Fulfilment fit self-delivery or cooperative logistics (include logistics cooperation with Amazon).

Getting traffic

Omnichannel traffic: Brazil biggest omnichannel network (stores + DC high coverage) + e-commerce + ecosystem (finance/advertising/logistics open to third parties). On-site ads/retail media dey start; AI retail media na 2025–26 monetization focus (eMarketer). E-commerce active contraction dey cause platform traffic an growth limited; mainly rely on offline stores, membership (Magalu Club) an Amazon cooperation increment (volume from 2026).

Fulfilment & logistics

Imported goods need handle tariff an US$50 small-parcel duty-free regulation (after tightening cross-border platforms lose ground).
