About Telr
Telr is a Dubai-based payment gateway that helps businesses accept online payments. It serves e-commerce stores, service providers and small and medium-sized businesses across the UAE and other markets in the region, with a focus on making online payment acceptance simple to set up.
A payment gateway is the technology that connects a merchant's website or app to the payment networks, securely processing card details and passing transactions to banks for approval. Without a gateway, an online business cannot take card payments. Telr provides this infrastructure along with tools that make it easier to integrate payments into different platforms.
The company offers integrations with popular e-commerce platforms and shopping carts, as well as APIs for businesses building custom websites and apps. For merchants without a website, Telr provides payment links and invoicing tools that let them request payments through email, messaging apps or social media.
Telr supports multiple payment methods and currencies, which is important for businesses selling to customers across the Gulf and internationally. Security features, such as fraud screening and compliance with card industry security standards, help protect merchants and customers.
Its merchant dashboard allows businesses to track transactions, manage refunds and view settlement reports. Clear reporting helps small businesses reconcile their payments and understand their revenue.
Telr has worked to simplify onboarding for merchants, which has traditionally been a slow process in the region. Faster approval allows new online businesses to start accepting payments quickly.
The growth of e-commerce in the UAE and the wider Gulf has driven strong demand for payment gateways. Small businesses, in particular, need affordable and easy-to-use solutions to sell online. The UAE's push toward cashless payments has further increased the importance of digital payment acceptance.
The payment gateway market is competitive, with banks, global payment companies and regional fintechs all serving online merchants.
Telr is one of the regional payment gateways built specifically for Gulf merchants, and it is profiled on Startups UAE among Dubai's payments companies.
