What you can build with Pagou
Pix collections
Create Pix transactions, display QR code data to buyers, refund eligible payments, and reconcile state.
Card payments
Use Payment Element for the recommended browser flow and the transactions API for backend orchestration.
Pix Out payouts
Send money to recipients, track transfer states, and cancel pending payouts when allowed.
Webhooks
Consume asynchronous payment and transfer events as your primary source of status truth.
Recommended architecture
The Pagou integration model
- Authenticate every API call using one standardized auth method.
- Create resources with a stable
external_reffrom your system. - Treat webhooks as the primary state update channel.
- Use
GETendpoints for reconciliation and operator tooling. - Keep v1 flows isolated behind the legacy archive unless you are maintaining an existing merchant.
