Brazil / Pix with Biometrics
Support Pix transactions with built-in biometric verification through dLocal.
What is Pix with Biometrics?
Pix with Biometrics (official name: Jornada sem Redirecionamento) allows customers to securely link their identity to Pix payments using biometric authentication (face or fingerprint). After completing a one-time enrollment, users can approve future Pix payments instantly, using only their device’s biometric verification, no banking app redirects required.
How it works
From the user's perspective, the flow works as follows:
- User selects Pix with Biometrics at checkout.
- User chooses their bank for enrollment.
- Merchant redirects user (or triggers SDK) to begin the enrollment process.
- User approves the enrollment within their bank's app.
- User completes a biometric challenge (face or fingerprint verification).
- Enrollment is successfully completed.
- Future Pix payments can now be confirmed with a simple biometric challenge, no redirections required.
Launching flow
Pix with Biometrics maintains the same core functionality and authorization journey regardless of implementation method.
The key difference lies in how merchants choose to initiate the flow after receiving the redirect_url from dLocal's API (obtained during either the enrollment process or payment creation).
Flow launch options
| Flow | How it works | Implementation level | User experience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redirect experience | Merchant opens the redirect_url in an external browser or WebView. | Low effort | Hosted experience outside the app; dLocal handles all screens. |
| Embedded SDK | Merchant passes the same redirect_url to the Mobile SDK to launch the flow natively inside the app. | Moderate effort (SDK required) | Fully in-app native experience with an optional event listener. |
Comparison of flow options
