How to accept FIB payments in Iraq
Mesopo wires FIB for Iraqi ecommerce — how to accept with RTL checkout and local support.
Accepting FIB online in Iraq means merchant KYC, sandbox rehearsal, and customer-facing Arabic checkout — whether you sell on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom app Mesopo builds.
Integration steps
Apply for a FIB merchant account through your bank relationship; Mesopo prepares the technical questionnaire with your domain, callback URLs, and expected monthly volume — qualitative ranges only, no fabricated national statistics.
Iraq storefront specifics
Configure sandbox first: test success, failure, and timeout paths. Train cashiers and finance on settlement timing and chargeback contacts before advertising {gw} logos on Instagram or your RTL storefront.
Go-live and operations
Production cutover uses a Mesopo checklist — disable test keys, enable live keys, verify webhooks from Baghdad and Erbil office IPs, and run one real low-value transaction per payment method.

Common questions
Can customers pay FIB in store and online?
Many merchants use {gw} online first; in-store POS terminals depend on separate bank devices — Mesopo scopes online acceptance unless POS is in discovery.
Do you sell Checkout.com?
No — Mesopo integrates fib, fastpay, qi, visa, mastercard, stripe and existing local gateways in catalog.
Who supports us after launch?
Mesopo — webhook monitoring, reconciliation help, and certificate rotation from Erbil and Baghdad.
