Example
Example: an English teacher in Florianópolis charging R$ 120 a lesson by Pix
Oliver Grant (fictitious) teaches English in Florianópolis. His students pay by Pix, so he wants a QR code to print and a copy-and-paste code to send by message, both already set to R$ 120,00, the price of a lesson. His Pix key is his mobile number, typed as (48) 99123-4567.
- Pix key (48) 99123-4567 is read as a mobile number and written into the code as +5548991234567, the form the payer’s bank looks up.
- Name Oliver Grant; city Florianópolis, which loses its accent: Florianopolis. Amount 120,00 or 120: both become 120.00.
- The copy-and-paste code is 129 characters and ends in its 4-character checksum, F372. At the default error correction, M, the QR code is 49 × 49 modules.
- Download the 1024 px PNG for the printed sign, and scan it with a bank app before printing to see the name and amount come up.
| Field in the code | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| 26 (Pix account) | br.gov.bcb.pix and +5548991234567 |
| 52 (category) | 0000 |
| 53 (currency) | 986, the Brazilian real |
| 54 (amount) | 120.00 |
| 58 (country) | BR |
| 59 (name) | Oliver Grant |
| 60 (city) | Florianopolis |
| 62 (transaction id) | *** (none) |
| 63 (checksum) | F372 |
A student who scans it sees Oliver Grant and R$ 120,00 filled in and only confirms. Without an amount the code is 119 characters and the student types the sum, better for a mix of lesson lengths. The message “Aula de inglês” would make it 147 characters, without the accent.
How it works
- Enter the Pix key: CPF, CNPJ, a mobile number with its area code, an e-mail or a random key.
- Enter the name and city the payer should see; accents are removed, as the Central Bank’s format asks.
- Add an amount to charge a fixed sum, or leave it empty so the payer types it.
- Download the PNG to print or send, or copy the copy-and-paste code beside it.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it work with every bank?
- Yes. It is the Banco Central do Brasil’s static BR Code, the same format bank apps make, and every app with Pix reads it. Test it with a small amount before printing.
- Can the same code be paid many times?
- Yes. A static code does not expire; with an amount in it, every payment through it is for that amount.
- Why is my key refused?
- CPF and CNPJ numbers carry check digits; with a wrong digit no code is drawn, so there is never a code that pays nobody. A mobile number needs its area code.
- I’m a foreigner living in Brazil. Can I receive Pix with this?
- Yes, if you have a Pix key registered at a Brazilian bank or payment account: the code only names the key, and the money goes to the account that key belongs to. Without a Brazilian account there is no key to put in it.
- Can my landline or a foreign phone number be the key?
- No. A phone key is a Brazilian mobile number: area code, then 9, then eight digits, written into the code as +55 and the digits. A landline such as (48) 3222-1234, or a number from another country, is refused. Use your CPF, e-mail or random key instead.
- Does the money go through Nouplo?
- No. The code only names the key; the payment goes straight from the payer’s bank to the account. The code is made in your browser and nothing you type is sent.
