Checkout.com vs. dLocal

Checkout offers great service and expertise and stands above its peers in full-service offering, integration, and ongoing support. However, Checkout is not suitable in a scenario where Paysend is fully licensed and a direct acquirer of the scheme. In this scenario, Paysend can perform the full value chain in-house.

dLocal does a very good job of explaining why payments fail when they occur, and makes it clear what happened. I work with Onesource too, and it doesn't explain this very well. There is a specific payment in Brazil called PIX, as if it were a digital wallet that makes payments immediately. This payment is processed by Demerge, but it is not possible to find this type of payment in platform. So sometimes the client makes the payment in this way to another account by mistake, and we are unable to locate it on our part.

The dLocal platform is very easy to use, and has a well thought out user experience. It's intuitive for you to find what you want, with the different filters that the site offers. As well as information that returns about a specific payment, such as all customer-related content, which is used to find Spotify accounts

In the last 3 years that I have been working with Checkout.com, they had an unplanned outage that lasted less than a few minutes. Their uptime is amazing. If they have maintenance, unlike banks, they don't have downtime during this time. We frequently require their support and Checkout.com responds to us within minutes. When we have important rollouts, I schedule calls with our merchant support manager to monitor the rollout/perform tests, etc. It is always easy to find time lost even with short notice.

Checkout.com performance as an acquirer and a PSP is excellent. We have too many transactions per day, therefore reports take some time to generate before they are available for downloading. But it indeed takes reasonable time. We use native/h2h integration therefore, there is no redirection issue, all pages load quickly on our side. Based on my experience, Checkout.com will never never integrate with software or systems that will slow them down. Amongst all payment methods they offer, all are processed immediately, without delays.

When we were discovering the possibility of opening an entity in the United States to process transactions as domestic cards, Checkout.com did not just quickly provide the requirements to open that market as we asked them to but showed us slides with all the possibilities we had for each of their licenses in the world, calculating an estimate of the acquiring costs and acceptance rate we would have, based on the cross-border volumes we were processing with them, to evaluate other ways to improve our business.

Both CyberSource and Ingenico provided poor support on any types of issues. Integration was a nightmare as it took months just to set them up as compared to Checkout.com. Checkout.com provided us with quick integration and constant monitoring of our transactions which is what we really needed.

dLocal is the most complete among the platforms I use in my daily life, in relation to searching for payments. both in layout, UX, optimization, among other things. In addition to being possible to locate several different types of payments from different countries. As a comparison, Onesource works mostly only for payments in Latin America

Our tech team implemented payments API to process payments online. Analytics team receives transaction repots that we use to build our own performance dashboards and help to reconcile transactions. API is indeed flexible - we don't use all features but if required we can easily implement them. When Checkout.com adds new features or functionalities, some of them can be used even on an older API version which saved us tech resources and implementation time. We use the same API to expand into new markets - technically we don't need to change anything when we want to launch payments in a new country.

• dLocal can reduce payment costs by uniting and simplifying international and local payments on one platform, which can help you make better money
