See every featureShopify's B2B checkout includes a purchase order field, but cannot make it required or check the format buyers enter. PO Number Validator adds that control. Set your rules once, and every B2B buyer must enter a PO number matching your format before placing an order. Validation runs server-side, so it applies to every checkout type.
VatPO Pro adds two customizable fields to checkout — one for VAT number, one for Purchase Order number. What customers type is saved to the order, so your accounting and invoicing workflows stay clean without manual data entry. Enable both fields, or just one — each has its own toggle. Customize placeholders so buyers know exactly what to enter. If a customer refreshes checkout, their typed values are preserved.
- Require a purchase order number on every B2B checkout
- Enforce PO format with pattern, prefix, and length rules
- Works on all checkout types, including express and accelerated
- Show buyers translated error messages for each market you sell in
- Two independent fields — enable VAT only, PO only, or both
- Values saved to order attributes, visible in Order Details
- Customizable placeholders — write the exact prompt you need
