What Exactly Is Unified Commerce?
Unified commerce is the next evolution of omnichannel. While omnichannel connects multiple sales channels, unified commerce connects the data behind them.
- One platform for all payments—website, POS terminal, SoftPOS, or payment link.
- One dashboard—real-time transactions, settlements, and analytics.
- One customer view—understand buying behavior across every touchpoint.
In short, unified commerce turns fragmented systems into a single source of truth for your payments.
Why Qatar Is Ready for Unified Commerce
Qatar is entering its cashless decade. Driven by the Qatar Central Bank’s digital payment strategy, local businesses are rapidly adopting Himyan cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and debit/credit cards. Physical stores are blending in-store experiences with online convenience—digital invoices, QR payments, and home delivery.
But with growth comes complexity: multiple systems, integrations, and settlement reports. Unified commerce changes that completely—and Dibsy is leading this shift.
The Power of Connecting Online and In-Person Payments
When your POS terminal and online checkout speak the same language, magic happens:
- A customer shops in-store and pays via terminal.
- Later that week, they order again from your website.
- Both transactions appear under the same customer ID—same data, same insights, same dashboard.
Now your sales, refunds, loyalty, and analytics live in one place. That’s the promise of Dibsy Unified Commerce—bridging every payment journey across channels to help you serve customers better and grow faster.
Dibsy’s Role: Building Qatar’s Unified Payment Infrastructure
- Accept payments online and in-store—all in one account.
- Settle funds locally—directly into Qatari bank accounts in QAR.

- Instant insights—track success rates, refunds, and settlement timelines.
Because Dibsy is regulated by the Qatar Central Bank, you get local reliability, compliance, and human support in Doha. We’re built for Qatar, in Qatar.

The Shift from Omnichannel to Unified Commerce
Omnichannel lets customers pay through different channels. Unified commerce lets businesses manage, analyze, and optimize all those channels together.
Think of it this way: Omnichannel connects experiences. Unified commerce connects the ecosystem.
