As Egypt accelerates its journey toward a cashless economy, Fawry’s latest move, embedding payments into Odoo with CDS Solutions, positions it at the heart of the country’s digital future.
By combining Fawry’s robust payment infrastructure with CDS Solutions’ expertise in Odoo implementation, this partnership empowers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations with efficient, secure, and integrated transaction solutions.
Fawry, established in 2008, is a pioneer in Egypt’s e-payment sector, serving over 53.8 million users monthly through a network of 36 member banks and 396,000 agents, processing over 6 million transactions daily.
Its services include bill payments, mobile top-ups, e-ticketing, and more, catering to both banked and unbanked populations.
CDS Solutions, with over a decade of experience, specialises in Odoo implementation, customisation, and support, particularly in the retail, food and beverage, and hospitality sectors.
Odoo, a versatile open-source ERP, integrates functions like CRM, accounting, and inventory management, making it a go-to solution for businesses seeking digital transformation.
This partnership enables seamless integration of Fawry’s payment acceptance capabilities into Odoo’s cloud-based system.
Merchants can now manage transactions and generate financial reports directly within Odoo, eliminating the need for separate systems.
CDS Solutions handles the technical integration, ensuring compatibility across all Egyptian governorates, while Fawry provides secure POS terminals. Tools like the Fawry POS Payment Terminal, available on the Odoo Apps Store for versions such as 15.0, simplify the process for users.
The collaboration delivers multiple benefits. It enhances operational efficiency by reducing manual processes, improves transaction security, and supports business agility in a competitive market.

SMEs and large enterprises alike can leverage this solution to streamline operations, while the push for cashless transactions supports Egypt’s broader digital economy goals.
As Bassem Lotfy, Head of Business Development at Fawry, stated, this integration “streamlines financial operations and supports the growth of thousands of Egyptian businesses.” Eng. Ramadan Khalil, CEO of CDS Solutions, emphasised that the partnership offers clients “integrated and secure payment solutions within Odoo, granting greater agility.”
This move aligns with Egypt’s growing fintech landscape, where digital payment adoption is accelerating. Similar to Fawry’s recent partnerships, such as with FORSA for “Buy Now, Pay Later” services, this collaboration reflects a trend toward simplifying business operations.
For businesses using Odoo, this integration offers a game-changing opportunity to enhance payment workflows.
