Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureIn B2B business within the EU, cross-border deliveries of goods to companies are tax-exempt in the country of origin & subject to VAT in the country of destination by the buyer (reverse charge). Outside the EU (third country), a sale is tax-free, but VAT must be paid in the country of destination. For sales outside the EU, there is also a requirement to provide proof of export of goods to a third country.
EU B2B merchants need a reliable way to verify VAT numbers. Manual checks do not scale, and valid numbers can fail later. VAT Validator Pro checks numbers live against VIES via a storefront cart widget, plus a checkout field on Shopify Plus. Only VIES-confirmed results count as verified. If VIES is down, numbers stay unverified -> checkout continues and VAT may still apply.
- Tax exempt manager allows you to automatically deduct VAT IDs for customers
- Show your customers duties, taxes and fees in advance and list VAT IDs in orders
- VAT numbers are checked via VIES (EU database) & can be printed on invoices.
- TEM enables customizable order & customer tagging, text and discount codes.
- Real-time VIES checks; unverified if VIES is down
- Optional tax-exempt sync (merchant opt-in)
- Automatic re-validation every 90 days
- Exportable audit log
