Tax IDs

Tax IDs can be stored on a merchant’s profile to identify the business for documentation and reporting purposes. They are set when creating or updating a merchant and are returned on the merchant object.

{
  "tax_ids": [
    {
      "type": "us-ein",
      "value": "12-3456789"
    }
  ]
}

A merchant can hold more than one tax ID — for example, a seller registered in both the US and the EU:

{
  "tax_ids": [
    { "type": "us-ein", "value": "12-3456789" },
    { "type": "de-vat", "value": "DE123456789" }
  ]
}
