sign-off. If a rule moves after go-live, it is a support ticket, not a rebuild. Read more on our Odoo localization service.
How we build payments for Bahrain
The delivery method behind the list above. The same four steps on a 10-user rollout and on a multi-company programme, with the depth scaled to the scope.
- 1 Start from what buyers already carry. We pick the smallest set of providers that covers the methods your customers use, because every extra gateway is another reconciliation and another support surface.
- 2 Shipped providers first. Anything Odoo already carries is configured before anyone buys a connector. Paid connectors and custom work are priced up front, not discovered mid-project.
- 3 Four tests per provider. Authorization, capture, refund and a deliberate failure, run in sandbox, then repeated once in production with a small live amount.
- 4 Settlement is mapped to the ledger. Payouts, fees and chargebacks post to accounts your accountant agreed, so the bank reconciliation clears instead of leaving a suspense balance.
What we need from you to quote it
Bring these to the first call and you get a scoped, priced payments plan for Bahrain instead of a range.
- โ Your current gateway contracts and the fee schedule on each.
- โ A month of settlement reports, so the ledger mapping can be tested against real payouts.
- โ The currencies you collect in, and the entity that receives each payout.
