Payment gateway in Syria for online and in-store payments
ecash connects Syrian merchants to licensed local banks through one integration: hosted checkout, cards, QR payments, payment links, webhooks and settlement reporting in Syrian pounds.
ecash is an electronic payment gateway operating in Syria under a licence from the Central Bank of Syria (Resolution No. 844/L.I, 09 August 2022).
