If your customers enter a VAT number at checkout, you can now get it into your spreadsheets. This is especially useful for EU stores that need the number for invoicing.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Customer: Tax ID** - order and draft order exports include the tax or VAT number stored on the customer, next to the other customer columns (see [field reference](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490221-order-fields#customer-tax-id)).
- **Tax ID** - customer exports include the same value as a new column in the general category.

Shopify collects the tax ID from the customer at checkout, so the columns are export only. On import they are ignored, and existing customer data stays untouched.
