Cielo

Cielo is one of the largest Brazilian card acquirers and a publicly traded company (B3:CIEL3), originally formed as a joint venture between Banco Bradesco and Banco do Brasil. The company processes credit, debit, Pix, QR Code, and boleto transactions for hundreds of thousands of merchants across Brazil, providing both in-person acquiring through its family of Cielo Smart (formerly LIO) Android POS terminals and Tap on Phone, and online payment processing through its e-Commerce API, Checkout, Payment Links, and Braspag gateway. Cielo exposes a broad developer surface through developercielo.github.io and the newer docs.cielo.com.br portal, including APIs for sales, queries, tokenization, 3DS 2.2 authentication, Pix with mTLS, chargeback management, refunds, reconciliation (Conciliador), and merchant promotions, along with open-source SDKs in Python, PHP, Java, C#, Kotlin, Swift, and Dart published from the DeveloperCielo GitHub organization.

Use Cases

In-Person Card Acceptance

Brick-and-mortar merchants accept credit, debit, Pix, and contactless payments through Cielo Smart Android POS terminals (formerly LIO) with local, deep-link, or remote integration.

SoftPOS / Tap on Phone

Micro-entrepreneurs and field sales reps accept contactless card payments directly on their NFC-capable smartphones via Cielo Tap, without renting a dedicated POS device.

Online Card Acquiring

E-commerce platforms use the Cielo e-Commerce API (API 3.0) to authorize, capture, void, and tokenize card transactions on Visa, Mastercard, Elo, Amex, Hipercard, and more.

Hosted Checkout and Payment Links

Merchants with limited engineering capacity use Cielo Checkout or Payment Links to accept payments via shareable URLs on WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS without building a storefront.

Pix Charges and Refunds

Platforms generate immediate and recurring Pix charges, receive real-time settlement events via webhooks, and issue refunds through the Pix API with mTLS-secured access.

3DS 2.2 Authentication

Online merchants reduce chargeback exposure by routing card-not-present transactions through Cielo's Braspag MPI for liability-shifted authentication.

Dispute and Refund Management

Operations teams query, accept, refuse, and document chargebacks and process refunds in bulk via dedicated APIs with letter-generation and evidence-download endpoints.

Financial Reconciliation

Finance teams reconcile sales, fees, and settlement events using the Cielo Conciliador API (F360) to pull card and title installments, bank statements, and parameterised reports.

Recurring Payments and Tokenization

Subscription businesses save card-on-file via Cielo's tokenization endpoints and bill on a recurring schedule with Zero Auth validation between charges.

Merchant Promotion Distribution

Partner apps and fintechs surface enrolled merchant discounts to cardholders through the Cielo Promo API, retrieving promotion lists, establishment data, and cardholder transaction history.
