FAQ

Do I need a business registration (CNPJ) to use Depix?

Not necessarily. Depix works for both CPF (self-employed/MEI) and CNPJ. Check specific requirements at depix.site.

Does the plugin have a monthly fee?

No. The plugin is free. You pay only transaction fees according to the plan contracted at depix.site.

What is the transaction fee for PIX?

Fees vary by plan. Check the pricing page at depix.site for current rates.

Is PIX released immediately?

It depends on your contracted plan:
* Base Plan: D+2 settlement (48 business hours)
* Premium Plans: Faster settlement available

Important: After settlement in DEPIX, there is no chargeback. The transaction is technically irreversible, offering greater security compared to credit cards.

Does it work with the Brazilian Market plugin?

Yes! The plugin automatically detects Brazilian Market on WooCommerce and uses existing CPF/CNPJ fields.

Does it support WooCommerce Blocks (new checkout)?

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce Checkout Blocks.

Do I need an SSL certificate?

Yes. For security reasons, HTTPS is mandatory for the store.

How does payment detection work?

The plugin uses two simultaneous methods:
1. Webhook – Instant notification from Depix API when payment is confirmed
2. Polling – Periodic verification every 30 seconds as backup

This ensures that even if the webhook fails, payment will be detected.

Can I customize the order status after payment?

Yes. In settings you can choose between: Processing, Completed or On-hold.

Is there chargeback risk?

No. Once PIX payment is settled in DEPIX, the transaction is irreversible. Unlike credit cards, there is no payment dispute after settlement. This offers greater security and predictability for merchants.

Does the plugin store sensitive data?

No. The plugin does not permanently store CPF/CNPJ, only uses it temporarily to generate the PIX QR Code. API credentials are stored encrypted in the WordPress database.

Where do I get the credentials (Store ID, JWT, etc)?

After creating your account at depix.site, you will receive all necessary credentials in the administration panel.
