Paying with PIX in Brazilian Reais
Updated 2026-06-05
PIX is the instant transfer system run by the Central Bank of Brazil and the most common way Brazilian customers pay on Viralefy. The checkout produces a QR code and a copy-paste string (Pix copia e cola) tied to a unique invoice; once your bank app confirms the transfer, the order moves into the queue automatically. Payments are quoted in BRL but the underlying order is recorded in USDT at the rate captured when the QR was created.
How the QR code works
When you reach the PIX step, the system generates a fresh QR code that encodes the receiving key, the exact amount in BRL, and an invoice identifier. Scanning the QR inside your bank app pre-fills all fields so you cannot accidentally send the wrong amount or to the wrong key. If you prefer, copy the long Pix copia e cola string and paste it into your bank app — the result is the same. The QR is one-shot: once paid, it cannot be reused.
Confirmation time
PIX is designed for instant settlement and most payments confirm in under 30 seconds. Some banks queue transfers in batches at off-peak hours, in which case the confirmation can take a few minutes; that is a quirk of the issuing bank, not our system. Once the bank reports the transfer to the PIX network, our payment processor pushes a webhook and the order page updates automatically. There is no need to send a screenshot of the receipt — we do not accept manual proofs.
Expiry and retry
Each QR code expires a few minutes after it is generated so the BRL/USDT rate does not drift. If you let it expire, refresh the checkout page and a new QR appears with the current rate. If you paid an expired QR by accident, support can either credit the order at the locked rate or refund the BRL through PIX to the originating account; either way, no funds are lost.
What appears on your statement
The PIX transfer shows up in your bank statement with the merchant name configured by our processor, plus the invoice identifier in the reference field. Keep the receipt: it is the cleanest record for accounting and for opening a ticket if the order does not progress. We do not charge a service fee on PIX; the amount you send is the amount we receive.
