Advantages of PIX in e-commerce
The main impact of PIX on e-commerce is to transform the buying process into something more intuitive. Consumers make the purchase and payment is identified at the time by the seller who already speeds up the production, packaging and shipping of the product. Among the advantages of joining the PIX are:
Payment received on time
The customer makes the payment at any time of the day and, in seconds, the amount is already in the seller's account, which is an advantage for both sides, since the purchase is confirmed instantly, speeding up the production and shipment of the product.
Ease of ordering and delivery
Normally, shipment is only confirmed after proof of payment. With PIX, this process is simpler and faster, providing greater customer satisfaction.

According to a survey published by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) in early 2020, four out of ten Brazilians shop online and, it seems, people will continue shopping online even after the pandemic. With the PIX, consumers can shop online directly from their cell phones.
