Accept card payments in Syria

Syria remains largely a cash economy. Card use is limited, domestic cards are not connected to the international schemes, and much money moves through cash, bank transfers within the country and informal hawala networks. Online, buyers inside the country have few ways to pay a foreign merchant by card.

A large diaspora in Europe, the Gulf and beyond pays for goods and services on behalf of family at home, usually with cards and wallets issued abroad. For a merchant, that is where Orchestrapay fits: international cards and express wallets behind one integration, 3DS on card-not-present payments, and sanctions screening and compliance checks before any onboarding. We do not process domestic Syrian cards.
