The Guadalajara area, regarded as Mexico's second-largest metropolitan region, is home to a concentration of IT and startup companies earning it the nickname 'Mexico's Silicon Valley,' and online consumption there is highly active, yet a clear preference for cash payment persists at checkout. Kiosko is a convenience store chain that has expanded its stores across western states such as Jalisco and Colima, and its distinct strength versus nationwide chains is being a payment point located along local consumers' daily commute and school routes.

For gaming, content, and e-commerce merchants targeting young digital consumers in the Guadalajara area, Kiosko payment becomes a regionally optimized option. For services with a confirmed share of customers in the western region, it is effective to present it alongside nationwide convenience store channels as a complement.

A customer who selects Kiosko at the online checkout screen receives a barcode reference code and pays in cash at the checkout of a Kiosko store in the western region. The data is sent as soon as payment is collected, and the order is finalized after Hecto Financial confirms the deposit (typically within the same day to 1 business day). A code past its validity period cannot be used, and the corresponding order automatically expires.

Through Hecto Financial's integration, a Korean company can include the Kiosko payment option in its payment mix without a local contract in Mexico. Since convenience store collection depends on the composition of affiliated chains within the local collection agency network, actual availability, fees, and settlement terms are confirmed through pre-contract discussions.

• Business registration country

  Confirm contract eligibility for domestic (Korea-based) businesses

• Sales channels

  Integration method and priority vary depending on your online sales channel mix, such as owned storefronts, open marketplaces, or mobile apps

• Product categories handled

  Advance confirmation is needed on whether your business falls under a restricted category under Kiosko's merchant policy

• Local regulatory compliance

  Confirmation is needed on compliance with Mexico's payment and foreign exchange regulations (see official sources below)

Cash collected at Kiosko stores is received in MXN, converted by Hecto Financial, and then settled in whichever of USD, KRW, or JPY was selected under contract. The local currency is never paid directly to the merchant, and the settlement cycle is set by contract terms. Refunds are processed through a separate refund procedure rather than at the store.
