Cielo
Cielo is one of the largest Brazilian card acquirers and a publicly traded company (B3:CIEL3), originally formed as a joint venture between Banco Bradesco and Banco do Brasil.

Cielo exposes a broad developer surface through developercielo.github.io and the newer docs.cielo.com.br portal, including APIs for sales, queries, tokenization, 3DS 2.2 authentication, Pix with mTLS, chargeback management, refunds, reconciliation (Conciliador), and merchant promotions, along with open-source SDKs in Python, PHP, Java, C#, Kotlin, Swift, and Dart published from the DeveloperCielo GitHub organization.

Cielo 3DS 2.2 is an EMVCo-compliant cardholder authentication service exposed via the Braspag MPI endpoint. It
confirms that the buyer is the legitimate cardholder for card-not-present transactions on Visa, Mastercard, Elo, and
Amex. Integrators call POST /v2/auth/token for a bearer token, then submit transactions through POST /1/sales using
the ExternalAuthentication node (Cavv, Xid, ECI, Version, ReferenceID). Successfully authenticated transactions shift
chargeback liability to the issuer.
