bKash Payment Gateway: How to Add bKash Payments to Your Website

Most online buyers in Bangladesh prefer to pay with mobile banking. Adding a bKash payment gateway to your website lets customers pay instantly from their phone, so you get paid faster and spend less time confirming manual transfers. This guide explains your options for adding a bKash payment gateway, what you need before you start, and the common mistakes to avoid.

Why add a bKash payment gateway to your website?

• More sales: customers can pay the moment they decide to buy, instead of sending money and a screenshot later.
• Less manual work: payments are matched to orders automatically, with no need to check transaction IDs by hand.
• More trust: a proper checkout looks professional and reduces fake or cancelled orders.

Option 1: Direct bKash payment gateway integration

bKash offers a payment gateway for registered merchants. After your merchant account is approved, your developer connects your website to bKash using the credentials bKash provides. The customer is sent to a secure bKash page, enters their number, OTP and PIN, and returns to your website with the payment confirmed.

This is a good choice if bKash is the main way your customers pay and you want the payments to arrive directly in your bKash merchant account.

Option 2: Use a payment aggregator

Payment aggregators such as SSLCommerz, aamarPay and shurjoPay let you accept bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Visa/Mastercard through a single integration. You apply once, and your customers choose their preferred method at checkout.

An aggregator is usually the easiest option for an online shop that wants to accept many payment methods. Compare their fees, settlement time and documentation requirements before you apply.

What you need before applying

Requirements are set by bKash and the aggregators and can change, so always check the latest list with them. Typically you will be asked for:

• A trade license and other business documents
• National ID of the business owner
• A bank account in the business name
• A live website with clear product or service pages, prices, contact details, and terms, privacy and refund policies

The last point is important: many applications are delayed because the website is incomplete. A professional website design with all the required pages makes approval much smoother.

How the bKash payment gateway works on your website

1. The customer adds products to the cart and chooses bKash at checkout.
2. Your website creates a payment request and sends the customer to the secure bKash page.
3. The customer confirms the payment with their bKash number, OTP and PIN.
4. bKash tells your website whether the payment succeeded, and the order is marked as paid.
5. You receive an order notification and deliver the product.

WordPress, WooCommerce or a custom website?

If your shop runs on WordPress and WooCommerce, plugins from bKash or your aggregator can handle most of the work. For custom websites and applications — for example a Laravel-based system — your developer integrates the bKash payment gateway API directly. Our web development team builds both.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Testing only with real money instead of the sandbox (test) environment first.
• Marking orders as paid before the gateway confirms the payment.
• Missing refund and privacy pages, which can delay merchant approval.
• Running checkout on a website without SSL (HTTPS). Every payment page must be secure — our web hosting includes free SSL.
