PIX Validation Expert Skill

Overview

This skill ensures compliance with MutuaPIX's critical business rule: the user's login email MUST match their PIX key email for payment processing to work correctly.

Critical Business Rule

⚠️ EMAIL MATCHING REQUIREMENT:

• •User's login email (users.email) MUST be identical to PIX key email
• •PIX key type must be email
• •This is enforced for payment redemptions and donations

Why: PIX payment system uses email as unique identifier. Mismatched emails cause payment failures and user confusion.

Database Schema

Users Table (users)

-- Relevant columns
email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE  -- Login email
pix_key VARCHAR(255) NULLABLE       -- PIX key value
pix_key_type ENUM('cpf', 'cnpj', 'email', 'phone', 'random') NULLABLE

Validation Logic

Backend Middleware: CheckPixKey

File: backend/app/Http/Middleware/CheckPixKey.php

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    $user = $request->user();

    if (!$user->pix_key || !$user->pix_key_type) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'É necessário cadastrar uma chave Pix antes de realizar resgates.',
        ], 422);
    }

    return $next($request);
}

⚠️ MISSING VALIDATION: Current middleware only checks if PIX key exists, but does NOT validate email match!

Required Validation (Not Implemented Yet)

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    $user = $request->user();

    // 1. Check PIX key exists
    if (!$user->pix_key || !$user->pix_key_type) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'É necessário cadastrar uma chave Pix antes de realizar resgates.',
        ], 422);
    }

    // 2. NEW: Validate email match if PIX key type is email
    if ($user->pix_key_type === 'email' && $user->pix_key !== $user->email) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'A chave PIX email deve ser igual ao email de login da conta.',
            'details' => [
                'login_email' => $user->email,
                'pix_key_email' => $user->pix_key,
            ]
        ], 422);
    }

    return $next($request);
}

Routes Using PIX Validation

File: backend/routes/api/mutuapix.php

Routes that should enforce email matching:

• •/api/v1/redemptions - Point redemptions (requires PIX)
• •/api/v1/pix/* - PIX payment operations
• •/api/v1/donations - Donation creation

Frontend Validation

Registration Flow

Recommendation: During user registration, automatically set PIX key to match email:

// frontend/src/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsx
const handleRegister = async (data: RegisterFormData) => {
  const payload = {
    name: data.name,
    email: data.email,
    password: data.password,
    // AUTO-SET PIX key to match email
    pix_key: data.email,
    pix_key_type: 'email',
  };

  await authService.register(payload);
};

Profile Settings

Recommendation: Show warning if user tries to change PIX email to different value:

// frontend/src/components/user/PixSettings.tsx
const validatePixEmail = (pixEmail: string, loginEmail: string) => {
  if (pixEmail !== loginEmail) {
    return {
      valid: false,
      message: '⚠️ Atenção: Para garantir que você receba seus pagamentos, recomendamos usar o mesmo email da sua conta.',
      suggestion: `Use: ${loginEmail}`
    };
  }
  return { valid: true };
};

Testing Scenarios

Test Case 1: User Registration with Auto-PIX

# Expected: PIX key automatically set to email
POST /api/v1/register
{
  "name": "João Silva",
  "email": "joao@example.com",
  "password": "senha123"
}

# Backend should auto-create:
{
  "email": "joao@example.com",
  "pix_key": "joao@example.com",
  "pix_key_type": "email"
}

Test Case 2: Mismatched PIX Email

# Expected: Validation error
User: {
  "email": "joao@example.com",
  "pix_key": "joao.silva@gmail.com",
  "pix_key_type": "email"
}

POST /api/v1/redemptions
# Should return 422 with message about email mismatch

Test Case 3: CPF PIX Key (No Validation Needed)

# Expected: Success (CPF doesn't need email matching)
User: {
  "email": "joao@example.com",
  "pix_key": "123.456.789-00",
  "pix_key_type": "cpf"
}

POST /api/v1/redemptions
# Should proceed normally

Implementation Checklist

When working with PIX validation:

• • Check if user has PIX key configured
• • Validate PIX key type is one of: cpf, cnpj, email, phone, random
• • If PIX key type is email, verify it matches users.email
• • Show clear error messages when validation fails
• • Auto-populate PIX key with email during registration
• • Warn users in profile settings if changing to different email

Common Errors

Error: "Payment failed - email mismatch"

• •Cause: User's login email differs from PIX key email
• •Fix: Update PIX key to match login email or vice versa

Error: "É necessário cadastrar uma chave Pix"

• •Cause: User hasn't configured PIX key
• •Fix: Guide user to profile settings to add PIX key

Best Practices

1. •Auto-populate: Set PIX key = email during registration
2. •Validate early: Check email match before payment processing starts
3. •Clear messaging: Tell user exactly what email should be used
4. •Allow override: Let user use CPF/phone if they prefer (no matching needed)
5. •Audit trail: Log when PIX keys are changed
