Freelance Ecommerce Developer in Brazil

Freelance ecommerce developer for Brazil: online stores with local payments and fast checkout. Planned for the LGPD, local payments and your time zone.

Overview

Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom stacks — product catalogues, local payment gateways, shipping rules, marketplace sync and fast checkout. Projects for Brazil run remotely, with a daily call window agreed for your city's time zone. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Brazil-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Brazil have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

Payment methods customers in Brazil expect: Pix, Boleto, Mercado Pago, PagBank (PagSeguro), Stripe and card instalments.
Marketplaces and platforms that can be connected: Mercado Livre, Shopee, Magazine Luiza and Amazon.com.br.
Shoppers expect Pix, boleto and card instalments (parcelamento) at checkout.
LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, Law 13,709/2018): The ANPD enforces the LGPD — you need a legal basis for each use of customer data and a named data officer (encarregado).

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
