dLocal, an award-winning fintech company that specializes in cross-border payments for emerging markets, announced it has partnered with Canadian e-commerce company Shopify to enable its SMB merchants to offer local payments methods in more than 19 currencies. Shopify develops computer software for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems.
