Issuing company

Register the company that issues the invoices: CNPJ, regime, address, environment, NFS-e standard, digital certificate and automatic status notices.

Each issuing company is an integration of type Notfy Tax (NFS-e), with its own CNPJ (Brazilian company tax ID). Tax transmission uses the Focus NFe provider; this integration holds the issuer’s data, the environment and the preferences that appear on the invoices.

​

When to use

On the first Tax setup, when switching environments (testing to production), when renewing the digital certificate, or when registering another company of the group.

​

Before you start

• The Tax module must be included in your company’s plan.
• Have at hand the CNPJ, municipal registration, address and tax regime.
• To issue in production, have the e-CNPJ type A1 digital certificate (.pfx or .p12 file) and its password.
• You need permission to edit integrations.

​

Create the integration

1. Open the integrations

   In Settings, open Integrations and create a new integration.

2. Choose the type

   In the Integration Type field, select Notfy Tax (NFS-e). Enter the Integration Name and keep Active Integration turned on.

3. Save and open to edit

   After saving, the Notfy Tax (NFS-e) tab appears in the edit view with all the sections below.

​

Sections of the Notfy Tax (NFS-e) tab

Section	What to do
Readiness to issue	Shows warnings about what is missing. See Readiness check.
Tax credentials	Enter Provider’s CNPJ (14 digits, required and not repeated in another integration) and Municipal Registration (required).
Environment	Sandbox (testing) or Production. Sandbox invoices have no tax value.
NFS-e standard	Municipal (city hall provider) or National NFS-e (DPS). With the national standard, DPS series and Next DPS number appear.
Automatic status notices	Enable automatic notices button.
Issuer — Registration Data	Legal Name, Tax Regime, Primary CNAE Code, State Registration (IE), Postal Code, Municipality IBGE code, Street, Number, Complement, District, Municipality and State.
Accounting	Accounting Regime: cash or accrual.
Responsible accountant	Accountant’s name, CRC, CPF, firm’s CNPJ, municipality code (IBGE) and email. Pre-fills the SPED.
Digital Certificate	Shows the status and expiration date; Register Company button.

Notfy uses a partner tax issuer to transmit invoices and fetch the result. The integration stores the issuer’s CNPJ, the chosen environment and the preferences required for issuance; the taxation rules live in the Tax profiles.

Tax Regime options: MEI, Simples Nacional, Simples Nacional (sublimit excess), Lucro Presumido (presumed profit) and Lucro Real (actual profit).

In the Issuer — Registration Data block, the Fill in by CNPJ button fetches legal name, CNAE, address and suggests MEI or Simples. The regime is only a suggestion: confirm with your accountant. Details in Lookups.

​

Register the company and the certificate

1. Fill in the issuer

   All required issuer fields must be saved. If anything is missing, Notfy warns with “Incomplete issuer data” and lists what is missing.

2. Click Register Company

   In the Digital Certificate section, open Register Company. Upload the certificate file and enter the Certificate Password.

3. In sandbox, the certificate is optional

   Leave the file blank to use the tax issuer’s shared certificate, valid only for testing.

4. Check the status

   After success (“Company registered”), the Certificate Status shows “Active certificate” with the expiration date.

The certificate password is not stored in Notfy: it is used only when sending. Keep it in a safe place. The status becomes “Expires in N days” in the last 30 days and “Expired certificate” after the expiration date; renew before then so issuance is not interrupted.

​

Receive status updates

In the Automatic status notices section, click Enable automatic notices and confirm. Notfy registers the NFS-e, NF-e and NFC-e notices with Focus NFe and receives the update when an invoice changes status, such as authorization or rejection.

Activation can be repeated without creating duplicate notices. Even without enabling it, Notfy runs periodic checks on invoices that are still processing.

Sandbox is for testing and does not produce an invoice with tax value. Before switching to Production, review CNPJ, municipal registration, address, regime, tax profiles, certificate and DPS numbering with your accountant.

Frequently asked questions

Which environment should I use?

Start in Sandbox to test the whole flow. Switch to Production only when profiles, certificate and issuer data have been reviewed.

Which NFS-e standard should I choose?

The Municipal standard depends on the city hall’s system. National NFS-e (DPS) works in municipalities that joined the national system. If in doubt, the readiness check warns if your municipality is not served by the municipal standard.

Can I delete the tax integration?

Not if it already has issued invoices. In that case, deactivate the integration instead of deleting it.

Do I need to fill in the DPS?

DPS numbering continues on its own. Change the series or the next number only if the company has already issued DPS through another system and your accountant asks you to.
