BNPL Fuse aims to simplify how merchants offer flexible payments by bringing together multiple BNPL providers under one platform. With a single API and contract, merchants can now reach over 500 million underbanked buyers across eight countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Many consumers in fast-growing economies lack access to credit cards or sufficient credit limits to complete purchases. This means that merchants see many abandoned carts and lost revenue. dLocal says not offering a BNPL option can lead to as much as 66% of potential conversions lost.
By introducing BNPL Fuse, dLocal is providing a much-needed bridge, helping consumers split payments affordably, while enabling merchants to grow sales, increase order values, and expand reach without the complexity of managing multiple payment integrations or local regulations.
“Merchants want to offer flexible payment options without dealing with complex integrations, compliance requirements, or credit exposure,” said Duncan Steblyna, SVP of Product at dLocal. “BNPL Fuse centralizes access to multiple BNPL providers through a single API and contract, enabling scalable payments that drive higher conversions, unlock revenue, and give buyers more ways to pay.”
BNPL Fuse acts as a single point of access to several regional BNPL players, such as Kueski, Pagaleve, Atome, Pareto, and Payflex, with more partners expected to join the network soon.
This unified approach means merchants no longer need to manage different integrations or negotiate separate contracts in each market. dLocal handles compliance, provider optimization and orchestration. This gives businesses a scalable, plug-and-play BNPL infrastructure tailored for emerging markets.
As adoption of BNPL rises, BNPL Fuse positions dLocal as a key enabler of financial inclusion and digital commerce growth.
As dLocal puts it:
“Why settle for just one BNPL when you can fuse them all?”
