KNET Payment Workflow

• The payment process is hosted by the KNET Payment, which means that the payment will be managed and processed on KNET side.
  
  
• When customers proceed to check out, they get redirected to the KNET payment page to enter card details and complete the payment.

• Card details are not entered or stored on PayTabs servers.
  
• Transactions done through KNET, will show in the payment method in the transaction detail window

What are the payment features that KNET supports?

• Through KNET cards, you can easily perform "Sale" and "Refund" transactions, but NO Auth/Cap or Recurring transactions are allowed using Kent.

The settlement Flow

• All Kuwait-based accounts operate as PSP (direct with the bank). This means that transactions processed through KNET will be settled directly with your bank account.

The Refund Process

• KNET transactions can be refunded directly from PayTabs dashboard by clicking on the transaction ID, and then click on the refund button as shown below.
