PIX and commerce: legal challenges and mandatory changes
Provisional Measure No. 1,288/2025 regulates the use of Pix in commerce, prohibiting the charging of additional fees for payments in this method and equating it to cash payments, in accordance with Law 13,455/2017. Therefore, the price charged via Pix must be equal to or lower than the price charged in cash, ensuring greater consumer protection and transparency in commercial transactions.
Companies must adjust their pricing and billing systems to comply with the new rules, avoiding fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage. The provisional measure is effective immediately but still requires approval by the National Congress and may undergo changes during the legislative process.
