GestoPago

What GestoPago does

GestoPago (legal name Puntored) is a privately held Mexican financial services company that operates a B2B platform for the sale and distribution of electronic products and services. It enables businesses (empresas) and retail merchants (comercios) across Mexico to embed financial and non-financial services—prepaid airtime and internet (tiempo aire), bill and service payments, entertainment content (streaming, gaming, music), gift cards, and prepaid pins—into their own physical and digital channels. The company is headquartered in Mexico City, with a second office at the World Trade Center Mexico City, and reports over 19 years of operating experience in the Mexican market, processing what it claims are millions of transactions annually.

The core technology is an API-based platform that lets partner businesses connect via API to commercialize high-turnover products through their own channels. Notable components include an API Integration Suite, embedded-experience capabilities for apps and web portals with stated implementation in under 10 days, recurring-payment/direct-debit processing (domiciliaciones), and a marketplace for bulk purchase of gift cards and prepaid pins for loyalty, employee-benefit, and promotional programs. The company confirms a live API but discloses no SDK languages, documentation URLs, or public product pages.

The business model is transaction-fee based across all disclosed revenue streams—prepaid services, service payments, entertainment/prepaid pins, gift cards, and recurring-payment processing. Go-to-market is API-first and channel-driven: direct API integration for enterprise buyers, a partner network spanning financial institutions, digital wallets, retail chains, and web portals for national coverage, and an affiliation (afiliación) program for smaller merchants. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be quote-based for enterprise customers. Marketing is concentrated on top-of-funnel content (blog, news, email newsletter) and LinkedIn for B2B engagement.
