The partnership brings Pix Automático to Gr4vy’s payment orchestration platform, allowing merchants in Brazil to offer automated recurring payments.
San Mateo, CA — May 5, 2026 — Gr4vy, the cloud-based payment orchestration platform, today announced the support for Pix Automático in Brazil through their integration with dLocal, the leading cross-border payment platform connecting global merchants to emerging markets, enabling merchants to offer automated Pix billing for subscriptions, memberships, and other recurring services.
Pix has helped bring more than 70 million Brazilians into the financial system and accounted for 42% of e-commerce transactions in the country last year, surpassing credit cards. Despite its widespread adoption, Pix has primarily supported one-time transactions, requiring customers to approve each payment manually. Now, through Gr4vy’s integration with dLocal, merchants can enable Pix Automático within their payment orchestration environment, combining the speed and adoption of Pix with the convenience of subscription billing.
“Pix fundamentally changed how people pay in Brazil, and Pix Automático is the next logical step in its evolution,” said John Lunn, Founder and CEO of Gr4vy. “By partnering with dLocal to support recurring Pix payments, we’re giving merchants the ability to align subscription and recurring business models with the payment method Brazilian consumers already prefer. At the same time, they maintain full control of their payment strategy through Gr4vy’s orchestration platform.”
Once enabled, Pix Automático follows the same flow as other recurring payment methods. After a one-time authorization through the customer’s banking app, via QR code or redirect, future payments are processed automatically. This allows merchants to support subscriptions and other recurring services in Brazil without requiring repeated customer action.
Merchants can initiate and manage Pix Automático mandates within Gr4vy, with full visibility into mandates, payment performance, and recurring transactions, all managed within their existing orchestrated payment stack.
“At dLocal, we’ve been at the forefront of Pix since its inception, helping global merchants navigate Brazil’s uniquely advanced payment landscape,” said Horacio Raviolo, Head of Commercial Partnerships at dLocal. “By enabling Pix Automático for Gr4vy, we’re bringing our deep understanding of Pix flows, recurring payments, and local consumer behavior to their orchestration platform. This partnership allows merchants to offer automated, frictionless recurring payments while we continue to ensure that every new Pix capability is available at global scale. Pix is evolving fast, and with Gr4vy, we’re making sure merchants can evolve with it.”
Brazil remains one of the most dynamic payment markets globally, with Pix playing a central role in everyday commerce. With the introduction of Pix Automático through Gr4vy’s dLocal connector, merchants can now extend Pix beyond one-time payments and support subscription and recurring billing models aligned with local payment preferences.
