# Overview
> Understand how the Yuno VTEX plugin works and the payment methods available for your store.
Yuno and VTEX have joined forces to simplify payment processes for merchants worldwide. By integrating Yuno's payment orchestration platform with VTEX's leading e-commerce solution, businesses gain access to a wide variety of payment methods, advanced security features, and a streamlined checkout experience that drives conversion.
With Yuno, your VTEX store can offer shoppers credit and debit cards, alternative payment methods such as Pix and Boleto Bancário, digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Click to Pay, and Buy Now, Pay Later options — all from a single integration. Yuno's orchestration layer handles the routing and processing behind the scenes, so you can scale across markets without rebuilding the payment stack each time.
Yuno is also PCI compliant, meeting rigorous security standards when handling card data, and the integration is designed to keep shoppers inside your VTEX checkout from start to finish. There are no redirects to external payment pages, which removes friction at the most sensitive point of the purchase journey and helps lift conversion.
## Payment methods available
Through Yuno, your VTEX store can accept payments across the following categories:
| Category | Examples |
| :----------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Credit cards** | Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners, Elo, Hipercard, Alelo, and other regional brands. |
| **Debit cards** | Visa Electron, Maestro, Mastercard Debit, Elo Débito, and other regional brands. |
| **Instant payments** | Pix (Brazil). |
| **Bank transfers** | PSE (Colombia) and other bank-transfer methods supported by Yuno. |
| **Digital wallets** | Apple Pay, Google Pay, Click to Pay, Nubank, PicPay, Mercado Pago, and other regional wallets. |
| **Cash vouchers** | Boleto Bancário (Brazil), Safetypay, PagoEfectivo, and other voucher methods supported by Yuno. |
| **Buy Now, Pay Later** | BNPL methods supported by Yuno. |
| **Generic Yuno methods** | Category-level methods (Yuno Card, Yuno Wallet, Yuno Bank Transfer, Yuno BNPL, Yuno Ticket, Yuno Payment Link). |
Which methods are actually offered to your shoppers depends on the methods you activate in the **VTEX dashboard** and the providers you have enabled in your **Yuno dashboard**.
## How the plugin works
The plugin is composed of three pieces that work together behind the scenes:
* **Yuno Payment Connector**: The component you configure in your VTEX dashboard. It handles the communication between VTEX and Yuno: authorizing transactions, capturing or refunding them, and reporting status back to VTEX.
* **Yuno Payment App**: Renders the Yuno checkout experience inside the VTEX checkout. When a shopper picks a payment method, the Payment App displays the right form (card form, Pix QR, wallet button) and submits the payment.
* **Yuno SDK Web for VTEX**: The library used by the Payment App to render the Yuno UI where the shopper enters their payment data.
You configure the **Payment Connector** in VTEX. The **Payment App** is installed afterward, and the **SDK Web** is loaded automatically during checkout — there is no separate setup for it.
