VATify helps EU Shopify stores comply with the EU Reverse Charge Mechanism. When a business customer enters their EU VAT number, VATify validates it instantly against the official VIES database and automatically removes VAT from their order — no manual work needed.

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
