Paymob for WooCommerce

68 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

With 6,000 active installs, the plugin has a modest regional user base that reflects Paymob's geographic focus rather than mainstream adoption.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated in July 2026 and tested against WordPress 6.9.4, the plugin shows very strong and current maintenance practices.

User Rating

4/15

A score of 46 out of 100 from only 3 ratings is a very weak signal: the sample size is too small to draw confident conclusions about user satisfaction.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolutions is a notable red flag, as there is no public evidence the developer actively responds to user issues.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested with WordPress 6.9.4 and requiring only PHP 7.0 plus WordPress 5.0, the plugin has excellent backward and forward compatibility.

What It Does

Paymob for WooCommerce adds the Paymob payment gateway to WooCommerce stores, letting merchants accept payments through Paymob's processing service directly at checkout. It integrates as a standard WooCommerce payment gateway and routes transactions to Paymob for settlement. The plugin is purpose-built for merchants operating in regions where Paymob is the primary payment processor.

Who It's For

This plugin is best suited for WooCommerce store owners who specifically need to accept payments via Paymob, which is most commonly used in Egypt, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. It fits small to mid-sized businesses that have an existing Paymob merchant account and want a straightforward gateway connection without building a custom integration.

Who Should Skip It

Stores that operate outside Paymob's supported geographies or that already use a globally recognized gateway like Stripe or Mercado Pago should skip this plugin entirely. WooCommerce merchants who do not have a Paymob merchant account will gain nothing from installing it.

The Bottom Line

Paymob for WooCommerce scores 68.56 out of 100 and is a niche gateway that does exactly one job: connecting WooCommerce to Paymob. Maintenance and compatibility are excellent, but the near-absence of user ratings and public support activity makes it hard to recommend with full confidence outside its target region. If you have a Paymob merchant account and operate in a supported market, it is a reasonable choice; otherwise, Stripe or Mercado Pago will serve you better.
