# How it works

> Connect Deuna in Brain Studio and collect payments in Ecuador via external confirmation from WhatsApp.

Deuna is an Ecuadorian payment provider you can connect in Brain Studio using your own enterprise account.

Brain Studio creates the payment intent and exposes the **real transaction status** so your flow can continue based on the result.
