# A crypto payment gateway for UAE businesses

> For companies registered anywhere in the Emirates — mainland, a free zone, Dubai or Abu Dhabi — that want to take stablecoin payments from customers worldwide and keep clean books on every one of them.

## One integration, whichever emirate you operate from

Payaries is an online, API-based gateway, so nothing about it depends on which emirate or free zone your company sits in. You integrate once from your backend and every customer, in the UAE or abroad, pays through the same flow. Dubai-specific notes are on the [Dubai page](https://www.payaries.com/crypto-payment-gateway-dubai); this page is about running the payment side of a UAE company.

Payaries is a global platform. UAE businesses are a priority audience for us, and the product is the same for everyone: the same API, the same networks and the same dashboard.

## What your finance team gets

- **One invoice per payment, one address per invoice.** Each invoice carries your own `referenceId` and gets its own one-time deposit address, so a payment maps to an order without matching amounts by hand.
- **A locked rate.** The fiat amount is converted when the invoice is created and doesn't move while the customer pays — see [how confirmations work](https://www.payaries.com/guides/crypto-payment-confirmations).
- **A ledger and settlements view.** Invoices, wallet balances, settlements and withdrawals are all in the merchant dashboard.
- **Exceptions that are visible.** A short payment is flagged `underpaid` with the shortfall; a late one is recorded rather than dropped. See [handling underpaid and late payments](https://www.payaries.com/guides/handle-underpaid-and-late-crypto-payments).
- **A dedicated wallet per network**, never pooled with other merchants, whose live on-chain balance you can check on a block explorer.

## Choosing the stablecoin and network

The dirham is pegged to the US dollar, so a dollar stablecoin is the natural unit. Which network to offer is a question about your customers: Tron for USDT transfers with low network fees, BNB Smart Chain or Polygon for lower-cost EVM transfers, Ethereum where customers already hold their balance there. Offering two or three at checkout is usually enough. The networks and their asset IDs are on the [USDT payment gateway page](https://www.payaries.com/usdt-payment-gateway).

| Network | Page |
|---|---|
| Tron (TRC-20) | [TRC-20 USDT gateway](https://www.payaries.com/crypto-payment-gateway/trc20) |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) | [BEP-20 USDT gateway](https://www.payaries.com/crypto-payment-gateway/bep20) |
| Ethereum (ERC-20) | [ERC-20 USDT gateway](https://www.payaries.com/crypto-payment-gateway/erc20) |

## Regulation: take advice first

> **This is not legal advice.** Payaries is a technology platform. Whether your business needs a licence or approval to accept, hold or pay out crypto depends on where you are registered, what you do and who your customers are, and Payaries makes no statement about it. Take advice from a qualified local adviser before you launch.

Your funds sit in a dedicated wallet per network, held for you by Payaries until you withdraw. [What that means for control and risk](https://www.payaries.com/guides/custodial-vs-non-custodial-payment-gateway) sets it out, so you can judge how it sits with your own obligations.

## Questions

**Which UAE businesses can use Payaries?**
Payaries is an online API gateway that can be integrated from any location, including the Emirates' mainland and free zones. Whether your company may accept or hold crypto depends on its registration, activity and licensing, which Payaries can't advise on.

**Does it matter whether my company is in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?**
Not to how the platform works — the API, networks and dashboard are the same everywhere. The regulatory position can differ by emirate and free zone, so check it with a UAE-qualified adviser.

**Can my accountant reconcile crypto receipts?**
Every invoice has your own reference ID, a locked fiat amount, a transaction record and a status, and settlements and withdrawals are listed in the dashboard, so each receipt can be tied back to an order.

**Does Payaries pay out in dirhams?**
No. You are credited in the crypto your customer paid and withdraw it to any address you control. Converting to dirhams is a separate step with an exchange or other provider.
