Company profile
researched Aug 2026Lia (lia.com.br) is a São Paulo-based sales and payments platform aimed at Brazilian digital education businesses — infoproducers, online schools and postgraduate programs selling high-ticket courses. Its checkout accepts credit card, installment boleto and installment Pix, plus an "intelligent installment" option, and it advances receivables from installment boleto and Pix sales so merchants gain cash-flow predictability. Merchants set their own installment interest rates and retain that interest revenue.
Beyond the checkout, Lia takes over collections on installment plans, running an active dunning process staffed by its own team rather than automated messaging, with collection status and customer communications surfaced in a merchant dashboard. Additional features include automatic weekly payouts on Fridays with no withdrawal request or transfer fees, order bump for average-ticket uplift, cart recovery, and a "Conversão Máxima" fallback that routes a declined card purchase (for example, insufficient card limit) into intelligent installments or installment boleto/Pix. The platform runs automated AI-based risk and anti-fraud analysis on a 24/7 basis and offers native integrations with major LMS platforms plus an API and webhooks. Each partner is assigned a dedicated consultative account manager with direct WhatsApp support and periodic review meetings.
Business model
Lia operates a B2B platform used by digital-product merchants to process and collect payments; it provides the checkout, the advance of installment receivables and the collections operation for its partner merchants, who choose and keep the installment interest charged to end buyers.
Traction
The company reports more than 500 partners using the platform and a 95% CSAT score, and states it recovers up to 30% of abandoned carts.
