Merchants

If you want to accept payments (e-Commerce or social networks) or deliver payments to your users, this is the section for you and here are the options you can choose from:

Payment links to be shared in social networks like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp to accept payments in cash or digitally (credit/debit card, bank transfer, e-wallet, BNPL).

Payment plugins for the main e-Commerce platforms (VTEX, WooCommerce, Shopify, Prestashop, Magento) to accept payments in cash or digitally (credit/debit card, bank transfer, e-wallet, BNPL).

Cashin and Payment APIs with examples in the main programming languages to accept payments in cash or digitally (credit/debit card, bank transfer, e-wallet, BNPL).

Subscription APIs with examples in the main programming languages to accept periodic payments associated to products or services like subscriptions, memberships, or fixed amount policies. We have APIs to enroll credit cards that can be used to make future payments without the user's intervention, or to send periodic e-mail reminders so users can choose their preferred payment method (cash, bank transfer, e-wallet).

Cashout and Disbursement APIs with examples in the main programming languages to deliver payments to your users in cash (cashout) or to their bank accounts (payout). Typical use cases include payments for prizes, refunds, salaries, or international remittances.

SFTP reconciliation files to ease automated accounting reconciliation.

Check our user manuals to make the most out of our Merchants admin console and payments checkout which implements the best practices of international standard PCI-DSS v4.0.
