PIX Payments

PIX is a Brazilian payment method, officially launched by the local Central Bank, that enables immediate payment confirmation and 24/7 availability. The user can complete the payment using any Home Banking or Ewallet App, by copying and pasting a Transaction ID or scanning a QR code (see example in the next section).

PIX payments support a REDIRECT or DIRECT flow.

Redirect PIX Payment

In this flow, payment_method_flow is set to REDIRECT . The API returns a redirect_URL, which is used to redirect the user to a dLocal-hosted page (shown below). The user will be able to open any App that supports PIX (Home Banking and Ewallets) and decide whether to use the scan QR or the Transaction ID copy/paste option.

Using the REDIRECT method, the payment will have the PENDING status until the user confirms the payment, and dLocal gets notified (immediate after user confirmation).

Direct PIX Payment

PIX payments are available via our Direct APMs solution (payment_method_flow = DIRECT). The important parameters are returned via API, so the merchant can build their own PIX UI.

Using the DIRECT method, the payment will have the PENDING status until the user confirms the payment, and dLocal gets notified (immediate after user confirmation).
