How do I accept PIX and card payments for delivery?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
Connect a payment gateway to your own ordering page and customers can pay by PIX or card at checkout; the money lands in your own account, not a marketplace's. The gateway charges its own card fee — about 3.2%–3.5% on delivery apps — which goes to the gateway, not to the platform. With Menuthere it is 0% commission on the order, and you can also keep cash on delivery for free.
- Online payment on your own page means the customer pays by PIX or card before you cook, and the money settles in your own account.
- The gateway's processing fee (roughly 3.2%–3.5% on the big apps) is the gateway's, separate from any platform fee.
- PIX is Banco Central's instant payment; it is free for individuals, while a business tariff depends on your provider.
- Cash or payment on delivery stays free — you only add a gateway when you want online payment.
- Menuthere takes 0% commission on the order itself on every plan.
Get paid straight to your own account
Menuthere lets customers order and pay on your own page by PIX or card, with the money going straight to your account and 0% commission on the order. Prefer cash? Keep payment on delivery at no cost.
How does online payment work on my own ordering page?
You connect a payment gateway to your ordering page. The customer picks items, chooses PIX or card, and pays at checkout. The gateway processes the payment and settles it into your own bank account, minus its own card fee. The ordering platform does not touch the money and, with Menuthere, takes no commission on the order.
| Method | Fee | Where the money lands |
|---|---|---|
| PIX online | Depends on your provider; free for individuals | Your own account |
| Card online | Gateway card fee (~3.2%–3.5% on the big apps) | Your own account |
| Cash / card on delivery | None | Collected by you on delivery |
PIX or card online — which should I offer?
Offer both. PIX is Banco Central's instant payment and settles in seconds; it is free for individuals, while a business tariff depends on your payment provider. Card is familiar for larger orders and lets customers split or use credit. Offering PIX and card at checkout means fewer abandoned orders and fewer disputes than chasing a bank transfer by hand.
Does the money really land in my own account?
Yes. With your own gateway the payment settles into your own bank account on the gateway's schedule, not a marketplace's. The gateway keeps only its card fee; the platform keeps nothing extra. On Menuthere there is 0% commission on the order itself on every plan — the only cost is the gateway's fee and your plan.
Who this is a good fit for
- Restaurants, cafés and cloud kitchens that want customers to pay online by PIX or card before the food is made.
- Owners who want the money in their own account instead of waiting on a marketplace payout.
- Places happy to also keep cash or card on delivery for customers who prefer it.
Who this is not for
- Owners who only ever take cash on pickup and do not want to connect any gateway at all — you simply skip online payment.

No. Menuthere is 0% commission on the order on every plan. You only pay your payment gateway its card fee and your plan fee; the order value is yours.
Can I still take cash on delivery?
Yes. Cash or card on delivery stays free. You add a gateway only when you want customers to pay online by PIX or card before you cook.
