How To Collect Business Tax ID
The Business Tax ID feature allows customers to provide their company’s Tax ID type and ID number during checkout or from their account dashboard. This information is then attached to their invoices and sent to Stripe to ensure proper tax handling.
Many businesses purchasing digital products or services need their official tax identification number (such as VAT, GST, or other regional tax IDs) included on invoices for accounting and compliance purposes.
With this feature, you can:
• Allow business customers to submit their tax ID
• Ensure invoices contain the correct tax information
• Support B2B purchases where company tax registration numbers are required
How to set up
Customers will be able to submit their business tax registration number from their dashboard. This works as the VAT ID and will automatically show on the Stripe invoice.
Depending on settings, the company specific billing info could be taken from a product checkout page, through a popup, or from the student dashboard.
Among the company billing info, there are specific Tax fields for B2B customers. To add from the student dashboard, they can go to the Billing menu and add an address.
Under the “Bill to company” section, they can provide the Tax ID type and the Tax ID number. It is important to note that they must use the correct Tax ID format in order for the whole process to work smoothly and ultimately show their VAT ID on the Stripe invoice.
Your B2B customers can find the correct VAT ID format from Stripe’s official documentation.
