Payment page example Payment page example Payment page example

For PIX refunds, a connector can process the refund using the same PIX information the customer provided for the original payment.

However, this is only possible on the same day the PIX payment is confirmed.

If this time frame has passed, the connector will email the customer to request their bank information or PIX key in order to issue the refund.

  • PIX key can be a CPF/CNPJ (Tax ID, Entity ID), an email address, a phone number, or a randomly generated key consisting of up to 32 characters.
Pix payments are real-time transfers that expire after 1 hour, and any unpaid transactions are automatically cancelled.
