How Adyen handles Pix

Adyen returns the Pix QR code, and Payrails turns it into a redirect to a Payrails-hosted page that shows the code to the customer.
The payment stays pending until the customer pays. Payrails completes it when Adyen sends the authorization notification.
Adyen captures Pix payments automatically. When Adyen confirms the authorization, Payrails also records the capture, so the payment completes in one step.
To return funds, refund a completed Pix payment.
