| QR Code | Present users with both payment options: QR code or Copy&Paste ID. A) Your desktop/laptop users will definitely prefer to pay by scanning the QR, since it is easy to scan a QR presented on a laptop, using their phones. B) Your mobile users, on the other hand, should probably prefer the Copy&Paste ID functionality, since the QR code is difficult to read with the very same phone that shows the QR code. |

Pix via Open Finance (PISP/ITP)
dLocal will act as the "messenger/orchestrator" of the payment transaction, in the sense that it never holds the funds involved. It merely communicates that the account holder must transfer the funds to the recipient's account as indicated by the messaging provided by the ITP.
It's important to clarify that in a certain payment flow, it won't necessarily be the case that dLocal acts simultaneously as both the account holder and the initiator. For example, if a customer initiates a payment on Mercado Livre, the initiator will be Mercado Pago, which will then send the message to dLocal to transfer the funds.
