A key payment trend keeping you one step ahead of the market

PayRetailers offers merchants a single API to access the available digital wallets. Digital wallets are familiar to the buyer, user-friendly, and the transaction is confirmed in real time for both merchants and customers.

Our technology can be embedded in e-wallets within the mobile app architecture, to boost other payment methods such as bank transfers, card or QR code payments

According to a survey carried out by Mastercard, this year, 66% of Latinos are expected to adopt contactless payment methods, such as QR codes, for faster, safer and more flexible digital experiences.

As well as offering more than 250 local payment methods in the 12 countries where we operate, PayRetailers enables multi-currency payments. International merchants can close sales in Mexican pesos, Argentinean pesos, Brazilian reais, Peruvian soles …. with no need for customers to change currency at the moment of purchase.

The payment technology of digital wallets is highly secure as it is based on tokenization which encrypts the data of physical transaction methods, such as credit cards. By adding an additional layer of security, sensitive data isn’t compromised and card number or CVV information can’t be exposed to fraudulent use.

Users only have to sign up only to an account, card or wallet – they don’t have to repeatedly authenticate their details. This is another reason for the increasing popularity of this payment method.
