PayU + Shuttle

PayU is one of the largest payment technology companies operating in high-growth emerging markets, processing transactions in more than 18 countries across Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India. What distinguishes PayU from processors focused primarily on North America and Western Europe is its deep support for local payment methods that dominate in these regions — cash vouchers like OXXO in Mexico and Boleto Bancario in Brazil, bank transfers, local card schemes, and mobile wallets. PayU provides local acquiring licenses in most of its operating markets, which translates to significantly higher authorization rates compared to cross-border processing.

Shuttle’s integration with PayU gives platforms immediate access to emerging market payment infrastructure without building country-by-country integrations. Through the Shuttle payment layer, a platform can route Latin American transactions to PayU for local acquiring while simultaneously processing North American and Western European transactions through other connected PSPs, all from the same API. Voice Checkout sessions handled by Shuttle can process payments through PayU when the caller’s geography or payment method makes PayU the optimal route, and Payment Links automatically adapt to present the local payment methods PayU supports based on the buyer’s location and currency.

This integration is particularly strategic for platforms expanding into markets where PayU has strong local presence. Instead of navigating the regulatory complexity and technical overhead of integrating directly with PayU’s regional APIs — which vary by market — platforms connect once to Shuttle and gain access to the full PayU network alongside every other processor in Shuttle’s portfolio. Shuttle normalizes the transaction data and settlement reporting across all PSPs, so a platform’s finance team sees a consistent reconciliation format regardless of whether a transaction was processed by PayU in Colombia or a different processor in the United States. For marketplaces and SaaS platforms pursuing international growth, this means the payments infrastructure scales with the business without compounding engineering debt.
