You can initiate Pix Automatico in two ways:
by scanning a QR code (or pasting a Pix copy-paste)
by approving a request from the merchant or recipient.

Approving a request from the merchant or recipient
When someone asks you to pay them, you'll see a notification on your home page to review the request.
Before you approve any recurring payments, you can set a spending limit. For example, if you set a limit of 30 BRL for a merchant's automatic Pix payments, any charge above 30 BRL will be automatically rejected.
