NAPS is Qatar's national payment network, standing for National Automated Payment System. It supports only debit card transactions and provides a secure payment method for customers in Qatar. Customers are redirected to the NAPS page to complete their payment before being returned to the merchant's confirmation page.

NAPS transactions are processed in Qatari Riyal (QAR) only and support direct capture payments exclusively.

Prerequisites​

Before integrating NAPS, ensure you have completed the following requirements:

  1. Active NAPS Service
    NAPS must be activated on your Amazon Payment Services account. Contact your account manager if you need activation.

  2. Integration Method
    Choose your preferred integration approach - NAPS is available through Hosted Checkout and Payment Links.

  3. Currency Support
    NAPS transactions must be processed in Qatari Riyal (QAR) only.

Integration Methods​

Choose the integration method that best fits your business needs and technical requirements:

Through Hosted Checkout

Redirect customers to our secure payment page with NAPS support

Through Payment Links

Generate payment links with NAPS support for no-code solutions

Through Hosted Checkout​

Hosted Checkout provides a secure way to accept NAPS payments by redirecting customers to Amazon Payment Services' payment page.

How Hosted Checkout Works

The NAPS hosted checkout process follows these steps:

1

Payment Request

Create Payment Request

Send a POST request to the hosted checkout endpoint with the required parameters. The request must be sent from the frontend as an HTTPS POST form with payment_option set to NAPS.

Use the appropriate endpoint based on your environment:

https://sbcheckout.payfort.com/FortAPI/paymentPage

NAPS is supported with the multi-select feature. If you wish to display it on the hosted page, no additional technical efforts are required.

Sample Request​

<form method="post" action="https://sbcheckout.payfort.com/FortAPI/paymentPage" 
      id="paymentForm" name="paymentForm">
    <input type="hidden" name="command" value="PURCHASE">
    <input type="hidden" name="access_code" value="s4lwuuoY5upZlZY5D6dr">
    <input type="hidden" name="merchant_identifier" value="WeVJHPYm">
    <input type="hidden" name="merchant_reference" value="ORD-12345-2024">
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="2000">
    <input type="hidden" name="currency" value="QAR">
    <input type="hidden" name="language" value="en">
    <input type="hidden" name="payment_option" value="NAPS">
    <input type="hidden" name="customer_email" value="test@amazon.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="return_url" value="https://yoursite.com/payment-result">
    <input type="hidden" name="signature" value="calculated_signature_here">
    <input type="submit" value="Pay Now" class="pay-button">
</form>

Make sure merchant reference value is unique value per request.

Multiply your transaction amount by the currency decimal code per ISO code 3 before sending the amount parameter. For QAR (2 decimal places), multiply by 100. Example: For 20.00 QAR, send 2000 in your request.

Refer to our Signature Calculation Guide for detailed implementation instructions and code examples.

Payment Response

Handle Payment Response

After payment processing, customers are redirected back to your return_url with the transaction results.

Sample Response​

{
    "command": "PURCHASE",
    "access_code": "s4lwuuoY5upZlZY5D6dr",
    "merchant_identifier": "WeVJHPYm",
    "merchant_reference": "ORD-12345-2024",
    "amount": "2000",
    "currency": "QAR",

NAPS transactions only support direct capture (PURCHASE Command). Authorization is not supported.

NAPS payment links follow standard Payment Links integration, However, specific requirements must be met for NAPS to be available as a payment option:

  • NAPS service activation: NAPS must be active on your Amazon Payment Services merchant account
  • Currency requirement: Transaction currency must be set to QAR (Qatari Riyal) for NAPS to appear in the payment options

Check Transaction Status​

To check the transaction status, refer to the Check Transaction Status section.
