Brazil

ID Number

Requires customer ID, either: CPF or CNPJ

CPF

• The CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas – Natural Persons Register) is a number attributed by the Brazilian revenue agency (Receita Federal ‐ Federal Revenue) to both Brazilians and foreigners who pay taxes or take part directly or indirectly in activities resulting in revenues.

• The CPF has a format of 9-2 digits, separated by dots and hyphen “- “.

• Examples of valid CPF numbers:

  • 123.456.789‐09

  • 284.763.786‐96

  • 804.654.341‐18

Please note that dots and hyphen must not be sent, otherwise it will be considered invalid.

The parameter where the CPF information must be sent is:

• Credit card: customer.merchantCustomerId=12345678909

• Paypal: customer.merchantCustomerId=12345678909

• Boleto: customParameters[CUSTOM_CPF_NUMBER]=12345678909 and

  customer.merchantCustomerId=12345678909

• Validating the CPF results in higher authorization rates, therefore it is recommended to validate on merchants billing page before submitting to PPRO.

The following pseudocode can be used for validation:

Validation algorithm (CPF):

function ValidateCPF(cpf: int[11]) var v: int[2]

//Note: compute 1st verification digit.

v[1] := 10×cpf[1] + 9×cpf[2] + 8×cpf[3] v[1] += 7×cpf[4] + 6×cpf[5] + 5×cpf[6] v[1] += 4×cpf[7] + 3×cpf[8] + 2×cpf[9] v[1] := 11 ‐ v[1] mod 11 v[1] := 0 if v[1] ≥ 10

//Note: compute 2nd verification digit.

v[2] := 11×cpf[1] + 10×cpf[2] + 9×cpf[3] v[2] += 8×cpf[4] + 7×cpf[5] + 6×cpf[6] v[2] += 5×cpf[7] + 4×cpf[8] + 3×cpf[9] v[2] += 2×v[1] v[2] := 11 ‐ v[2] mod 11 v[2] := 0 if v[2] ≥ 10

//Note: True if verification digits are as expected. return v[1] = cpf[10] and v[2] = cpf[11]

CNPJ

• The CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Juridica – National Legal Person Register) is a unique Identification number attributed by the Brazilian revenue agency (Receita Federal). The registry is mandatory and entitles the entity to conclude contracts and legal proceedings. The CNPJ is stated on all receipts as well as packages of industrial products.

• Example of a typical CNPJ number:

  • 03.847.655/0001-98

  • 74.880.010/0001-04

  • 58.520.485/0001-24

The parameter where the CNPJ information must be sent is:

• Credit card: customer.merchantCustomerId=03847655000128

• Paypal: customer.merchantCustomerId=03847655000128

• Boleto: customParameters[CUSTOM_CPF_NUMBER]=03847655000128

• Validating the CNPJ results in higher authorization rates, therefore it is recommended to validate on merchants billing page before submitting to PPRO.

The following pseudocode can be used for validation:

Validation algorithm (CNPJ):

function ValidarCNPJ(cnpj: int[14]) ‐ bool var v: int[2]

//Note: Compute first verification digit. v[1] := 5×cnpj[1] + 4×cnpj[2] + 3×cnpj[3] + 2×cnpj[4] v[1] += 9×cnpj[5] + 8×cnpj[6] + 7×cnpj[7] + 6×cnpj[8] v[1] += 5×cnpj[9] + 4×cnpj[10] + 3×cnpj[11] + 2×cnpj[12] v[1] := 11 ‐ v[1] mod 11 v[1] := 0 if v[1] ≥ 10

//Note: Compute second verification digit. v[2] := 6×cnpj[1] + 5×cnpj[2] + 4×cnpj[3] + 3×cnpj[4] v[2] += 2×cnpj[5] + 9×cnpj[6] + 8×cnpj[7] + 7×cnpj[8] v[2] += 6×cnpj[9] + 5×cnpj[10] + 4×cnpj[11] + 3×cnpj[12] v[2] += 2×v[1] v[2] := 11 ‐ v[2] mod 11 v[2] := 0 if v[2] ≥ 10

// Note: True if verification digits are as expected. return v[1] = cnpj[13] and v[2] = cnpj[14]
