4.5. Receiving the webhook

You need to login to the PagBrasil Dashboard and specify the URL you want PagBrasil to send the webhook. By default we only allow outgoing connections to HTTPS URLs at standard port 443. If you plan to use a different port number in the webhook's URL please contact us requesting an exception.

Notes:

a) All fields are required except when noted otherwise.

b) If a parameter is sent with a size greater than the maximum allowed, process will not be aborted but the value will be truncated.

c) If the payee is an individual ("pessoa física"), you need to ask for their full name and CPF (see note "d"). If they are a company ("pessoa jurídica"), you need to ask for the "razão social" (official company name registered at the local tax authority) and CNPJ (see note "d").

Due to validation security reasons, this field cannot be changed after insertion. In order to change this information you must delete the old payee and then add a new one.

d) There are two types of tax IDs in Brazil: CPF (used by individuals) and CNPJ (used by companies). You must validate the tax ID to prevent sending to PagBrasil invalid values. Please find below the format for each type of tax ID.

CPF: 11 digits, with no separator. Customers use to write CPFs with separators (example: 123.123.123-12), but you must allow to enter only digits from 0 to 9 (example: 12312312312).

CNPJ: 14 digits, with no separator. Companies use to write CNPJs with separators (example: 12.345.678/0001-23, but you must allow to enter only digits from 0 to 9 (example: 12345678000123).

Example of javascript to prevent other characters than digits:

onKeyPress='if (window.event.keyCode<48 || window.event.keyCode>57) event.returnValue = false;'

The last 2 digits of the CPF/CNPJ are check digits, and you will need to use them to validate the tax ID entered by the customer. You will find examples of CPF/CNPJ validation routines in different languages at the PagBrasil Dashboard, menu Resources. For testing purposes, please use CPF 91051605962 and CNPJ 78797547000157.

Due to validation security reasons, this field cannot be changed after insertion. In order to change this information you must delete the old payee and then add a new one.

e) Please find the bank numbers here (column "Número Código").

f) URL where the payee scanned documents are stored. These documents should be hosted in a safe storage that can be accessed by PagBrasil. The URL to access each document individually must be submitted along with the payee data.

g) After processing our webhook, your server needs to acknowledge that it has successfully received it by writing "Received successfully [timestamp]". If the webhook fails our system will e-mail your technical contact a warning notification (subject "Urgent: Error posting webhook"). If you activate the auto resend, our system will then try to resend failed webhook as follows:

The next 7 attempts will take place every 7 minutes.
The next 23 attempts will take place every 60 minutes. If the last attempt of sending the webhook fails, our system will e-mail another warning notification (subject "Urgent: Error posting webhook").

Please note that any webhook can be resent manually at any time at the PagBrasil Dashboard.

h) To authenticate the legitimacy of the webhook, you may check the parameter secret and/or the parameter signature, which is a HMAC-MD5 hash based on the values of all elements (except the secret) and a key defined at the PagBrasil Dashboard, menu Account > Settings. The HMAC-MD5 source string is the concatenation of all the elements that are present in the structure and its total length.

i) Response format is defined at the PagBrasil Dashboard. API's response format may be defined as XML or JSON, and the webhook may be sent as an XML, a JSON or a POST.

j) Official abbreviation for Brazilian states:
