VTEX is a software company that helps retailers build and run online stores. It provides a cloud-based commerce platform that handles things like product listings, checkout, order management, and promotions. Major customers include large brands and retailers across Latin America and beyond, such as Whirlpool, Motorola, and Walmart Brazil.

The company charges customers a subscription fee plus a small percentage of the sales processed through its platform, so revenue grows as its clients sell more online. VTEX operates primarily in Latin America, with Brazil as its largest market, though it has been expanding into Europe and other regions. Its main competitive advantage is deep integration with the complex tax and payment systems common in Latin American markets, which makes it difficult for rivals to replicate quickly. The key growth driver is the continued shift toward e-commerce in Latin America, where online retail penetration remains lower than in the United States or Europe, leaving significant room for expansion.
