These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to 3S LATAM - Scientific Software Shop Latin America, Inc..
What does a charge from “3S LATAM – Scientific Software Shop Latin America, Inc.” usually correspond to?
It most often corresponds to the purchase or renewal of scientific or technical software licenses (for example, statistical or data‑analysis tools like Stata or Minitab), training courses, or support services bought through SOFTWARE shop for use in Latin American institutions. These are frequently billed as international invoices in USD from the U.S. entity.([minsa.gob.pe](https://www.minsa.gob.pe/Recursos/OTRANS/03AdquisicionBS/Archivos/licenciamiento/2015/NI455-STATA.pdf?utm_source=openai))
Why is my university or organization seeing this charge instead of the software vendor’s name (e.g., Stata or Minitab)?
3S LATAM acts as an authorized regional distributor and reseller for various scientific software publishers in Latin America. As a result, the credit card or bank statement often shows the reseller’s legal name—3S LATAM – Scientific Software Shop Latin America, Inc.—rather than the underlying software brand, even though the product delivered is from that vendor.([minsa.gob.pe](https://www.minsa.gob.pe/Recursos/OTRANS/03AdquisicionBS/Archivos/licenciamiento/2015/NI455-STATA.pdf?utm_source=openai))
Could this charge be for an annual software subscription renewal?
Yes. Public procurement records show that universities and agencies frequently contract 12‑month academic licenses and annual renewals through 3S LATAM (for example, multi‑user Stata or Minitab subscriptions). If your institution has site or campus licenses, the charge may correspond to a scheduled renewal processed on the agreed billing date.([geco.ucr.ac.cr](https://geco.ucr.ac.cr/geco/ServletArchivosTramite?dt=315300252342291327315348303183147165144144156135147183315300249303297351303330297315291183150153153159144147183348315336333204333297183336300306183336303342315333300333183150144150156&utm_source=openai))
How can I verify what exactly was purchased from 3S LATAM?
Search your email and procurement system for recent quotes or invoices that reference “3S LATAM”, “Scientific SOFTWARE shop Latin America, Inc.”, or “SOFTWARE shop” and match the transaction amount and date. Invoices usually include product names, license counts, and term dates. If you still cannot match the charge, contact them via the forms or payment links on software-shop.com and provide the last four digits of the card, transaction date, and amount so they can look it up.([software-shop.com](https://software-shop.com/fob?utm_source=openai))
Does 3S LATAM place temporary authorization holds on cards?
Like many online merchants, they may place a temporary authorization hold when you pay an invoice via credit card through their payment portal to verify the card. This hold can appear as a pending charge under the 3S LATAM or Scientific Software Shop name and should drop off automatically if the transaction fails or is not captured. If a pending amount lingers longer than a few days, contact your bank and 3S LATAM’s billing team.([software-shop.com](https://software-shop.com/fob?utm_source=openai))
How do I request a refund or correction for a mistaken charge from 3S LATAM?
Start by locating the corresponding invoice or quote and confirming whether the software was delivered or activated. Then reach out to their billing/support contacts listed on the invoice or through software-shop.com, referencing the invoice number, transaction date, and amount. Explain whether you need a cancellation, downgrade, or billing correction; they can usually adjust future renewals or, where allowed by contract, process a partial or full refund.([software-shop.com](https://software-shop.com/fob?utm_source=openai))
Can I cancel or stop future renewals for software purchased via 3S LATAM?
Yes, but cancellations are governed by the terms on your original quote or contract. Many academic and institutional licenses are sold on annual terms; to avoid automatic renewal, you typically must notify 3S LATAM or SOFTWARE shop before the renewal date stated in the proposal or invoice. Contact them using the support or sales emails on software-shop.com and request non‑renewal or modification of your license well ahead of the renewal period.([software-shop.com](https://software-shop.com/fob?utm_source=openai))
What are typical amounts for charges from this merchant?
Amounts vary widely depending on the software and license model, but public orders from universities in Latin America show single transactions commonly ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of U.S. dollars for campus‑wide academic licenses and bundled training. Smaller organizations or individual licenses may see lower amounts, but it’s normal for institutional invoices from 3S LATAM to be in the high hundreds to multi‑thousand‑dollar range.([minsa.gob.pe](https://www.minsa.gob.pe/Recursos/OTRANS/03AdquisicionBS/Archivos/licenciamiento/2015/NI455-STATA.pdf?utm_source=openai))
