Hi,
Yes, it is possible to retrieve the VAT number from the customer’s tax information and include it in Order Printer invoices. In your Order Printer template, you can access the VAT number using Liquid like:

{% if customer.tax_exemptions.size > 0 %}
VAT Number: {{ customer.tax_exemptions[0] }}
{% endif %}

Hi, thanks for taking the time. It’s not pulling any data through. I have tried reducing it to simply {{ customer.tax_exemptions }} but still nothing.
