Does PixGo have a fixed QR Code? All about permanent QR and reusable link

"Does PixGo have a fixed QR Code?" — one of the most common questions in Naka chat. Direct answer: traditional static QR ("plaque-style") does NOT exist on PixGo. But there's something better: the My Store permanent link that works as a fixed QR in practice — with several advantages.

Why traditional static QR doesn't exist on PixGo

The static "plaque" QR Code stuck in bakeries, mini markets, and taxis has 3 traits:

• Same QR forever
• Customer types amount in their bank app
• Goes directly to recipient's PIX key (CPF, CNPJ, email, phone)

PixGo's flow is different. PIX becomes DEPIX 1:1 via PSP (parceiro de pagamento regulado). For this:

1. System pre-registers payment with amount + ID
2. The payment partner allocates an active payment_id
3. QR is dynamically generated with that ID
4. Customer pays, system matches payment with ID and issues DEPIX

Without pre-registered ID, no PIX → DEPIX bridge. That's why traditional static QR doesn't work here.

The solution: My Store permanent link

• Stable link: pixgo.org/pay/PRODUCT_CODE never changes
• Customer opens instantly: page appears with your brand, products, description
• Customer types amount (if variable) or just clicks pay (if fixed)
• Dynamic QR auto-generated per payment
• No payer limit: 1,000 people can use same link same day
• Automatic reset: each new customer gets fresh QR

"But I want to PRINT a QR for the wall"

You can! You print a QR Code of the LINK, not PIX itself:

1. Get your My Store link: pixgo.org/pay/PRODUCT_CODE
2. Generate the QR Code of that link from the product actions menu (Gerar QR Code) or with the PixGo QR code generator (free)
3. Customer points camera → opens link → sees your store → picks → pays PIX
4. Print QR on business card, banner, receipt, packaging

Works forever — won't expire, even after 1 year. Each scanner gets a new DEPIX QR automatically.

How to create your "fixed QR" via My Store

Scenario 1 — Charge OPEN amount (donation, tip)

1. Go to /minha-loja
2. First time only: My Store is not enabled by default — register the company (My Company → Register Company) and request the PixGo Key (API Keys menu → Request access)
3. Create New Checkout
4. Type: Open Value
5. Name: e.g., "Support my work"
6. Description: "Any amount welcome. Thanks!"
7. Add 1-2 images
8. Click Create Checkout — link ready
9. Generate the link QR Code from Gerar QR Code (product actions menu) or the PixGo generator
10. Print where you want

Scenario 2 — Charge FIXED amount (product, course)

1. Same flow, pick Fixed Value
2. Set amount: e.g., R$ 50
3. Name + images + description
4. Create Checkout → print QR of link

Scenario 3 — Charge MULTIPLE products in one store

1. Create ONE checkout per product, OR
2. Use 1 checkout with VARIATIONS
3. Customer scans main QR → goes to store → picks variation → pays

Real use cases

Physical store banner

Stick big QR on wall: "Buy via PIX → scan here". Counter customer picks product, goes to online store via QR, pays. No POS needed.

Business card / flyer

For coach, designer, freelancer: small QR + "I accept PIX". Customer scans, goes to your store ("1h Session R$200" / "Logo design R$500"), pays.

Product packaging

E-commerce: stick QR on package. Customer receives, likes, scans for more. 8-12% conversion on recurring sales via packaging QR.

Donation/tip for streamer/artist

Variable amount checkout "Support channel". QR in stream overlay, Instagram bio, email signature.

Influencer with bio link

Instagram bio link points to pixgo.org/pay/PRODUCT_CODE. Stories, posts, reels all call this single link.

FAQ Fixed QR Code PixGo

Will static QR launch at some point?

Not planned currently. The PIX → DEPIX flow nature requires pre-registered ID. For traditional static QR, you'd need bank account with direct PIX key. PixGo delivers other things (self-custody, DEPIX, My Store permanent link).

Does permanent link expire?

NO. As long as your PixGo account is active and checkout isn't deleted.

Can I have ONE QR for ALL products?

YES. Create main checkout "Maria Store" with variations (each product a variation), OR multiple checkouts and use a "showcase" external link.

Will my printed QR work 5 years from now?

Yes, provided: (a) PixGo account active; (b) checkout NOT deleted; (c) QR Code generator algorithm doesn't change (won't, universal standard).

Can customer accidentally pay with credit card?

No. QR goes to PixGo link → customer sees page with "Pay via PIX" button. No card option.

Can I disable temporarily without losing the link?

Yes. My Store → checkout → "Deactivate". Scanner sees "Temporarily closed". Reactivate anytime.

How to know WHICH CUSTOMER paid via each physical QR?

Use SEPARATE checkouts per physical location. E.g., "QR Table 1" / "QR Table 2" / "QR Window Banner". Each has its own link and separate report.

Can I create donation QR with suggested amount?

Yes. In variable amount checkout, in description put "Suggested values: R$5, R$25, R$50". Customer reads and types whatever.

Practical summary

• Traditional "plaque-style" static QR DOES NOT exist on PixGo (different PIX→DEPIX flow)
• My Store permanent link replaces with advantages (brand, description, recovery)
• Create checkout → generate the link QR (dashboard or PixGo generator) → print anywhere
• Customer scans → opens page → picks amount → pays PIX → you receive DEPIX
• No payer limit / no link expiration
• Use cases: physical banner, business card, packaging, donation, Instagram bio
• For separate dashboard per location: create checkout for each
