The internationalization of Brazil’s instant payment system is creating a new market for Pix for international payments. Some models already integrate Pix into physical POS systems. This allows Brazilian tourists to pay in BRL with real-time currency conversion. However, many of these solutions operate in closed ecosystems. They often have limited integration options and restricted platforms.
In this context, epag developed PIX Turismo to solve these challenges. We designed PIX Turismo as an open and flexible model that integrates with payment orchestrators, addressing the needs of both consumers and merchants.
PIX Turismo: An Open Model for International Payments
Unlike other market models that often focus only on physical retail, PIX Turismo supports e-commerce, tourism, and digital services. Our solution offers global, multichannel usage across POS, computers, tablets, and mobile devices. In contrast, other systems are often limited to specific devices.
Open Architecture vs. Closed Systems
A key advantage of PIX Turismo is its open architecture. It allows for seamless integration with main orchestrator platforms. This is a significant improvement over other models, which are typically restricted to the provider’s own ecosystem. Furthermore, PIX Turismo does not require the merchant to have an account in Brazil. This open approach provides high operational flexibility, a key factor for businesses enabling Pix for international payments.
With PIX Turismo, the consumer pays in BRL, and we integrate the currency conversion into the payment journey. Our fees are competitive and vary depending on your volume and sector. This differs from other models where fees are often a fixed percentage. For all Pix systems, chargebacks do not exist, as Pix is a direct transfer.
The Future of Pix for International Payments
Accepting Pix payments from Brazilians abroad is no longer a vision for the future—it is a reality. Epag’s PIX Turismo model is among the first to offer this capability with scalability and technological neutrality.
