# 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.

## Get started

You don’t have to integrate Boleto and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods) and enable Boleto. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

- [Checkout](https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart.md): Our pre-built, hosted checkout page.
- [Elements](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/quickstart-checkout-sessions.md): Our drop-in UI components.

### Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add Boleto from the Dashboard:

- [Invoicing](https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/no-code-guide.md)
- [Payment Links](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links.md)
- [Subscriptions](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview.md)

If your integration requires manually listing payment methods, learn how to [manually configure Boleto as a payment](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/boleto/accept-a-payment.md).

Check out the Boleto [sample on GitHub](https://github.com/stripe-samples/accept-a-payment).

## 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 R5.00 USD and no more than R49,999.99 USD.
