Algeria Payment Integration

The problem

You're building a product for the Algerian market and you need to accept card payments (CIB and Edahabia). SATIM is the only gateway. But integrating it is painful.

The documentation is sparse. The API has quirks that aren't documented anywhere. Most developers resort to expensive middlemen or unmaintained packages that haven't been updated in years. Manual integration is error-prone: mis-typed parameters, hard-coded credentials, GET requests that expose secrets in server logs.

And before any of this, you need SATIM certification, a process that takes weeks and requires specific technical compliance.

What I do

I handle the full SATIM integration: from certification to production deployment.

What you get:

  • Complete payment flow: initiation, confirmation, refunds
  • Support for both CIB and Edahabia cards
  • Type-safe integration with compile-time error catching
  • Secure credential management (no secrets in URLs or logs)
  • Webhook handling for payment confirmations
  • Multi-merchant support if you operate multiple businesses
  • Test mode for development, production mode for go-live

What I've already built:

I wrote the open-source TypeScript SDK for SATIM (@bakissation/satim on npm) and the Fastify server plugin. These are the tools I use for every integration: battle-tested, type-safe, and maintained.

How I work

  1. Assessment. I review your stack and payment requirements
  2. Certification. If you don't have SATIM certification yet, I guide you through the process
  3. Integration. I implement the payment flow in your application
  4. Testing. End-to-end testing in SATIM's sandbox environment
  5. Go-live. Production deployment with monitoring

Typical turnaround: 1-2 weeks.

Proof of work

  • SATIM-TS Payments SDK. The TypeScript SDK I built and open-sourced for SATIM integration. Reduced integration time from hours to minutes. Published on npm with full type safety, Zod validation, and secure credential handling.

  • Fastify-SATIM Plugin. A Fastify plugin that handles SATIM payment routes, validation, and error mapping. Supports multi-tenant merchants. Reduced hundreds of lines of boilerplate to a single plugin registration.

Who this is for

  • Algerian startups building e-commerce or SaaS products
  • International companies entering the Algerian market
  • Existing businesses adding online payments to their operations
