Accessing the Limits page
Select Limits in the left sidebar to open the Transaction Limits page. Expand the What is a Limit? panel at the top for a quick refresher on how limits enforce spending thresholds.
Filtering limits
Use the filter bar at the top of the page to narrow results:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Search | Search by name or account ID |
| Status | All, Active, Inactive, Draft |
| Period | All Periods, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Custom, Per Transaction |
| Transaction Type | All Types, Card, PIX, Wire, Crypto, ACH, Internal |
Limit cards
Limits are displayed as a grid of cards rather than a table. Each card shows the limit name, type, currency, maximum amount, status, and any configured scopes.
Limit statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | The limit is being enforced on incoming transactions |
| Inactive | The limit exists but is not currently being enforced |
| Draft | The limit is being configured and is not yet active |
Limit actions
Use the actions menu on each limit card to perform the following operations:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Details | Open the limit detail sheet. The sheet is editable only when the limit is in Draft status |
| Delete | Permanently delete the limit (requires confirmation) |
| Activate | Move the limit to active status |
| Deactivate | Move the limit to inactive status |
| Move to Draft | Return the limit to draft status for editing. Only available when the limit is Inactive — deactivate an active limit first. |
Creating a new limit
Fill in the limit fields in the Create Limit sheet:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | A descriptive name for the limit (e.g., “Daily PIX Limit”) |
| Description | No | A text description of the limit’s purpose |
| Limit Type | Yes | The frequency of the limit: Daily (default), Weekly, Monthly, Custom, or Per Transaction |
| Currency | Yes | The currency for the limit amount: BRL (default), USD, or EUR |
| Max Amount | Yes | The maximum transaction amount. Enter the numeric value (e.g., 5000.00 for R$ 5,000.00). A currency symbol prefix is displayed based on the selected currency |
| Scopes | No | Optional scope restrictions (see Scope builder below) |
Editing a limit
Selecting Details opens the limit sheet. To make changes, the limit must be in Draft status — use Move to Draft first.
Scope builder
In the console, this section is labeled Scope and each entry is called a condition. The scope builder lets you restrict a limit to specific accounts, merchants, segments, or transaction types. You can add multiple conditions to a single limit.
| Scope | Input type | Validation |
|---|---|---|
| Account | UUID text input | Must be a valid UUID |
| Merchant | UUID text input | Must be a valid UUID |
| Segment | UUID text input | Must be a valid UUID |
| Portfolio | UUID text input | Must be a valid UUID |
| Transaction Type | Select dropdown | Card, PIX, Wire, Crypto, ACH, Internal |
| Sub Type | Free text input | Maximum 50 characters |
