What Braspag does

Braspag is a Brazilian e-commerce payment technology platform that operates as a subsidiary/solution brand of Cielo S.A., Brazil's largest payment institution. The company's core function is enabling online merchants to accept, route, split, and secure digital payments through modular APIs and a multi-acquirer gateway that connects a single integration to multiple acquirers, card networks, and alternative payment methods.

Its product portfolio spans six offerings organized under the Cielo e-commerce umbrella: Split de Pagamento (transaction-value division among multiple participants with configurable rules and automated transfers), Gateway de Pagamento (multi-acquirer integration hub), Gestão de Risco (fraud prevention and chargeback protection powered by Cybersource and ClearSale, advertised with 1.5-second average risk-decision latency), Cielo Checkout (hosted payment page with recurring-charge support), API E-commerce (modular payment integration APIs), and Link de Pagamento (unlimited, no-monthly-fee payment links distributed through WhatsApp, social media, and email). The Gateway, Split de Pagamento, and Gestão de Risco offerings are explicitly branded as 'Uma solução Braspag' (A Braspag solution).

Braspag monetizes primarily through transaction fees on processed payments, split payment services, and risk management services, with quote-based enterprise pricing for API/Checkout/Gateway/Split/Risk contracts and pay-as-you-go pricing for Link de Pagamento. Go-to-market combines direct sales with specialist-assisted contracting for enterprise e-commerce customers, self-serve digital onboarding for SMBs and micro-sellers, and a WhatsApp support channel. Customer segments span e-commerce businesses (primary), marketplaces and platforms requiring split payments, and social/micro-sellers without dedicated websites. Geographic scope is Brazil-domestic.
