About Charges

We call the entire flow of issuing digital charges / payin as Payin solutions. Payin is the act of collecting funds from third parties and remitting them to the beneficiary. This dynamic happens, for example, whenever a purchase is made within Brazil and paid for in some e-commerce. WEpayment’s role in this flow is to facilitate the processing and management of these charges and, through a single platform, enable the issuance of digital charges via Boleto Bancário and Pix QR Code.

​
What You Can Do

In general, with our Payin product you can:
  • Create a single payin via Pix QR Code
  • Create a single payin via Boleto
  • Consult status of your payin’s
  • Make withdrawals from your wallet
  • Check your wallet balance
  • Filter, sort and export lists of processed charges
