                "date": "2021-01-04T16:54:32-03:00",

        "discount": {
            "type": "DISCOUNT_PERCENT",
            "value": 0
        }
    },
    "1E5A8F8D35D34938A12281BD45C62DBE": {
        "code": "1E5A8F8D35D34938A12281BD45C62DBE",
        "status": 1,
        "amount": 3.00,
        "grossAmount": 0,
        "lastEventDate": "2021-01-04T16:54:33-03:00",
        "schedulingDate": "2021-02-04T05:54:31-03:00",
        "transactions": [],
        "discount": {
            "type": "DISCOUNT_PERCENT",
            "value": 0
        }
    }
}

}

I´m trying use one Class for make this, but the elements of "paymentOrders" are variables. How is the best way for do this? I need create a object to manipulate these values.

paymentOrders would be a Dictionary where SomeObject represents the object with all the properties like code, status etc

You can use Dictionary (or even Dictionary in your case, based on provided sample) to represent dynamic property names for paymentOrders json object. Something like this should do the trick:

public class Root    {
    // your dynamic prop
    public Dictionary paymentOrders { get; set; } 
    public DateTime date { get; set; } 
    // ... the rest o properties
}

public class PaymentOrder    {
    public string code { get; set; } 
    public int status { get; set; } 
    // ... the rest o properties
}
