Best Practices
- See Shopper Journey
- Because shoppers can pay the OXXO voucher at a physical store, there is often a lag of multiple days between the order being placed and the order being paid. Remember to wait until payment is made before shipping any physical goods.
- If you cancel an order, it's best to reach out to the customer immediately and let them know. If you cancel an OXXO order while it's pending, the customer will not know it was canceled. As such, they may pay for that slip and wait for the order to arrive, but it never will.
- Once the customer can see the OXXO ticket, there is no way to cancel the order.
Technical Considerations
- Because shoppers can pay for the OXXO voucher at a physical store, there is often a lag of multiple days between the order being placed and the order being paid. Remember to wait until payment is made before shipping any physical goods.
- "Authorize" and "Capture" are irrelevant to the OXXO payment process. OXXOs can't be "Cancelled," either. They can either be paid or not paid.
- In this way, it is possible to cancel an offline order only if the shopper has not yet redirected through the Reach system to see the ticket. Once the customer sees the ticket, there is no way to cancel the order, as the customer may pay the voucher at any time.
- You may include either the RFC, or CURP, or IFE in the "NationalIdentifier" field as part of the consumer information.
- Mexican addresses must include a ZIP code, and use the abbreviation code for the state below:

Testing
- Because OXXO is an offline payment method, testing is a manual process. As you go through test transactions in Sandbox, contact support when you're ready for instructions on manually advancing the transaction to your desired stage.
- Contact the Reach support team to test expiration, and we can manually expire the order.
