Availability of Advanced Credit/Debit Card Payments for UAE Merchants

[intelebiz]

Hello,

I'm seeking clarification about the availability and integration options for PayPal's advanced credit and debit card payment services for merchants based in the UAE.

Specifically, I'd like to know:

1. Service Availability: Can merchants based in the UAE use the advanced credit and debit card payment services to accept USD payments?
2. Integration Recommendations: What is the recommended method of integration for UAE-based merchants – is it Hosted Checkout, Transparent Redirect, or another method?

Our goal is to offer our customers a seamless and secure payment experience. Any guidance or insights you can provide on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
-Almichael
