Connect Bede

Step 1: Open the Online payment page

Go to Settings → Payments & tax → Payment Methods, turn on Online payment and press Configure. When your store's country is Kuwait, the page shows Payment gateway with Bede and Stripe. Bede is picked.

Step 2: Paste your Bede details

Paste the Merchant ID (it starts with mer) and the Secret key Bede gave you. Fill Sub-merchant ID only if Bede gave you one. The key is stored encrypted and never shown again.

Step 3: Pick the ways to pay

Under Ways to pay, switch on what your Bede account has: KNET, Visa / Mastercard, Apple Pay, American Express. KNET and Visa / Mastercard are on to start with. Leave Mode on Live, or pick Test to try Bede's sandbox first.

Step 4: Save and turn on

Press Save and turn on. Menuthere checks the details with Bede first. You see "Bede is on. Customers can pay online." The card then shows Connected with your Merchant ID.

Nothing else to set up in BedeYou don't add a webhook or a return address in Bede: each payment tells Bede where to send the customer back.

What customers see

  • At checkout the customer chooses to pay online. If you offer more than one way to pay, they pick one under "How would you like to pay?". Apple Pay shows only on devices that have it.
  • Bede's payment page opens with the amount of the order, in Kuwaiti dinar (KWD).
  • After paying, Bede sends them back to your store and the order shows as paid. If the payment fails or they cancel, their cart is still there.
  • If a customer closes the page after paying, the order is marked paid within a few minutes.
  • Dine-in orders paid after the meal can be paid through Bede too, with the first way to pay on your list. See Payment options for each order type.
Good to knowBede is for stores in Kuwait. If your country shows wrongly, use the Not in (your country)? Change country link at the bottom of the card. Online payment needs an order of at least 0.100 KWD. Bede's own fees apply and payouts follow your Bede schedule. Disconnect Bede deletes your details and switches online payment off.
