# Charging by PIX

> PIX uses the same fields as the bank slip, and the difference only shows in what the student receives.

## What you will get

PIX accepted on your plan. Ticking **PIX** under the accepted payment methods
reveals the same four fields as the bank slip: number of instalments, due day,
late interest and late fee.

**The configuration is identical to the bank slip's.** What changes is what
reaches the student.

## What actually differs

| | Bank slip | PIX |
|---|---|---|
| How the plan is configured | Instalments + due day | The same |
| How the instalments are born | One a month, same day | The same |
| What the student receives | A slip with a barcode | A code to copy and paste |
| When payment is recognised | Within a business day | Within minutes |

PIX's practical advantage is the settlement: the system gets the notice almost
immediately and the instalment turns to paid on its own, with nobody checking
statements.

## Does splitting PIX make sense?

It does, and more often than you would think. It is not a bank instalment plan:
it is several charges, one a month, each with its own code. The student pays them
one at a time.

For an outright sale, use **1** as the number of instalments.

## Ticking both methods

Tick **Bank slip** and **PIX** on the same plan and the buyer chooses. Each
method keeps its own numbers — you can have 12× by slip and 1× by PIX on the same
plan, if the school wants to nudge people towards paying outright.

*On the "Livre escolha" row, the Boleto and PIX columns each show 6x dia 15, and the card column shows up to 12x. One plan, three methods.*

## Before you start

PIX only reaches the student if the school's payment account accepts PIX. If
yours is not connected yet, the plan can still be configured the same way — it is
the charge that will not go out.

## How you know it worked

> [certo]
> On the plans list, the **PIX** column stops showing a dash and starts showing
> the number of instalments and the due day. And when creating an enrolment, PIX
> appears among the payment methods.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **PIX does not show up when enrolling.** Check that the chosen plan really
> accepts PIX — the list of methods comes from the plan, not from settings.
>
> **You ticked PIX and the fields came out blank.** That is expected: each method
> has its own numbers, and none is copied from the bank slip.
>
> **The student says the code expired.** Each charge has its own validity. A
> second copy generates a new code.
