At Dodom we have been working for some time to make buying Growing, Logistics and Construction materials online as reliable as buying them at the counter. As part of that commitment, we have integrated Azul as the new payment gateway across the entire store. From today, every purchase you make on dodom.com is processed on the most consolidated financial infrastructure in the Dominican Republic.
Faster checkout, local and international cards and the security standards you already know from Dominican banks.
What Azul is and why we chose it
Azul is the leading Dominican payment gateway, used by the country's main businesses and banks. After evaluating the available alternatives, we chose Azul for three specific reasons:
- Local infrastructure: transactions are processed directly in the Dominican Republic, with no foreign intermediaries.
- Banking-grade security: compliant with PCI DSS standards and uses 3D Secure authentication when your bank requires it.
- Full compatibility: accepts cards issued by any bank in the country, as well as international cards.
For you, this means a payment process that already feels familiar, because it is the same one you use day to day with other Dominican merchants.
What changes for you at checkout
The shopping experience remains the same, but with three concrete improvements:
No currency conversion or exchange-rate surcharges.
Your order enters preparation the moment Azul approves the operation.
Extra authentication straight from your issuing bank when the operation requires it.
Accepted payment methods
With the Azul integration, on dodom.com you can pay with:
- Visa and Mastercard cards, issued by any Dominican or international bank.
- Debit and credit cards from the country's main banks.
- Corporate cards for B2B accounts.
If you are a professional buyer and manage recurring orders for your construction site, farm or warehouse, always use the same corporate card when paying. Azul learns the usage pattern and reduces additional validations on future purchases.
Frequently asked questions
Are my card details saved at Dodom?
No. Your card details go directly to Azul and are never stored on Dodom's servers. We only receive confirmation that the transaction was approved.
Can I pay with a card issued outside the Dominican Republic?
Yes. Azul accepts international Visa and Mastercard cards. The charge is made in Dominican pesos and your issuing bank applies the conversion at the day's exchange rate.
What do I do if my bank asks me for additional verification?
That is the 3D Secure protocol, a standard security layer. Your bank will send you a code by SMS, email or mobile app. Enter it when Azul asks for it and the purchase completes instantly.
