What NFe.io does

NFe.io (legal entity NFE.IO HUB SERVICOS DE TECNOLOGIA LTDA, CNPJ 18.792.479/0001-01) is a Brazilian SaaS company headquartered in Pinheiros, São Paulo, that operates an API-first platform for electronic fiscal document issuance and government data consultation. The platform connects directly to Brazilian federal (Receita Federal), state (SEFAZ), and municipal tax authorities to issue NF-e (product), NFC-e (consumer), NFS-e (service), and CTe (freight) documents with automatic tax calculation, including the new IBS/CBS taxes introduced by Brazil's Tax Reform. Beyond issuance, the company offers consultation APIs for CNPJ, CPF, address, and fiscal document verification, plus a web dashboard supporting multi-CNPJ management for white-label and reseller use cases.

The core technology stack is a REST API platform with interactive Swagger documentation, RunKit examples, webhook support, and batch issuance via Excel/Google Sheets. NFe.io has built native integrations with more than ten payment processors (Asaas, Iugu, Pagar.me, Stripe, Mercado Pago, Hotmart, Vindi, Wirecard, Boleto Simples, Superlógica), e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Loja Integrada, Eduzz), the Bling ERP, and iPaaS connectors (Zapier, Pluga). The go-to-market combines self-serve developer onboarding with enterprise sales for larger accounts and white-label embedding through software houses and ERP providers.

NFe.io monetizes through tiered monthly subscriptions per document type (NF-e, NFC-e, NFS-e plans) plus optional premium support and usage-based revenue from the data consultation APIs. The customer base spans transportation and logistics (Loggi, Jadlog, Rodonaves, Total Express, CCR, Intelipost), retail (Leroy Merlin, Loja Integrada), SaaS and technology (Logmein, RD Station, Clicksign, Agendor, Plataformatec, Pluga), marketplaces (Parafuzo), financial services (Safra), tourism (C2Rio), and healthcare (Cuidas, Dona Madá). The company is privately held with early-stage backing from Darwin Startups, is LGPD compliant, and operates exclusively in Brazil.

Core offering

NFe.io provides a REST API platform for the automated issuance and consultation of Brazilian electronic fiscal documents (NF-e, NFC-e, NFS-e), with direct integration to government tax authorities (SEFAZ). The platform enables businesses, software houses, and accounting firms to embed compliant fiscal document workflows into their own systems, supported by consultation APIs for CNPJ, CPF, and address validation.

Product overview

NFe.io is a unified SaaS platform for electronic invoice issuance and fiscal data management in Brazil. The core offering consists of three invoice APIs — NFS-e (service), NF-e (product), and NFC-e (consumer) — complemented by a suite of data query APIs (CNPJ, CPF, invoice, address) that enable base normalization and fraud prevention. The platform provides a REST API with SDKs and plugin integrations for payment processors, supports batch issuance via Excel/Google Sheets, and includes a web dashboard for monitoring and multi-company management. The architecture connects directly with Brazilian government systems (SEFAZ, prefecture portals, Receita Federal) for real-time fiscal document processing.
