CNPJ for B2B Payments: epag Enhances Brazil Transactions

For companies selling in Brazil, streamlining the transaction process is essential for growth. A common challenge has been managing business purchases, which require a different identifier than individual sales. To solve this, epag has enhanced our infrastructure to specifically support CNPJ for B2B payments, making the entire process more efficient.

This announcement details our new feature that allows corporate customers to use their company tax ID for credit card payments, a critical update for the Brazilian B2B market.

A Seamless Checkout for Corporate Customers

In Brazil, individuals use a CPF number for identification. However, companies use their own unique identifier, the CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica). We are pleased to announce that your customers can now choose between CPF and CNPJ when paying with a credit card.

We designed this critical update to optimize the payment journey for businesses. As a result, it creates a smoother, faster, and more accurate flow. This new process correctly matches the ID to the right user type, which is a small upgrade with a big impact, especially for B2B transactions.

Direct Benefits of Using CNPJ for B2B Payments

This enhancement delivers immediate value, especially for companies relying on CNPJ for B2B payments. Furthermore, it requires no additional effort from your team.

Key advantages include:

It works automatically in our hosted checkout.
You need no additional integration on your part.
It reduces input errors and directly boosts approval rates.

Future-Proofing Your CNPJ Payments

Our commitment includes monitoring the regulatory landscape to keep your business ahead. The Brazilian government plans to update the CNPJ format in July 2026, which will introduce alphanumeric characters. To ensure total continuity, you should be advised that both the current and future formats will coexist indefinitely. This guarantees your payment processing remains uninterrupted and fully compatible across all systems. You can find more information about the change on the official government portal.
