Everything You Need to Know Before Starting

What payment methods do most Brazilians prefer online?

Pix leads by a wide margin, followed by boleto bancário and installment-based credit card payments through local processors.

Pix settles instantly and requires no card details, making it the default choice for a large share of Brazilian shoppers.

Most merchants have Pix and boleto running within about a week, provided documentation and business details are submitted early.

Is a Brazilian entity required to accept these payment methods?

Not always. Many merchants accept Brazilian payments through cross-border setups without registering a local company.

Yes. Recurring Pix authorizations and card-based mandates both support automated subscription and installment billing.
