What is Pix?

Pix was launched in 2020 by the Central Bank of Brazil as an alternative to traditional and often slow payment methods. In a short period of time, it became the standard for instant payments in Brazil. More than 150 million Brazilians now use Pix for person-to-person transfers, online purchases and even tax payments.

Pix werkt 24/7 en is beschikbaar via vrijwel alle Braziliaanse banken en neobanken. Betalingen worden verwerkt op basis van een QR-code, telefoonnummer, e-mail of een uniek Pix-ID. Voor webshops die op Brazilië richten is Pix onmisbaar in de checkout.

How does Pix work as a payment method for online shops?

At checkout, the customer selects Pix, after which a QR code appears or a unique Pix code is generated. The customer then pays via their banking app or digital wallet. The payment is confirmed within seconds. For businesses, this means immediate payment, no chargebacks (disputes resulting from fraud) and real-time insight into the status of the transaction. This is a major advantage, especially for digital products or fast delivery.

How much does a payment via Pix cost?

Pix is designed as an accessible payment method with relatively low costs compared to payment methods such as MasterCard, VISA and Klarna. You usually pay 0.5% to 1.5% per transaction, depending on the Payment Service Provider and volume.
