Boleto payments
Learn how to accept payments with Boleto.
Boleto is an official (regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil) payment method in Brazil.
To complete a transaction, customers receive a voucher stating the amount to pay for services or goods. Customers then pay the boleto before its expiration date in one of several methods, including at authorised agencies or banks, ATMs, or online bank portals. You’ll receive payment confirmation after 1 business day, and funds will be available for payout 2 business days after payment confirmation.

Disputes
Generally Boleto payments can’t be disputed by the customer. However, in some instances irregularities similar to disputes (by the bank) can occur (for example, due to mishandling). In these cases, Stripe will need to contact you for next steps.
Refunds
Boleto payments can’t be refunded. You need to create a separate process to credit customers who require a refund.
Amount limits
The amount for a single Boleto must be at least R$5.00 and no more than R$49,999.99.
