Update Payee

About this guide

This guide quickly demonstrates how to update a payee in EBANX. We will walk you through the basic steps to achieve this goal using your already existing Direct API integration.

How it works

To update a payee through EBANX Direct API, please follow the steps below.

  1. Make sure you have all the mandatory fields in your request

    There are a few key parameters you need to provide to update a payee. Check the table below for more details.

    FieldDescription
    integration_keyYour unique and secret integration key.
    payee_uuidPayee uuid received on create endpoint response
  2. Send your payout request to EBANX

    To update a Payee, you will use the /ws/payee/update endpoint.

    • The following example is a update of the payee's bank information:
    curl -X POST 'https://sandbox.ebanxpay.com/ws/payee/update' \
    -d 'integration_key=your_test_integration_key' \
    -d 'payee_uuid=11bfcdc3-f323-4dd1-becc-a75235857fed' \
    -d 'bank_name=104 Caixa Econômica' \
    -d 'bank_branch=3708' \
    -d 'bank_account=08251777-6' \
    -d 'account_type=C' \
    -d 'bank_details=001' \

    And a successful creation will return a JSON Object with type "success" and the payee UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) unique key which will allows you to update and/or consult payee.

    {
    "type": "success",
    "uuid": "11bfcdc3-f323-4dd1-becc-a75235857fed"
    }
    Basic information

    Note that the basic payee information such as name, document, document_type or email can not be updated.

    You can either update a payee document file:

    curl -X POST 'https://sandbox.ebanxpay.com/ws/payee/update' \
    -d 'integration_key=your_test_integration_key' \
    -d 'payee_uuid=11bfcdc3-f323-4dd1-becc-a75235857fed' \
    -F 'proof_of_identity=@path/to/local/file' \
    Payee as Company

    Note that you can update the shareholders informations from a payee.

    • The following example is a payee update request for new shareholder:
    curl -X POST 'https://sandbox.ebanxpay.com/ws/payee/update' \
    -d 'integration_key=your_test_integration_key' \
    -d 'payee_uuid=11bfcdc3-f323-4dd1-becc-a75235857fed' \
    -d 'shareholders[0][name]=Princess Leia' \
    -d 'shareholders[0][document]=58017604076' \
    -d 'shareholders[0][document_type]=cpf' \
    -d 'shareholders[0][email]=princess@leia.sw' \
    -d 'shareholders[0][ownership_percent]=50' \
