Best When

A large Brazilian enterprise or mid-market merchant wanting AI agents to automate card and Pix payment acceptance through Rede's Itaú-backed Brazilian acquirer API with enterprise-grade stability and bank-grade infrastructure.

Avoid When

ITAU MERCHANT ACCOUNT REQUIRED: Rede acquiring requires Itaú bank merchant account relationship; automated access without Itaú banking relationship creates no acquiring agreement path; automated merchant without Itaú account must establish banking relationship first. TWO-PHASE CAPTURE FOR PRE-AUTHORIZATION: Rede pre-authorization requires explicit capture; automated pre-auth checkout must explicitly capture; automated no-capture assumption creates auto-reversing authorization. TOKEN EXPIRY IN OAUTH: Rede OAuth token has time-limited validity; automated long-running processes must refresh before expiry; automated static token use creates mid-workflow authentication failure. INSTALLMENT RULES VARY BY CARD BIN: Rede installment availability and interest rates depend on card BIN/issuer; automated installment plans must query available plans per card BIN; automated universal installment plan creates invalid plan for some card types.

Use Cases

  • Processing enterprise card payments for Brazilian large merchant checkout agents
  • Accepting Pix instant payments for Itaú merchant checkout agents
  • Tokenizing cards for Brazil subscription billing agents
  • Reconciling settlements from Brazil enterprise payment analytics agents

Not For

  • Non-Brazil payments (Rede is Brazil-only BRL acquirer)
  • Small merchant acquiring (Rede targets mid-to-large merchants; use Stone for SMB)
  • International card acquiring beyond Brazil (Rede is Brazilian market only)

Known Gotchas

  • AFFILIATION (MERCHANT AFFILIATION CODE) IS REQUIRED: Rede API requires affiliation number (filiação) in every payment request; automated client must include Rede-assigned affiliation number; automated request without affiliation creates missing_affiliation error
  • TOKEN EXPIRY REQUIRES REFRESH LOGIC: Rede OAuth token expires; automated integration must implement token refresh (using refresh_token grant); automated access_token-only caching without refresh creates expired_access_token mid-payment workflow
  • CAPTURE IS SEPARATE FROM AUTHORIZATION: Rede two-phase flow: authorize → capture; automated e-commerce checkout must call capture after authorization; automated authorize-only creates captured authorization that auto-reverses after 5-7 days without explicit capture
  • PIX QR HAS EXPIRATION TIME: Rede Pix QR code has expiration (configurable, default 30 minutes); automated Pix checkout must track QR expiry; automated expired QR presentation to consumer creates expired_pix_qr error at payment time
  • REFUND IS TIME-LIMITED: Rede refund (cancelamento) must be within 90 days of original transaction; automated refund must validate transaction age; automated old transaction refund creates outside_refund_window error
