Gr4vy, a cloud-based payment orchestration platform, this week announced support for Pix Automático in Brazil through its integration with dLocal, a cross-border payment platform. It allows merchants to offer automated Pix billing for subscriptions, memberships, and other recurring services.
Pix has helped bring more than 70 million Brazilians into the financial system and accounted for 42% of e-commerce transactions in the country last year, surpassing credit cards. Despite its widespread adoption, Pix has primarily supported one-time transactions, requiring customers to approve each payment manually. Now, through Gr4vy’s integration with dLocal, merchants can enable Pix Automático within their payment orchestration environment, combining the speed and adoption of Pix with the convenience of subscription billing.
Once enabled, Pix Automático follows the same flow as other recurring payment methods. After a one-time authorization through the customer’s banking app, via QR code or redirect, future payments are processed automatically. This allows merchants to support subscriptions and other recurring services in Brazil without requiring repeated customer action.
Merchants can initiate and manage Pix Automático mandates within Gr4vy, with full visibility into mandates, payment performance, and recurring transactions, all managed within their existing orchestrated payment stack.
Brazil remains one of the most dynamic payment markets globally, with Pix playing a central role in everyday commerce. With the introduction of Pix Automático through Gr4vy’s dLocal connector, merchants can now extend Pix beyond one-time payments and support subscription and recurring billing models aligned with local payment preferences.
