Thawani payment gateway integration lets your customers in Oman pay online, by a link or at checkout, and records each payment in the system that raised the bill. Gulf Infotech, the first and oldest Zoho partner in Oman, integrates Thawani with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, Zoho Commerce, Zoho Creator and company websites, as a project quoted per integration.
Thawani integration · Explained
What does a Thawani integration do?
Many Omani businesses come to us for Thawani because they want to take payments online: an online store, a booking that is only confirmed once it is paid, or a registration form with a fee. We add Thawani to the website or portal, and when the payment is confirmed, the order or booking moves on by itself. Where the business runs on Zoho, the same payment also reaches Zoho Books or Zoho CRM, so the accounts and the sales pipeline show it too.
The integration has two halves. The first sends the customer from your system to Thawani to pay: a payment link on an invoice, a "Pay now" button in a portal, or the checkout of your online store. The second brings the result back: once Thawani confirms the payment through its webhooks, the integration records it against the right invoice, order or deal, and your team sees it as paid. Your company opens its merchant account directly with Thawani; we connect it to your systems.

Thawani integration · Explained
Which websites and portals can take Thawani payments?
Websites built on Zoho Commerce, custom websites we build in Next.js, and customer, dealer or booking portals built on Zoho Creator. For a startup selling online, a typical setup is a Zoho Commerce store or a Next.js site with Thawani at checkout and Zoho Books behind it for invoices and VAT. For a service business, it is often a Zoho Creator portal where customers book, pay and receive a confirmation in one flow. We host and secure the websites we build; see website hosting and security.

test payments end to end in Thawani's sandbox with test API keys, including failed and cancelled payments and refunds, before anything goes live.

How much does a Thawani integration cost?
We quote each integration as a project, based on where customers pay and how many systems the payment must reach. Development and support are charged by the hour at OMR 25, excluding VAT, or under a Zoho support plan that covers small changes. Thawani's own transaction fees are agreed between your company and Thawani. Your Zoho licences are separate, at Zoho's list prices converted to OMR.
Thawani integration · FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can Thawani be integrated with Zoho?
Yes. Gulf Infotech integrates Thawani with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, Zoho Commerce and Zoho Creator, using the Zoho APIs and automations. The customer pays through Thawani, and the confirmation is recorded against the right invoice, deal or order in Zoho. We build and test each integration for your setup in Oman.
Can you add Thawani to our website?
Yes. We add Thawani to the checkout or payment pages of company websites, including websites built on Zoho Commerce and custom websites built in Next.js. The payment result comes back to the website, and, where you use Zoho, into Zoho Books or Zoho CRM as well, so orders and payments stay in step.
Who opens the Thawani merchant account?
Your company does. The merchant account is a direct agreement between your business and Thawani, including its fees and settlement to your bank. We tell you what the integration needs from the account and connect it to your Zoho apps or website once it is ready.
Can Thawani payments reach Zoho Books?
Yes, we connect it that way. When Thawani confirms a payment on your website or portal, the integration can create or update the matching invoice and payment in Zoho Books, so your accounts match your online sales. If you invoice first, we can also add a Thawani payment link to the invoices Zoho Books sends.
How long does a Thawani integration take?
A payment link on Zoho Books invoices is usually the quickest. A website checkout, a Zoho Creator portal or a link into several apps takes longer, because each payment point is built and tested on its own. We give you a dated plan after scoping; durations are indicative and depend on your requirements.
