dLocal, a cross-border payments platform based in Uruguay, has partnered with Tiendamia, a Latin American e-commerce marketplace, to streamline payments for customers and sellers in the region.
The collaboration allows for faster checkout using local payment methods and clearer pricing across multiple Latin American markets.
Cross-border e-commerce is growing in Latin America as consumers increasingly purchase products from international sellers.
However, completing these transactions can be complex due to local payment preferences, limited access to credit cards, and fragmented infrastructure, which can make it harder for shoppers to pay and for businesses to process and settle transactions.
Through the partnership, dLocal enables Tiendamia to operate across several Latin American countries without establishing local entities in each market.
A single integration allows Tiendamia to accept cross-border payments and offer various local payment methods, including cards and cash-based options in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru and Argentina, as well as eWallet support in Argentina.
It also enables fully domestic transactions in Uruguay.
On the payout side, Tiendamia can pay local providers in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru and Uruguay, while dLocal manages foreign exchange conversion, compliance and back-end operations.
Looking ahead, dLocal is expanding local payment options in the region, allowing Tiendamia to offer more choices for customers while simplifying regional operations.
“As a cross-border platform, we operate at the intersection of international demand and local infrastructure,”
said Rafael Blanco, Revenue Director at Tiendamia.
“Our ecosystem depends on reliable payments, not just from customers, but also to sellers and logistics partners across many countries. With dLocal, we are able to handle both sides, using local acquiring and real-time rails to move faster, improve success rates, and give everyone a better experience.”

“Tiendamia’s model is all about connecting global supply with local expectations. That means offering payment methods that feel native to Latin American customers, and making sure payouts work smoothly behind the scenes,”
said Andrea Walj, Head of Account Management (Americas) at dLocal.
“We are proud to support that vision by simplifying local operations, allowing Tiendamia to focus on what truly matters: delivering a consistent experience across borders.”
