Payment integration
PayPal Payment Integration
Offer PayPal for international and diaspora buyers — alongside Iraqi IQD gateways so domestic checkout stays local and fast.
PayPal remains a trust mark for shoppers outside Iraq and for diaspora purchasing from home brands. Mesopo adds PayPal Buttons or standard checkout next to FIB, FastPay, Zain Cash, and Qi — never as the only rail for a pure domestic Iraqi store.

Platforms we support
Compatible with custom Next.js/Laravel stores, WooCommerce, and many Shopify setups. For Iraq HQ brands, we document which buyer segments should see PayPal versus local wallets.
Settlement & payouts
PayPal settles per your PayPal account country and currency. Local IQD volume should still clear on Iraqi gateways. Finance receives separate exports for each rail.
Common questions
Should an Erbil store use only PayPal?
Usually no. Local buyers convert better on FIB/FastPay/Qi. PayPal helps diaspora and international cards/wallets.
Can PayPal and FIB share one cart?
Yes. Mesopo builds method pickers that route each rail correctly.
What about fees?
PayPal fees differ from Iraqi gateway MDR. We review fee impact during discovery so pricing stays healthy.
