Merchant considerations
ProntoPaga should be assessed for country-specific method availability and integration route before rollout.
Payment methods vary by country
The merchant should query ProntoPaga's payment-method endpoint rather than assume every method is enabled.
Live markets only
Current documented markets are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Peru. Countries described as coming soon should not be treated as live.
Transaction limits are method-specific
Transaction limits are specific to the country and payment method rather than one universal gateway limit.
Refund behaviour varies by rail
Refund and dispute capabilities vary by rail; multiple refunds are not universally confirmed.
One-click support is not universal
One-click payment support is confirmed for Yape On File but is not universal across all rails.
Settlement details need confirmation
Settlement currencies and schedules should be confirmed per merchant account.
No official Shopify plugin
No official Shopify plugin or App Store listing was confirmed; WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Adobe Commerce integrations are documented instead.
