Introduction:
Our app offers a powerful EU VAT ID Validator feature designed to streamline your tax validation process and display prices accurately for your customers. It ensures transparency in pricing by adjusting the displayed prices based on the validity of the VAT ID entered. Please note that this feature focuses on displaying prices and does not deduct any taxes from the checkout experience.
What is the EU VAT ID Validator Feature?
The EU VAT ID Validator feature allows you to add a custom field to your Shopify store's cart page where customers can enter their VAT identification number (VAT ID). Once enabled, this validator verifies the validity of the VAT ID entered by the customer and adjusts the displayed prices accordingly.
How Does it Work?
When enabled, the EU VAT ID Validator field appears on the cart page of your Shopify store. Customers can enter their VAT ID into this field during the checkout process. Upon submission, our app validates the entered VAT ID to ensure its accuracy and validity.
If the VAT ID is valid:
The app displays tax-excluded prices to the customer, providing transparency and clarity about the final cost of their purchase.
The validated VAT ID is stored in the Shopify customer metafield with the key name "vat_id_final_price," allowing you to access it for invoicing or other applications.
If the VAT ID is invalid:
The app displays tax-included prices to the customer, indicating that the VAT ID entered is not valid.
Customers are notified that their VAT ID is invalid and may need to provide a correct VAT ID for tax exemption.
Key Features:
Seamless Integration: Easily integrate the EU VAT ID Validator feature into your Shopify store's cart page with just a few clicks.
Automated Validation: Our app automatically validates the entered VAT ID in real-time, providing instant feedback to customers.
Price Adjustment: Display tax-excluded prices for valid VAT IDs and tax-included prices for invalid VAT IDs, ensuring transparency in pricing.
Customer Metafield Storage: Validated VAT IDs are securely stored in Shopify customer metafields, allowing for easy access and utilization in invoicing or other applications.
Note: It's important to understand that while the EU VAT ID Validator feature provides pricing transparency to customers, it does not directly affect the final order or invoice. The feature is designed to enhance the user experience by displaying relevant tax information during the checkout process.
Conclusion:
The EU VAT ID Validator feature in our app offers a convenient solution for Shopify merchants to verify and validate VAT IDs, ensuring compliance with EU tax regulations and providing transparency in pricing to customers. By integrating this feature into your store, you can streamline the checkout process and enhance the overall shopping experience for your customers.
