vatnode

A REST API that validates EU VAT numbers against the official VIES register and returns validity, company details, country VAT rates, and an EU Commission consultation number as audit evidence for invoicing and reporting. It solves the problem of proving a customer VAT number was valid at invoice time for zero-rating intra-EU B2B supplies. It sells to software developers and finance/accounting teams at B2B companies handling checkout, invoicing, and onboarding. It is delivered as an EU-hosted API with single-call checks, automatic fallback to national registries, and dashboard-managed requester configuration.
