KNET is the most popular payment method in Kuwait. Using KNET, your customers can pay for orders with any debit card issued by the 11 member banks of Kuwait. Nearly 80% of all online transactions in Kuwait are made using a KNET card, making it a must-have for selling in Kuwait.
How It Works
Once you’ve connected KNET with Checkout.com, shoppers meeting the requirements will see it as an available payment option at checkout.
Upon proceeding with the order, the shopper will be redirected to the KNET payment page where they can select their issuing bank and enter their credit card details.
Orders placed with KNET will appear in your control panel as KNET (via Checkout.com) in the Payment Method field. KNET orders share the same fulfillment process as typical orders.
