# How it works

> Connect Conekta in Brain Studio and collect payments in Mexico via embedded WebView checkout.

Conekta lets you start payments from a conversational flow using its **embedded WebView checkout**.

Brain Studio initiates the payment step and exposes the **transaction result** so your flow can continue based on the status received.

## Integration overview

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Installation">
    * Can be connected from **Marketplace**, **Jelou Agent**, the **Payments** node in Canvas, or compatible templates
    * Requires an **active Conekta account**
    * Requires **[Conekta public key and private key](/en/guides/integraciones/pagos/proveedores/conekta/obtener-credenciales)**
    * During connection you must define the **VAT rate** the integration will use

    <Warning>
      For the WebView to work inside WhatsApp, the account must be **WhatsApp Business verified**.

      If it is not verified, the checkout will open in the device's external browser.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Experience">
    * **Embedded WebView:** Yes
    * **Native in chat:** No
    * **External confirmation:** No
