Local payments

We design the local payment flow: provider choice, legal requirements, payment UX, API, statuses, receipts, refunds and financial reconciliation.

Overview

Payment setup: what the service covers

The payment button is only the visible part. Behind it are contracts, receipts, order statuses, errors, refunds, reconciliation and support. We connect these pieces so the team doesn't have to untangle stuck transactions by hand.

In plain words

What it is and why your company needs it

What it is
We design the whole payment flow in Kazakhstan: payment service choice, buyer journey, order statuses, receipts, refunds and reconciliation with accounting, so the team stops fixing failures by hand.
Who it is for
An IT company with a steady flow of orders or subscriptions where customers often abandon at payment, or which needs a local payment method, refunds and reconciliation.
What you get
A map of payment scenarios, a comparison of suitable providers, a payment status model, a technical integration plan, refund rules, monitoring and a team guide for handling errors.
Where to start
Tell us how you sell (one-off payments, invoices or subscriptions) and your rough order volume. Based on your answer, we'll tell you whether an invoice or payment link is enough or you need an integration.

Solution architecture

How we design payments with the 5D methodology

We choose the provider after mapping the commercial and operational scenario, not just by fees or brand recognition.

01

Discover

We break down the purchase

We define the payer, channel, legal structure, order, documents, cancellation and refund.

02

Design

We choose the payment setup

We compare payment methods, fees, settlement times, contract requirements and API capabilities.

03

Deploy

We build the UX and integration

We set up checkout, statuses, API, webhooks, secrets and the source of truth.

04

Drive

We test the edge cases

We test declines, retries, delays, webhooks, refunds, connection loss and financial reconciliation.

05

Dominate

We set up monitoring

We hand over alerts, support, an operational runbook and rules for evolving the payment setup.

Unit economics and ROI

How payments affect conversion

A local payment method only pays off when the user understands the amount and status and can safely retry, and the team can see errors and discrepancies.

In an early B2B pilot, invoice payment can be more practical than a full checkout. Integration is needed when it removes a conversion bottleneck or manual workload.

Comparing approaches

Invoice or built-in payment

Complexity should match the frequency and type of purchase.

Limitations and risks

When complex integration is not needed

The payment setup shouldn't get ahead of a validated commercial scenario.

Few deals so far

Invoice or link payment may be more practical than building a checkout.

Legal structure isn't ready

First we confirm contract and tax requirements with qualified specialists.

Order statuses aren't defined

Automation without a source of truth will create discrepancies and duplicates.

A good fit

When this service is a good fit

  • Payment is a visible drop-off point
  • There's a steady flow of orders
  • You need refunds, receipts and reconciliation
  • You need a local payment method

Not a fit

When to choose another approach

  • You're running a few B2B pilots
  • The legal model isn't defined yet
  • The order process keeps changing
  • A secure payment link is enough

Terms in plain words

Provider
the service that processes payments
Webhook
a system message about a status change
Source of truth
the system that holds the master order or payment status
Reconciliation
matching orders, payments and financial records
Runbook
team instructions for handling errors
Checkout
The page or step where the customer pays on a website or in an app. How clear it is determines whether the customer completes the purchase.
API
A way for two programs to exchange data directly. Through it, your website or app sends a payment to the provider and gets its status.
Payment link
A ready-made payment link sent to the customer, so you don't need to build your own payment page. Suits a quick start with a small order flow.

Frequently asked questions

Local payment integration: FAQ

Can we connect Kaspi?

The available option depends on the legal structure, the product and the current terms of the specific solution.

Do you advise on taxes and contracts?

We gather the requirements and coordinate the payment setup. Formal opinions come from qualified specialists.

What happens if the provider is unavailable?

The order is saved, the user sees a clear status, permitted operations are retried, and the person in charge gets notified.

Is integration with accounting included?

It can be, if the accounting system, required data and process owners are defined.

How do I accept SaaS subscription payments in Kazakhstan?

Subscriptions are one of the scenarios we design, alongside one-time payments and invoices. We choose the provider based on support for recurring charges, the company's legal structure, contractual requirements and API capabilities. We also design subscription statuses, failed charges, retries, user notifications and refunds.

How do I choose a payment provider in Kazakhstan?

We choose a provider once the commercial and operational scenario is described, not just by fees or brand recognition. We compare payment methods, fees, settlement times, contractual requirements and API capabilities. The result is a comparison of suitable options for the specific product and legal structure.

What should I start with: invoices, a payment link or an API integration?

For a few B2B pilot deals, invoicing is usually enough. A payment link suits a quick start with a small flow, while an API integration is justified for a regular high-volume flow that needs full control of the journey and automation. The complexity of the payment setup should match the frequency and type of purchases.

What does a local payment integration include?

A map of payment scenarios, a comparison of suitable providers, a list of legal requirements, and the payment UX and status model. It also includes a technical integration diagram, refund and support rules, monitoring with an operational runbook, and a testing and launch checklist.

How is a payment integration tested before launch?

Besides successful payment we test the exceptions: declines, retries, delayed responses, duplicate or lost webhooks, refunds and connection loss. We also reconcile orders, payments and accounting data to make sure they match. Before launch we go through a checklist and hand the team a runbook for handling errors.
