What if your loyalty points could help your customers pay a government bill?
Abkhas is a digital points wallet that turns the rewards your store hands out into real money against electricity bills, water bills, traffic fines, and other government charges. The Abkhas integration connects your Salla store to that wallet, so the points a shopper earns with you follow them into their everyday life instead of sitting unused. In this guide, you'll learn what Abkhas does, whether you need an account first, how to connect it to your store, and how to remove it later.
To connect Abkhas, open (My installed apps) from your dashboard side menu, click (Browse Salla App Store), then open the Abkhas app page and click (Install). Review the permissions the app requests and click (Grant permission). Your store is linked as soon as the permission is granted.

๐ฏ What Abkhas is
Abkhas is a platform for individuals, private businesses, and government bodies, built around an electronic points wallet. For a private business it is a loyalty tool; for a shopper it is a simpler way to settle a government bill.
The idea is straightforward. Private-sector loyalty programs generate points, and Abkhas lets those points be converted into their cash value and applied to government bills โ electricity, water, traffic fines, and similar charges. Your rewards program gives something back to the customer, and the customer gets help with a bill they would have to pay anyway.
๐ฏ Do you need an Abkhas account first?
No. When you install the Abkhas app from the Salla App Store, a new Abkhas account is created for you automatically. If you already have an Abkhas account, contact Abkhas technical support instead and ask them to activate that account on your Salla store.
๐ How to connect Abkhas to your store
1. From the side menu of your dashboard, click (My installed apps).
2. From the Salla App Store banner, click (Browse Salla App Store).
3. From the Abkhas app page, click (Install).
4. Review the permissions the app requests, then click (Grant permission).
Your Salla store is now connected to your Abkhas account.
The Abkhas home page then looks like this:

What happens to points if a customer returns an order?
The points issued for that order are returned to your account in full.
I already have an Abkhas account โ can I use it?
