Most of your website visitors in Bangladesh don’t have a credit card. A lot of them don’t have a bank account either. But almost everyone has bKash.
The bKash payment allows your customer to make online payments simply using their mobile phone. If your checkout doesn’t accept it, you’re losing sales before the customer even gets to the payment page. Paymattic helps you avoid that.
This guide walks you through the ins and outs of the bKash payment gateway and how you can integrate bKash payment into your WordPress website using the Paymattic plugin.
TL;DR
- Most Bangladeshi shoppers pay with bKash, not cards, so skipping it means losing customers before checkout.
- bKash is used by 80M+ people in Bangladesh, many of whom don’t have a bank account at all
- Without bKash, you’re invisible to a huge chunk of buyers who’d otherwise pay you.
- Paymattic adds bKash to your site without needing an add-on; it works as a standalone plugin.
- The connection runs through SSLCOMMERZ, which also unlocks cards, Nagad, and Upay in the same setup.
- You’re not limited to bKash. Paymattic supports 13+ gateways and 135+ currencies if you sell beyond Bangladesh too.
- Setup takes a few steps inside WordPress; no developer or code required.
bKash payment gateway?
bKash is Bangladesh’s largest mobile financial service, used by more than 80M+ people for everything from splitting a lunch bill to paying school fees. It runs entirely through a mobile app no bank branch or card needed.
For merchants, that scale is the point. A large share of bKash’s user base doesn’t have a traditional bank account at all. If your checkout only accepts cards, you’re invisible to them. If it accepts bKash, you’re not.
Beyond reach, bKash also solves a trust problem. Bangladeshi buyers are far more comfortable paying through an app they use daily than typing card details into an unfamiliar checkout page. That familiarity alone can move the needle on conversion.
Paymattic: a WordPress plugin built to accept bKash payments
Paymattic is one of the best and most popular WordPress plugins for accepting donations & online payments. You can create payment forms with Paymattic in just a few clicks. Besides, you don’t need to use any other plugin to use Paymattic. It is a completely independent plugin that requires no other plugin to use all its features.
You can receive bKash payments through the SSLCOMMERZ payment gateway using Paymattic. SSLCOMMERZ is the largest payment gateway aggregator based in Bangladesh. It supports all debit cards, credit cards, and prepaid cards, including mobile banking such as bKash, Nagad, Upay, and other internet banking systems.

This is a multi-purpose plugin that can be used to accept payments for a product or service as well as to collect donations. The Donation Progress Item feature adds a dynamic progress bar to the form. With the Tabular Product Items field, you can create a product table in the form.
