 Linx Announces Partnership with Mercado Pago

With the digitization of society, new means of payment are gaining ground. This scenario demands from companies constant attention to market trends and agility in adaptation processes. It is with this premise that Linx, leader and specialist in retail technology, has just announced a partnership with Mercado Pago, Mercado Livre´s fintech, to offer QR Code payment on Linx solutions.

Collaboration between companies comes as another facilitation tool for the retailer as it enables faster and more efficient management through the QR Linx system, which acts as a wallet hub centralizing all payment platforms in a single engine. This way, the retailer will have access to the financial processes in only one interface.

The partnership between the two companies aims to reduce the red tape faced by retailers. It comes as the best choice for those looking for the robustness of a solid and reliable company with the agility of a fintech. “This partnership was created to meet a range of market needs and is part of the commitment of both companies to develop innovative solutions that make their customers' daily lives easier,” explains Denis Piovezan, Linx Pay´s Executive Director. According to him, "QR Linx works as a technology integrated with Linx solutions and was developed to facilitate the settlement and financial reconciliation of the business."

According to Rodrigo Furiato, Mercado Pago´s Wallet director, "Partnering with Linx contributes to escalating acceptance of the QR Code, the instant payment technology that is transforming the industry as it reduces intermediaries and transaction costs." For the executive, "integration with Linx enables intelligent business management contributing to increased sales."

Retail Trend

According to the study "Means of payment: QR Code - In the view of consumers and retailers'", developed by the Sociedade Brasileira de Varejo e Consumo (Brazilian Society of Retail and Consumption, SBVC) and AGP Pesquisas, 82% of retailers intend to adopt applications and QR Codes as means of payment within the next 12 months.
