Sell your courses in BRL with Mercado Pago.
Brazilian buyers expect Pix, boleto, and installments — none of which Kajabi Payments or Stripe-direct give you. CheckoutJoy connects Mercado Pago to Kajabi, Thinkific, Kartra, and HighLevel so you can sell in reais with the methods Brazilians actually use.
Payment realities in Brazil
Brazilian e-commerce runs on Pix (instant bank transfer), boleto (cash voucher), and credit-card installments — not bare card payments in USD. Mercado Pago is the dominant local processor that supports all three. Native course platforms either don't offer BRL at all or route through international Stripe with no local methods, which kills conversion. The trade-off most merchants flag with Mercado Pago's checkout flow is the buyer-side mobile app experience.

Stripe Brazil exists but doesn't replace Mercado Pago for local methods. Use Stripe alongside Mercado Pago to cover international buyers who pay in USD with foreign cards, while Mercado Pago handles local BRL volume.
