Validate a customer's EU Vat number in Shopify by using Arigato Automation

Ensure accurate VAT information by validating customer VAT numbers saved as metafields during customer creation.

This automation is fired when a customer is created and includes an extra meta field to include their VAT number. A common use case uses a registration form using the Customer Account Fields app, with a VAT text input field. Once submitted, the app saved the value as customer meta and fired the workflow. 

The workflow uses the API Net VAT validation endpoint to confirm that the supplied value is correct. 

Once confirmed, the workflow can then be adjusted to perform extra steps such as tagging the customer as "validated."

Pro tip: To make use of the API, you will need to set up an account with vatlayer.com
