How to create a PixGo checkout link and share it

You need to charge someone via PIX and want a practical link to share. PixGo has 3 different paths, each for a scenario. This guide shows when to use each, step-by-step creation, and how to share on social without losing sales.

Path 1 — Standalone QR (fastest)

1. Go to /depix
2. Configure and validate the receiving wallet in My Profile (with your account already validated by PixGo after sign-up)
3. Enter amount (e.g., R$ 150; minimum R$ 10)
4. Tap Continue and enter the CPF or CNPJ of who will pay — the customer pays from the account of that same document (if they pay from another, the amount is refunded)
5. Tap Charge
6. The Pay with Pix window opens: QR Code + Pix Copy and Paste code (valid for 20 min)

When to use standalone QR

• Closed 1-on-1 sale (customer decided)
• Quick charge via DM/chat
• Don't need branded page
• Single amount, won't change

Path 2 — My Store (permanent link)

1. Go to /minha-loja
2. First time (one-off): My Store is not enabled by default — it needs a registered company (without one, it takes you to My Company → Register Company) and an active PixGo Key (API Keys menu → Request access)
3. Click Create New Checkout
4. Set type:
   • Fixed Value: customer pays exactly R$X
   • Open Value: customer picks (ideal for donations, tips)
5. Fill in the Product/Service Details and add Images (up to 5); shipping lives in Store Settings (Shipping tab) and coupons in each checkout's Coupon button (optional)
6. Click Create Checkout — get link pixgo.org/pay/PRODUCT_CODE

When to use My Store

• Scalable sales (multiple payers)
• Want brand/logo on checkout
• Continuous product/service
• Need images/description
• Want coupons/shipping configured
• Auto email recovery (abandoned cart)

Path 3 — API v1 (programmatic)

1. Request the PixGo Key in the API Keys menu (pixgo.org/api-keys) → Request access
2. POST to https://pixgo.org/api/v1/payment/create with your key in the X-API-Key header
3. Receive the copy-paste code (qr_code), the QR image (qr_image_url), the payment_id and expires_at
4. Present to customer however you want

curl -X POST https://pixgo.org/api/v1/payment/create \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "amount": 197.00,
    "description": "JS Course — Mary",
    "receiver_cpf": "12345678901",
    "external_id": "order_123"
  }'

Comparison

FAQ checkout link

Can I have more than one My Store link?

YES. As many as you want. Each product/offer a different link. List them all in My Store → Manage Checkouts.

Can I deactivate a link without deleting?

Yes. In Manage Checkouts, click Deactivate; the link stops opening until you reactivate it.

Does the permanent link ever expire?

NO. As long as your PixGo account is active.

Can a customer pay more than once on same link?

Yes. Each payment generates a new DEPIX QR.

Product limit in My Store?

No numeric limit, but UI gets heavy above 100. For huge catalog, use e-commerce platform + API.

How to see who paid each link?

In the My Store tabs (Virtual Store, Link Checkouts, Fixed QR Codes, Manual QR Codes).

Does link work in other countries?

Checkout works anywhere (can open). But only Brazilian CPF can PAY via PIX. For international customers, use Liquid Wallet endpoint (receives USDT directly).

Practical summary

• 3 paths: standalone QR (fast, 1 use), My Store (permanent, branded), API (automation)
• Standalone for 1-on-1, /depix → generate → send QR in chat
• My Store for scale, link pixgo.org/pay/PRODUCT_CODE in bio/ads/site
• API for ERP/bot/virtual store integration
• CLEAR description, warn about the receipt name, check the limits for high amounts
• Automatic Cart Recovery in Store (track results at /funil-recovery)
