Integration · Mercury Mexico
Your startup runs on Mercury. Your Mexican spend needs a CFDI.
Mercury gives you the statement, not the CFDI you need to deduct in your Mexican entity. Snap the receipt and we recover the document, ready for your accounting in Mexico.
The tax trap
Mercury doesn't issue a CFDI. The SAT wants one anyway.
Mercury is a US bank: it gives you the statement, not the Mexican tax document. But every expense your team makes in Mexico, to deduct in your Mexican entity, needs its CFDI. And when the receipt is invoiced with generic data, the merchant usually issues the CFDI with the foreign tax ID XEXX010101000 and use S01, "no tax effect," which doesn't deduct or credit VAT. We recover the correct CFDI, with your Mexican tax details, so that local expense counts.
How it works
Your team pays for expenses in Mexico
With the Mercury card or whatever they use. Client meals, fuel, groceries, local software. Nothing changes in their day-to-day.
Snap the receipt from the app
Each person photographs their receipt. We do the work with the merchant: portal, tax ID, CFDI use and retries.
The CFDI arrives for your Mexican accounting
You get the XML and PDF for each expense, ready to reconcile against the Mercury transaction and deduct in your Mexican entity.
Who it's for
For the spender
You just snap a photo
Pay with Mercury as usual and photograph the receipt from your phone. You never open a portal or fight with the merchant: we recover the invoice.
For startup finance
Deduct in Mexico what you spend in Mexico
Every local expense arrives with its XML and PDF, ready to reconcile against the Mercury transaction. Close the month with the expense deductible in your Mexican entity.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this replace Mercury?
- No, it complements it. Mercury moves your startup's money; Fotofacturas recovers the CFDI for each Mexican expense so it deducts in your Mexican entity. Two distinct pieces of the same flow.
- How do I receive each expense's CFDI?
- We deliver the XML and PDF for each recovered invoice: download them from the app or receive them by email, ready for your accounting. For high-volume teams we can tailor the delivery.
- Do I have to switch banks or cards?
- No. We work with any card or bank, Mercury included. We're payment-method agnostic: we only close the Mexican CFDI gap.
- Does it work even if my startup is incorporated abroad?
- Yes. What matters is that the expense happens in Mexico and you deduct it in your Mexican entity. We recover the CFDI with your Mexican tax details so that local expense counts.
