Brazil has the largest ecommerce market in Latin America, a population of more than 210 million people, and one of the world's fastest-growing digital payment ecosystems. Millions of consumers buy online every day, creating a huge opportunity for international merchants.
Until recently, accepting local Brazilian payments was a major challenge for overseas businesses. Today, that is changing. With Brazil ecommerce PIX, international Shopify merchants can offer one of Brazil's most trusted payment methods without needing to establish a Brazilian company.
Whether you are a sole trader or an established business, selling to Brazil has never been more accessible.

One of the biggest changes in recent years is that businesses no longer need to be based in Brazil to offer PIX through supported payment providers.
Depending on your payment provider and business eligibility, merchants registered in many countries can now sell to Brazilian consumers while accepting PIX through Shopify.
This creates significant opportunities for international ecommerce brands looking to expand into Latin America without opening a Brazilian legal entity.
