Websites for Bahrain, ready for BenefitPay. Website development company for Bahrain businesses

What a Bahrain business website has to handle.

• BenefitPay and Benefit debit charge at once

  In Tap's developer docs, BenefitPay accepts dinars only and supports neither authorise-only payments nor saved cards. Benefit debit is dinars only too, supports no authorisation transactions, and sends the shopper to Benefit's page to confirm with a PIN. So the checkout captures payment the moment the order is placed, and a business that needs deposits on hold or repeat billing keeps a card option beside them. We build and test the return pages so an order is never lost after the PIN screen.

• Your gateway, opened on your CR

  To open a CrediMax online gateway, a business supplies signed gateway agreements, a valid website domain, a valid CR copy, CPR copies (with passport and residence permit copies for expatriates), its Articles of Association and a board resolution. So the gateway account is opened under your own Commercial Registration, and the domain has to exist before you apply. We integrate and test the gateway you open, as CrediMax's hosted checkout or a form embedded in your page, and never handle the money.

• Apple Pay for an iPhone-heavy market

  Apple lists 18 Bahrain banks and card issuers for Apple Pay, among them National Bank of Bahrain, Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, Credimax, Bahrain Islamic Bank and ILA Bank. With iOS on about 53% of Bahrain's mobiles in September 2026 (StatCounter), Apple Pay through your gateway is often the shortest way to pay. We switch it on where your gateway supports it and test the whole checkout in Safari on iPhones.

• Prices that already include 10% VAT

  Bahrain's standard VAT rate has been 10% since 1 January 2022, and Article 3 of the VAT law says the price displayed in the local market must include the VAT due. A registered business also states its tax registration number on each tax invoice (Article 70). We set the shop to show VAT-inclusive prices in three-decimal dinars and put your VAT number on the invoices and receipts it sends.

• The CR number and the policy pages

  Bahrain's national portal says every e-store operating in Bahrain must give its business contact details, display its Commercial Registration number, hold the licences it needs before selling online, and provide exchange and return, terms of use and data protection policies. Using an untrue CR number in a publication is an offence under the Commercial Register law (Legislative Decree No. 27 of 2015, Article 27). We put the CR number and contact details in the footer of every page and build the policy pages in from the start.

• A review step before the order goes in

  Legislative Decree No. 54 of 2018 gives electronic contracts legal effect, including those formed through automated systems. But where an automated system gave a person no chance to correct an input error, they may withdraw that part (Article 14(b)). So every checkout and booking form we build ends with a summary the buyer can check and edit before they confirm.

• Forms that respect the PDPL

  Law No. 30 of 2018 on Personal Data Protection has been in force since 1 August 2019. If someone asks, a business must stop using their data for direct marketing within 10 working days (Article 20), and a controller notifies the Authority before automated processing, subject to exemptions (Article 14). Listed offences carry fines of BD 1,000 to BD 20,000 (Article 58). We write the notice into each form, keep marketing opt-ins separate and make the opt-out work.

• Where the data goes, and a breach plan

  Article 12 of the PDPL limits sending personal data outside Bahrain to countries the Authority lists as adequately protective, or to cases such as the Authority's permission, the person's consent or performing a contract. DLA Piper notes that a breach affecting people's rights is reported to the Authority within 72 hours of its discovery, and that a business must use processors that give sufficient technical and organisational guarantees. We document where your site's data is stored and who can reach it, so you can answer both questions.

• A .bh or .com.bh domain in your name

  The TRA runs .bh and the Arabic .البحرين through register.bh, which says anyone may register a second-level .bh name. Third-level extensions are limited to set users, such as .com.bh for businesses or individuals and .edu.bh for educational institutions, and every name is registered through one of register.bh's retailers. You register the domain in your company's name, and we connect it to the site.
