Brazil is the largest e-commerce market in Latin America, growing faster than most mature markets in North America and Europe. For international retailers, that's the opportunity — but succeeding there depends on two things most launch checklists underrate: real-world latency for Brazilian shoppers, and whether your data handling holds up under LGPD.
What the guide covers
- Brazil's network hubs — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, and João Pessoa, and why physical distance to them directly affects checkout conversion
- Dedicated vs. shared/cloud hosting for e-commerce specifically — isolated performance, NVMe storage for database-heavy catalogs, and hardware-level DDoS protection
- LGPD in practice — lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, international transfer rules, and the Encarregado (data protection contact) requirement
- The Marco Civil da Internet myth — clearing up the common but inaccurate claim that Brazilian law mandates in-country data storage
- Pix and checkout performance — with instant payments now around 44% of online purchase value in Brazil, slow confirmation directly undermines conversion
- A practical Brazil-ready hosting checklist covering location, connectivity, storage, DDoS protection, uptime SLAs, compliance support, and scalability
