OXXO - Payment method for Mexico

OXXO payment method is a voucher payment type offered in Mexico.
With vouchers, customers can make an online purchase, and complete the transaction in-person at authorized locations, like convenience stores. People in Mexico may prefer this method due to the absence of a bank account or credit card.

OXXO banking-like services are only available from local 6AM-10PM.

You will benefit from voucher payments if:

  • You run businesses with customers that do not have cards;
  • You run businesses with customers that do not have bank accounts;
  • Retailers with consumers in countries like Mexico, where card authorizations rates are low and offering a backup payment option improves conversion.

Voucher is not a good fit for you if:

  • You deliver goods immediately after checkout. Some customers may not complete payment and it can take one business day to receive a payment confirmation.
  • You need to issue refunds. OXXO does not allow for refunds to be issued, therefore if a refund is needed, other means of payment would need to be considered.

How do voucher payments work?

  1. Customers book online.
  2. At the checkout, they select OXXO as their payment method.
  3. Upon continuing, they receive a voucher, and it is sent via email.
  4. The voucher allows customers to pay in cash for their purchase at an OXXO store.
  5. Customers present the voucher to the cashier at an OXXO store to make the payment.
  6. Once the payment is successfully made at the OXXO store:
    • OXXO sends a confirmation to the payments platform.
    • This confirmation is typically received within one business day, but it may take longer depending on when OXXO processes the transaction.
    • The payment status will be displayed as "processing" until the payment is completed.
    • If the payment is not received, the transaction will reflect as "Expired."

7. They present their voucher (take out printed).

Vouchers expire if not paid

Voucher expires after 7 days. The voucher expires at 23:59 on the seventh day after the voucher was issued, if the customer does not visit an OXXO store and pay for the voucher. OXXO can be used for reservations under 7 days, but the reservation is not confirmed until the payment is completed.
