PayU Latam Gateway Guide

PayU Latam fact sheet

Additional notes
For cvv less transactions, contact PayU LATAM gateway support to enable it on your account. Spreedly automatically sets processWithoutCvv2 flag based on cvv availability.
If you are using PayU LATAM in Chile, Panama, or Colombia, it’s important to note that PayU LATAM does not support the following API calls: authorize, capture, void, and verify. Affected customers should contact their PayU account manager for more advice and best practices if their transaction flow involves these API calls.
