Configure Tax exempt setting on Cart

Control whether the tax ID field is required, whether valid IDs auto-exempt tax, and whether checkout is blocked on invalid IDs.

Tax Exempt Setup on Cart controls how the tax ID field behaves in your cart. There are 3 independent options — tick all of them, or only the ones you need.

Required Tax ID Field on Cart

When enabled, customers must enter a valid tax ID in the cart before they can check out.

If this setting is off, the tax ID field isn't validated at all — any input is accepted, and customers can proceed to checkout regardless.

Auto Tax Exempt

When a customer's tax ID is valid, their order is automatically tax-exempted. This setting does two things: adds the VAT ID to the order's Order note, and exempts tax on orders with a valid ID.

If you enable Required Tax ID Field on Cart without also enabling Auto Tax Exempt, customers must still enter a valid VAT ID to proceed — but their order won't automatically be tax-exempted.

Auto Redirect to Checkout

Even with an invalid tax ID, customers can still check out by clicking the checkout button a second time.

If the tax ID is valid, customers can check out immediately, with no second click needed.
