Paytabs provides you with a collection of API endpoints which used to process all payments, regardless of if they are through either your own payment pages, the managed payment pages, or if you are using the hosted payment pages. 




This article is dedicated to walking you through how to handle the direct payment response sent from PayTabs after the payment. Handling the response right will empower you to make sure to handle the user experience according to the payment status as well as and updating the order status in your database. It is worth mentioning that after payment, there are three types of responses you can expect:
