Pago Express

Pago Express is a popular method for paying bills and services in Paraguay, offering convenience and accessibility throughout the country. The customer needs to provide the payment code in a physical branch of Pago Express and complete the payment. Then, Pago Express notifies us, and we report to the merchant.
