36questions, 9 minutes and your result at the end

What it is: Payment gateways and terminals

Payment, sale and deposit in the same record

A payment gateway takes card, QR or link payments from the website, till or terminal and returns the confirmation to the sales system. Properly integrated, each payment is tied to its sale and its deposit.

Without integration, the cashier keys the amount on a separate terminal and the back office compares payments with sales by hand.

Signs your company needs one

  • The amount is keyed twice: at the till and on the terminal
  • QR or link payments are not tied to the order
  • The processor settlement is reconciled by hand
  • Fees are not recorded per sale
  • Duplicate payments are sorted out by phone
  • Each channel uses a different gateway with no single view
Who it is for

Company profile for payments and terminals, and when it is not a fit

Good fit

  • You take card, QR or link payments in more than one channel.
  • Treasury matches processor payouts to the bank statement by hand.
  • There have been duplicate or pending payments, or chargebacks with no clear trail.

Poor fit

  • You collect almost everything in cash or transfer: integration saves little.
  • You only want the lowest fee: that is negotiated with the processor, no project needed.
  • Sales are not recorded in a system: the sale comes first.
If nothing changes

The cost of staying as you are

  1. Duplicate charges

    A terminal that doesn't respond and a retry without checking end in a customer charged twice and a slow refund.

  2. Fees nobody sees

    If the deposit arrives net, each sale's fee never shows up in the margin until someone looks for it.

  3. Closings that drag on

    Reconciling slips, portals and deposits by hand takes days of back-office time every month.

DMG-RT method

Payments and terminals analysis in four steps

Process and data first, the tool second. Each step ends in a deliverable you review.

Diego Muñoz, process and technology consultant
  1. One week of payments

    We match one week of sales against settlements and deposits, and classify each difference by cause.

  2. Payment methods and accounts

    With accounting we define the account, fee and payout time of each payment method.

  3. Processor API and hardware

    We review the processor's documentation and integration kit, and test the real terminal before committing to dates.

  4. Integration with monitoring

    We connect till, web and settlements to accounting, with alerts for uncertain, failed or duplicate payments.

Services

Payments and terminals assessment, selection and integration

We assess, choose with you and integrate

Scope

We analyze your payments, help you choose a processor and connect the card terminal, QR or payment link to your till, online store and accounting. The contract and certification come from the processor; we build the integration and reconciliation.

Payments assessment

Differences classified by cause, payment methods with account and fee, and a list of integrations.

Processor selection

Comparison of options available in Peru by fee, payout time, hardware and API documentation.

Integration and reconciliation

Market

Market options for payments and terminals

In no order of preference. The choice comes from your requirements, your budget and the systems you already have.

Odoo Point of Sale and Website with payment providers

Odoo Point of Sale and Website include standard connectors with several payment providers; for local processors there are add-ons, or they are developed. In every case we first review the processor's API.

Other platforms we assess

  • Izipay
  • Niubiz
  • OpenPay (BBVA)
  • Mercado Pago
  • Culqi
  • Stripe
  • Adyen

Selection criteria

  • Fee and payout time per payment method
  • API documentation and integration kit
  • A terminal compatible with your till and operating system
  • Settlement report downloadable or via API
Limits

Payments and terminals limits and ways to cover them

  • The gateway does not reconcile with accounting on its own

    Settlements, fees and ledger accounts are connected in the ERP.

  • Outsourcing payments does not remove security duties

    It is documented what the processor controls and what the company controls.

  • Onboarding and fees depend on the processor

    We compare options and connect the chosen one; your company signs the contract with the processor.

Online assessment

Payments and terminals assessment: 36 questions, 9 minutes

This analysis reviews how you collect with pinpad, Yape, Plin, link or web checkout, and how each payment reaches the sale and accounting. The questions describe checkout, treasury and processor portal access situations.

Scored dimensions

  • Payment at the point of sale. It looks at how payment is taken at the store POS, the pinpad or the QR code, and how an attempt with an uncertain result is handled.
  • Payment reference on the sale. It checks whether each receipt, invoice or web order keeps the authorization code, the transaction identifier and the channel where it was collected.
  • Processor settlement and deposits. It looks at how the gateway settlement, with fees, withholdings and deposit terms, reaches accounting and is matched with each store's sales.
  • Voids, failures and chargebacks. It looks at how refunds to card or wallet are approved, how failed or duplicated payments are recorded and how a chargeback is answered within the processor's deadline.
  • Card security and portals. It looks at who logs in to the processor portal, with which permissions, and whether the company knows its PCI DSS scope and what each provider takes on.

What you receive

At the end you receive your level in payment, reference, settlement, incidents and access, with the main gap in each. You also receive the first step to take at the checkout and in treasury.

FAQ

Common questions about payments and terminals

If your question is not listed, Diego answers it on WhatsApp during Lima business hours.

Those with a documented API or integration kit. Before quoting we review yours and tell you what can be automated.

No. The contract is between your company and the processor, and money goes straight to your account. We only connect the systems.

Yes, in the processor's sandbox. Before going live we also test with the real terminal, because the sandbox does not show every failure.
