Merchant decision question
An Iraq merchant is comparing a ZainCash wallet payment gateway route with a FIB account or app payment route for web or app checkout.
When ZainCash may fit
Prioritize when the merchant's first requirement is wallet acceptance through ZainCash, with payment gateway credentials, webhook handling, reversals, and dashboard access to verify.
When First Iraqi Bank (FIB) may fit
Prioritize when the merchant needs FIB account/app payment flows, sandbox testing, QR or dynamic links, callback behavior, and FIB business onboarding to verify.
What to verify before integration
- Which customer flow is required: ZainCash wallet redirect, FIB account/app payment, QR code, dynamic link, or another Iraq-local method?
- Can the merchant receive production credentials with its entity, bank account, ownership, industry, and transaction model?
- Which currencies, limits, refunds, reversals, callbacks, webhooks, sandbox functions, and dashboard reports are available?
- What fees, settlement timing, payout account, reconciliation data, dispute process, and support SLA will be documented in writing?
- What happens when the customer abandons, payment stays pending, duplicate payment occurs, or callback delivery fails?

Review notes
- Wallet and bank-account payment flows can have different customer authentication, reversal, and reconciliation behavior.
- Developer documentation does not guarantee production approval for every merchant or product category.
