Great! Finally a native way to collect & validate vat numbers during checkout.

How can it be retrieved from the API? Has anyone figured this out?

Regards,
Johan

Hey @Johan_de_Jager, we have had a few other requests for this. It’s not currently available but our team is aware this is something developers are asking for. Keep an eye on the developers changelog for announcements if it becomes available through the API.

Is there a timeline? Because it’s quite important to be able to get to this information in order to do proper Peppol invoicing for instance.

I don’t have a timeline on this currently. It will be part of an API version release if it is made available.

+1 . Also waiting for an API version where I can query the customer (non-company) VAT number field.

Hi,

We build invoicing integrations, and we need access to the customer’s VAT ID via API to correctly handle B2B vs B2C orders and forward the data to invoicing software.

This is a key need for many merchants, so we’d really appreciate it if you could prioritize it.

Thank you.

Just poking to get more attention.
This update is useless if it can’t be sent to invoicing software.
Peppol is killing us. Please help

Hi,

Please add this to the API asap. Crazy to come out with a feature after years and then not include it in the API.

Great news everyone. The taxSettings field on the Customer object is publicly accessible in the Admin GraphQL API starting in version 2026-07

2026-07 has been released but yet there seems to be no way to pull that information via Shopify Flow so that the TaxID is added to the order notes, am i correct ?

Hey @Blechkiste, currently Flow is using API version 2026-01 so that would be why it’s not yet available there: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-flow/getting-started/concepts/admin-api

Flow uses the Shopify GraphQL Admin API to build automations and integrations that extend and enhance the Shopify admin. Flow uses version 2026-01 of the API to evaluate conditions and variables in workflows as well as take actions in your Shopify store.
