Identifiers for Multiple Countries

Approach

When you have to send to multiple countries, you need to have a good approach on how to identify the customers in these countries;

The customer can be registered with one of more identifiers as a receiver.

Below some identifer types:

Typical approach:

• If customer has a VAT number, always include the VAT number in the API field VATNumber.
  • When customer is registered for receiving via VAT number, then this can be used as identifier for sending
  • When customer is not registered for receiving via VAT number, then this is still useful as it should be included in tax information
• If other identifiers are needed, they can be added in the identifier segment
  • One or more identiers can be added
  • If these identifiers are registered for receiving, they can be used for sending
  • The list of identifiers can be found on : https://docs.billit.be/docs/allowed-identifiers.
