CIB / EDAHABIA via SlickPay

Accept online card payments via SlickPay, the most-used payment gateway in Algeria for CIB + EDAHABIA cards.

Why offer online payment​

  • Filters out fake/spam orders (paid orders are real).
  • Gets you paid before shipping → no "customer refused" risk.
  • Reduces returns dramatically.
  • Trade-off: ~30–50% lower conversion vs COD-only on cold traffic.

Most Algerian merchants offer both COD and SlickPay so customers self-select.

Setup​

1. Get a SlickPay merchant account​

Sign up at slick-pay.com. They'll verify your business documents (1–3 business days).

2. Get your API credentials​

SlickPay dashboard → API → copy your Public Key and Secret Key.

3. Connect in DZBuild​

Dashboard → Settings → Payments → SlickPay:

  • Paste keys
  • Pick environment (sandbox first, then production)
  • Click Test connection

4. Test the flow​

Place a test order with the SlickPay sandbox card. Verify:

  • Customer is redirected to SlickPay
  • Payment succeeds
  • Order in DZBuild moves to paid
  • Webhook arrives at your endpoint (if you have one)

What customers see​

  1. At checkout, "Online payment (CIB / EDAHABIA)" option.
  2. Customer is redirected to SlickPay's hosted page.
  3. Enters card details + 3D Secure code.
  4. Returns to your store with success/failure.

Fees​

SlickPay charges a fee per transaction (typically 1–2% — check your contract). DZBuild adds no fee on top.

Reconciliation​

Every successful payment fires:

  • The payment.received webhook (if subscribed) — see Webhooks.
  • A row in Dashboard → Reports → Payments.

You can match these against SlickPay's payout reports for accounting.

Frequently asked​

Q: My customer paid but the order is still pending. A: Payment received and order confirmation are independent. You still call to confirm before shipping. The customer has paid; you can't refund automatically — ship the order or refund manually via SlickPay.

Q: Can I require online payment only (no COD)? A: Yes — disable COD. Expect 30–50% lower conversion on cold traffic but much higher quality orders.

Q: Does SlickPay support recurring payments? A: Not via DZBuild's integration. Single charges only.
