Presentations
For global businesses, Latin America represents both scale and complexity. Rapid digital adoption, diverse consumer behaviors, and strong local payment ecosystems mean that success in the region looks different from other markets. In this session, dLocal and Microsoft share a high-level, global merchant perspective on how LATAM fits into worldwide expansion strategies and what makes the region unique from a payments and commerce standpoint.
What the session will cover:
LATAM’s role in global digital commerce growth
How payment preferences vary across the region and why that matters for global platforms
The impact of local infrastructure, regulation, and inclusion on payment adoption
Key opportunities for those thinking about expanding
Common challenges global merchants face when scaling in the region
Strategic considerations for building resilient, region-aware payment strategies
