REST API Boleto Bancário

Boleto Bancário, commonly referred to as Boleto, is one of the most widely used payment methods in Brazil. It allows customers to pay for purchases by generating a payment slip (boleto) which can be paid at banks, ATMs, post offices, lottery agents or online banking apps. Once paid, the confirmation is sent to the merchant, typically within 1 to 3 business days.

Boleto Bancário is a push-based, cash-like payment method and is preferred by customers without access to credit cards or those who prefer not to share card details online.
