EU VAT number validation
in progress

Stéphane Demicheli
For European businesses, who operate worldwide or just in Europe, this is a must. For accounting, a reconciliation. Being able to automatically check the VAT number and apply VAT of their receptive country or not. I have to continue using Thivecart for this matter, so GoHighLevel is a fully integrated software after all...

Custom Fields (or VAT) for Payment Flow (EU & UK Complience)
K

Current Behaviour:
In both: one- and two- step payment there is no room to collect business details required for EU B2B invoices (e.g. company name, full address incl. country, VAT number).
This makes it difficult to stay compliant when selling through GHL as a EU-based business.
When I don't have all the business details of my customer, according to our local law, I need to issue a B2C invoice including 23% VAT.
Desired Behaviour:
Option A (easy): Allow custom input fields in the payment form.
So before payment, we can collect VAT number, company name and whatever businesses in other countires may need.
Option B (long-term): Integrate collection of company data (business name, full business address, proof they're a business (US EIN, VAT, GST etc)
I saw you're already planning VAT verification https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/invoice/p/eu-vat-number-validation so I think it would be optimal if you enable adding it in the payment flow and ideally pulled the business data automatically from the system, so that we're 100% sure there is no mistake
Attached:
Example of how a payment page in Stipe looks like, that's actually compliant with EU standards. I think they're a golden standard as they work with most online businesses around the globe.
Sidenote:
As far as I know it's Australia, Canada and New Zealand also have a similar sytem (GST) and may benefit from this enhancement

On Reddit the same concerns are shared. Please GHL, make invoicing compliant for EU ASAP. Using GHL to sell anything from the EU is not possible currently (whilst staying way from charges and jail) 😭

Hello Sales & Marketing, Shaun Clark, no updates since August 2025… Any news in this very awaited feature ? Just a “Field” in the order form would be a good first step 💪

Additionally, in B2B, for product purchases and payment links, we
must
issue a compliant invoice in the EU. A payment receipt is not enough! Stripe is capable of this, you just need to allow us to use Stripe for this.E

In this regard, it would also be important that personal income tax can be applied to invoices. It currently does not allow negative taxes to be added to invoices as would be the case in this case. In Spain, many freelancers and professionals apply this tax to their invoices and currently GHL cannot apply it because it does not allow the addition of taxes that are negative.

Sales & Marketing Any updates on this one? It's urgently needed in EU-zone as it is not currently possible to use the platform within the legal requirements...

Also having an OSS (one-stop shop) selection under countries would be very helpful, so we don't need to pick every European country on the list.

This is so so so important - GHL needs to be able to automatically check VAT and accordingly also register whether it's a B2B or B2C sale - and whether VAT must be charged or not. This should be integrated in products/ payment links.
Please add optional entering of VAT - into the payment links checkout form, so that customers can decide whether they want the invoice to go into their business bookkeeping or they buy the service/ product privately.
