The Opportunity

Problem

Algerian ecommerce entrepreneurs lack access to international payment processors like PayPal and Stripe, forcing reliance on cash-on-delivery that spikes operational costs and fraud risks.

Solution

DzPayHub aggregates local Algerian gateways like CIB, SATIM, and Edahabia into a single API, enabling seamless online payments for ecommerce stores. It handles failover, retries, and unified webhooks to cut integration time from weeks to hours. Ecommerce owners get paid faster with lower fraud via automated confirmations.
