Tap Payments WhatsApp Integration

KNET, benefit, mada and cards, collected in the conversation.

Tap is built for the Gulf, and that shows in the payment methods customers actually reach for — local debit schemes as well as international cards. Connect your Tap account and the chatbot's payment block raises a Tap link for the amount the flow holds, waits for confirmation, and carries on down the branch that matches the outcome.

Local debit customers who cannot pay you

In much of the Gulf, a meaningful share of customers pay with a local debit scheme rather than an international card. If your checkout does not offer it, those customers do not convert — and in a chat sale they simply stop replying, which looks like disinterest rather than a payment problem.

What moves, and which way

Tap to WhatsApp

  • Confirmed payments

    Tap confirms the transaction and the flow continues, with no manual verification.

  • Failed or abandoned

    Unsuccessful attempts take their own branch so the customer can retry or choose another method.

  • Transaction reference

    Available to later steps for receipts, order records or a CRM write.

WhatsApp to Tap

  • Payment links

    Raised on your own Tap account for the amount and reference the flow supplies.

  • Cart and quote totals

    The amount comes from a connected store's total or a value agreed in the conversation.

  • Contact details

    The conversation's contact travels with the request.

Settlement is to your own Tap merchant account, under your existing terms.

What you get

Gulf payment methods

Offer the local schemes your customers use alongside international cards, from one link.

Automatic confirmation

The flow only proceeds when Tap says the payment cleared.

Separate paths per outcome

Paid, timed out and cancelled are distinct branches, so nothing is assumed.

Store checkout supported

WhatsApp store orders can settle through Tap with tax and delivery already applied.

What you can build with it

Chat checkout for a GCC store

The customer browses, orders and pays in one conversation using the method they normally would.

Prepayment for reservations

Confirm the reservation only once Tap verifies the payment.

Split follow-up by outcome

A cancelled payment triggers a different message than a timeout, so the retry is actually helpful.

In practice

A Kuwaiti restaurant group taking catering orders

Catering enquiries arrived on WhatsApp and were confirmed by bank transfer, which meant chasing receipts and manually matching them to orders. Customers who wanted to pay by local debit had no easy option.

The result

No more transfer receipts to match, and customers pay with the method they were always going to use.

  1. 1

    The chatbot collects the menu, headcount and date and calculates the total.

  2. 2

    The payment block raises a Tap link for the deposit, payable by local debit or card.

  3. 3

    Tap confirms and the order is locked in, with the kitchen notified automatically.

  4. 4

    The balance link goes out closer to the date from the same conversation.
