Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAllow customers to validate their EU VAT ID and get tax-exempted in real-time. Add VAT IDs to existing customers from the Shopify Admin. Shopify Plus stores can integrate the validation module directly in the Checkout. Exemptify also facilitates international sales by displaying correct prices based on customer location, so your customers know right away what they will have to pay at checkout.
