What the last check found

No country or currency is recorded for this listing. A check on 2026-10-21 found the coverage it previously carried was not stated by any source — most often it had been inferred from where the company is regulated, or taken from one feature of a much larger set. Where the write-up below refers to a recorded country or currency, this line is the correction.

IDENTITY (confirmed). Carulla is unambiguously the Colombian supermarket chain, a banner of Almacenes Éxito S.A.

Carulla is a Colombian supermarket chain — a retail banner of Almacenes Éxito S.A. (NIT 890900608-9), confirmed by the trademark notice in its own site's footer. As a payment method it exists in exactly one place: Nuvei's marketing APM directory, where /apm/carulla is filed under category "Cash Payment", country Colombia, currency COP, and described as "a Colombian supermarket chain that provides a cash payment option for online purchases", where "customers select Carulla at checkout and complete their transaction by paying in cash at a nearby Carulla store." That page states the country and the currency, so those two rows stand on a real source.

Everything else argues for caution. Nuvei's own developer documentation never mentions Carulla: its Latin America guides cover Bre-B, Daviplata, Efecty, Nequi, PSE and QR Redeban, and its authoritative "APMs per currency and country" spreadsheet (dated 5 Jan 2026, linked from the APM countries-and-currencies page) contains no Carulla string at all. The Colombian entries there are apmgw_Efecty, apmgw_Nequi, apmgw_NEQUI_CO, apmgw_Daviplata, apmgw_PSE (plus PSE_PZ and PSE_WPLAY), apmgw_QR_Redeban, apmgw_Bancolombia and apmgw_Colombia_Payouts. There is no payment-method code an integrator could build against. Nuvei's comparable cash rail, Efecty, is documented as apmgw_Efecty, COP and USD, payouts supported, refunds and recurring explicitly not — and it names only a generic "physical location", no retailer.

No other gateway documents Carulla: not dLocal's or EBANX's Colombia pages, not PayRetailers' Colombia market page, and not Adyen, Stripe, Airwallex, Antom, Checkout.com or Rapyd. The likeliest reading is that Carulla is a store-counter collection point inside an aggregated Colombian cash network, not a method in its own right. Features are left empty: the Refunds/Recurring/Payout chips on Nuvei's page are platform-wide, not Carulla-specific.

Checked against Carulla’s own documentation on 21 October 2026. Coverage changes; confirm anything you are about to build on.
