This page covers how customers pay you on your storefront. The default in Algeria is Cash on Delivery (COD): the customer pays cash when the courier delivers. Digital stores can also accept manual-receipt payments (CCP, BaridiMob, RedotPay, custom methods) where the customer uploads a transfer screenshot you verify, and CIB / Edahabia card payments that land in your own SlickPay account.

DZBuild takes no commission on your sales. You pay for your plan and nothing else; whatever the courier or your bank charges is between you and them.

ℹ️ Info — Card rails are for merchants paying DZBuild, not for customer checkouts

Merchant payments to DZBuild run on two card rails: SlickPay (CIB / Edahabia) and global cards (Visa / Mastercard / PayPal / Apple Pay, billed in USD). SlickPay covers plan subscriptions, AI credits, paid addons, domain purchases and WhatsApp Sender message top-ups; the global-card rail covers the same purchases except AI-credit packs, which are bought on the local rail only. Neither is wired into your storefront checkout. The supported customer methods are COD, manual-receipt, free_digital, and on Digital-theme stores a CIB / Edahabia card method paid into your own SlickPay account.

Whatever the storefront sends, the server stores one of exactly three values on the order:

The storefront never offers a fourth option, and if some other value reaches the server from a storefront order it is stored as cod (or as free_digital when the delivery is digital). Orders created through the public API are stricter: an unrecognised payment_method is rejected with an error rather than quietly corrected, so send one of the three values exactly.

Your customers cannot pay you by global card on any theme. CIB and Edahabia cards work only on a Digital-theme store, through your own SlickPay account.

DZBuild's own two card rails live on your dashboard and sell DZBuild products: plans, AI credits, paid addons, domains and WhatsApp Sender top-ups. Neither can be pointed at your checkout. On a Digital-theme store with the Payment Gateway addon active, you can add the CIB / EDAHABIA card method with the public key of your own SlickPay account: the buyer pays by card, the money goes to your SlickPay account, and the order is confirmed and marked paid automatically.

On the other themes, card checkout for buyers is planned. No date has been announced, so build those stores around COD for now.

Default and most-used payment method in Algeria. No payment provider is involved at checkout — the customer enters their phone, address and wilaya, and pays cash to the courier on delivery.

This is the path most Algerian merchants live on, and on every theme except digital, COD is the only built-in customer payment method.

Manual-receipt checkout is a paid addon — Payment Gateway, 500 DZD/month — configured at /dashboard/digital/payment. It is mostly used for non-physical products (courses, e-books, digital downloads) where COD doesn't make sense.

Built-in methods include the CIB / EDAHABIA card, paid into your own SlickPay account with no receipt and confirmed automatically once the payment goes through, and these receipt-based ones:

Nobody checks that transfer for you. The money moves outside DZBuild, the screenshot is only proof, and the order sits at pending until you open it and mark it paid. Make reviewing that queue a daily habit: a customer who has paid and is waiting for a download will chase you, and DZBuild support cannot see or approve a receipt that was uploaded to your store.

Digital orders do appear in your normal Orders list, but the receipt image is not rendered there. Open Dashboard → Digital → Orders (/dashboard/digital/orders) and click the order to see it.

Verification is a separate field from the order status: you flip payment_status from the digital order's detail page, and confirming the order marks it paid automatically.

Receipt images are private: the dashboard shows them through a temporary link that expires after an hour, so the image URL can't be shared, bookmarked or hotlinked.

Go to Dashboard → Digital → Payment (/dashboard/digital/payment). You can configure up to 10 methods per store, each with:

The extra fee is calculated server-side as that percentage of the subtotal after discount, added to the order total, and stored on the order as payment_fee.

The customer sees the enabled methods on the digital-theme checkout page.

Because there is no delivery, the digital checkout asks for contact channels instead of a postal address: Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, plus up to three custom fields. Configure them — and mark which are required — at Dashboard → Digital → Checkout fields (/dashboard/digital/checkout-fields).

DZBuild does not automate refunds. Handle them per-method:

Stock consequence: moving an order to cancelled or returned yourself returns its items to stock whenever they had been deducted. A return reported by the courier puts the items back only once the parcel is back with you: when the courier confirms it, when you press Return received on the order, or 15 days after the return started. By default stock is deducted at confirmation, not at order placement, so cancelling an order that is still pending changes nothing, because nothing was reserved. A store set to deduct on receipt (Orders page, display settings gear, Stock deduction) gets the items back on cancellation even from pending.

Q: I want to filter out fake orders by requiring prepayment. A: For physical-product stores there is no prepayment option today — most merchants combat fake orders with the Captcha Protection and Limit Orders Per IP addons, plus phone-confirmation in Advanced Orders.

Q: Can I accept BaridiMob / CCP transfers? A: Yes, but only on Digital Theme stores via the manual-receipt flow described above. On other themes there is no receipt upload and no paid flag on the order: if a customer transfers money to you outside DZBuild, record it yourself, for example in the order's Seller notes.

Q: When are SlickPay and the global-card rail involved? A: Only when you (the merchant) pay DZBuild: to subscribe to a plan, top up AI credits, activate a paid addon, buy a domain or top up WhatsApp Sender messages. SlickPay handles CIB / Edahabia, and the global-card rail handles Visa / Mastercard / PayPal / Apple Pay in USD. Both checkouts are created on your dashboard, never on your storefront. Separately, a Digital-theme store can take CIB / Edahabia cards from its buyers through your own SlickPay account, added as a payment method under Dashboard → Digital → Payment.

Q: A customer paid via BaridiMob but my dashboard order is still pending. A: That's expected. Manual-receipt orders start with order status pending and payment_status pending, and stay that way until you open the order under Dashboard → Digital → Orders, check the screenshot, and mark it paid. There is no auto-verification.
