How to Pay in Paraguay

Cash and WhatsApp rule daily life in Paraguay. Businesses routinely share their WhatsApp number instead of an email, and many shops expect payment by QR code or bank transfer. Download offline maps before heading outside Asunción, as connectivity drops sharply in rural areas.
