# How it works

> Connect Kushki in Brain Studio and collect payments in Latin America via WebView checkout.

Kushki lets you start collections 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 Kushki account**
    * Requires **[public key, private key, webhook signature, and Merchant ID](/en/guides/integraciones/pagos/proveedores/kushki/obtener-credenciales)**
    * During connection you must define the **applied VAT** and **collection currency**

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

      If it is not verified, checkout will open in the device's external browser.
