What it does
Brazil's IN RFB nº 2.229/2024 requires CNPJ support for an alphanumeric format starting July 2026. Master Data now validates, stores, and processes the new format correctly, ensuring existing workflows that rely on CNPJ validation continue without disruption. In parallel, six VTEX marketplace connectors were updated to accept, process, and store alphanumeric CNPJs: ViaVarejo, SkyHub, Centauro, Magazine Luiza, Mercado Livre, and Amazon. Merchants operating through these channels can transact normally without integration failures. Both updates are automatic and fully backward compatible, and legacy numeric CNPJs continue to work with zero regressions.
Benefits
- Full compliance coverage: Both Master Data and the six major marketplace connectors are updated, ensuring alphanumeric CNPJs work across data storage and marketplace channel operations.
- No merchant action required: Both updates are applied automatically — no configuration, migration, or integration changes are needed.
- Zero disruption to existing operations: Legacy numeric CNPJs continue to work without any changes, and existing workflows in Master Data are unaffected.
How to use
No configuration is needed. Master Data and the six marketplace connectors (ViaVarejo, SkyHub, Centauro, Magazine Luiza, Mercado Livre, and Amazon) have been updated automatically to accept and validate the new alphanumeric CNPJ format. Merchants operating in Brazil benefit from both updates without any changes to their setup.
