At Dodom, we have long been working to make purchasing Agricultural, Logistics, and Construction materials online as reliable as buying over the counter. As part of that commitment, we have integrated Azul as a new payment gateway across the entire store. From today, every purchase you make on dodom.com is processed through the most established 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 Dominican Republic's leading payment gateway, used by the country's major retailers and banks. After evaluating the available alternatives, we chose Azul for three specific reasons:
- Local infrastructure: transactions are processed directly in the Dominican Republic, without foreign intermediaries.
- Banking-grade security: compliant with PCI DSS standards and uses 3D Secure authentication when required by your bank.
- Full compatibility: accepts cards issued by any bank in the country as well as international cards.
For you, this means a payment process that is already familiar, because it is the same one you use every day at other Dominican retailers.
What changes for you at checkout
The shopping experience remains the same, but with three concrete improvements:
No currency conversions or exchange rate surcharges.
Your order enters preparation the moment Azul approves the transaction.
Additional authentication directly with your issuing bank when the transaction 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 leading banks.
- Corporate cards for B2B accounts.
If you are a professional buyer managing recurring orders for your construction site, farm, or warehouse, always use the same corporate card when paying. Azul learns your usage pattern and reduces additional verifications on future purchases.
Frequently asked questions
Are my card details stored by Dodom?
No. Your card details are sent 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 the conversion is applied by your issuing bank at the day's exchange rate.
What do I do if my bank requests additional verification?
This is the 3D Secure protocol, a standard security layer. Your bank will send you a code via SMS, email, or mobile app. Enter it when Azul prompts you and the purchase is completed instantly.
