Integration to connect

One connection for every Ecuador method, pay-ins and payouts.

Three ways to pay, all familiar to your customers

At checkout, customers choose the option that suits them: a bank transfer, the Deuna wallet or cash at a nearby agent. Each one works differently, so each comes with its own short instructions.

Bank transfer

Pay from their own bank

Bank transfer

  • Banco Guayaquil

Your customer opens a secure payment page, chooses their bank and approves the transfer. They enter their name, email and ID number: cédula, driver's licence or passport.

  1. Open the payment page and choose your bank.

  2. Enter your details and approve the transfer with your bank.

  3. Return to the store once it's done.

Digital wallet

Pay from the Deuna app

Deuna

  • Deuna

On a phone, your customer opens the Deuna app straight from checkout. On a computer, they scan a QR code with the app instead.

  1. Tap Open app, or scan the QR code with Deuna.

  2. Check the amount.

  3. Approve the payment in the app.

Cash

Pay in cash at a nearby agent

Five cash networks

  • Bemóvil
  • Mi Negocio Efectivo
  • Omniswitch
  • Rapi Activo
  • Western Union

Your customer gets an agreement code and a reference number, then pays in cash and shows their ID.

  1. Go to a Bemovil, Mi Negocio Efectivo, Omniswitch, RapiActivo or Western Union location.

  2. Give the agreement code, reference number and amount.

  3. Show your ID, pay, and keep the receipt.

Pay-ins

  1. At checkout, your customer chooses bank transfer, Deuna or cash, and gets the payment details.

  2. They pay through their bank, in the Deuna app, or in cash at an agent.

  3. PayPaga matches the payment to the order, confirms it to you and includes it in your settlement.

Pay-ins

  1. You send one payout request through the same integration.

  2. PayPaga sends the dollars to your recipient's bank, cooperative or mutualista account, or for cash pickup at Western Union.

Built for how Ecuador pays

What one integration with PayPaga gives your business in Ecuador.

  • Local payment methods

    A checkout your customers recognise

    Let customers pay by bank transfer, with Deuna or in cash at a nearby agent. A familiar payment step gives them one less reason to leave before paying.

  • One integration

    Build once, reach every Ecuador method

    Every method uses the same request, so your team builds and maintains one integration, not one for each provider. Connect server-to-server or with PayURL, a hosted payment page.

  • Local currency support

    Charge in US dollars

    Ecuador uses the US dollar, so customers pay in the currency they already use, with no conversion at checkout.

  • Pay-ins and payouts

    Collect and pay out through the same connection

    Send payouts in dollars to bank, cooperative or mutualista accounts, or as Western Union cash pickup, through the integration you already use to collect.

  • Settlement options

    Settle in fiat or stablecoins

    Choose settlement in fiat or in stablecoins (USDT or USDC).
