Payments are processed through Stripe, which supports over 135 currencies.

As a result, all transactions made in other currencies will be converted to BRL before being settled in our Stripe account. This may result in currency conversion fees, depending on the payment method and location of the user.

By offering multi-currency support, we aim to provide a seamless and convenient experience for our global user base.
