Pix: step-by-step to pay in Brazil 🇧🇷

With the belo app you can pay in Brazil the simplest, fastest and cheapest way thanks to our Pix integration ✅

You send Argentine pesos or crypto, and Brazilian merchants receive reais (BRL) in their account automatically 👌

No hassle, no extra fees.

It’s very simple — just follow these steps 👇

  1. Download the belo app and fund your account with Argentine pesos or crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH or SOL).

  2. Make sure the merchant accepts Pix — ask “Aceita Pix?” Most businesses in Brazil do (about 9 out of 10).

  3. Open the app and choose “Pay with Pix”. You can:

    • scan the QR code shown by the merchant, or

    • enter a Pix key manually (phone number, email, CPF/CNPJ or the random key).
      📌 If you use a phone number, remember to include the country code +55 for Brazil.

  4. Enter the amount in reais (R$) or check if the amount is correct, review the details and confirm the payment.

    Done — the payment is processed in seconds. 🚀

Important information about Pix payments on belo ❗

⚠️ Payments are final and cannot be canceled.

👀 If your payment shows as successful in your account but the merchant didn’t receive it, you can open a claim with the merchant using the Pix transaction ID shown on your receipt.

❌ Do not make a second payment — it will be debited again and you’ll need to sort a refund with the merchant.

🚨 Payments are credited to our provider’s account (not to your personal name). If the recipient asks for more info about the payment source, contact us via the app chat or by email at [email protected] 📧

💸 Minimum payment amount is R$5, and payments must be to external users (you cannot pay a QR generated by belo’s own receiving/collection feature). In that case, you can send money instantly and free via the recipient’s $belotag.

🕑 Most Pix payments via belo are instant (under 10 seconds).

If a payment takes longer, don’t worry — contact Support through the app’s Help chat or by email at [email protected] 📧
