Hide the option to add tax and business information at checkout

Use a parameter or HTML data attribute when working with Paddle.js to hide the option to add tax and business information at checkout.

What's new?

We added a new parameter to the Paddle.Checkout.open() method and Paddle.Initialize() methods that you can use to hide the option to add a tax number at checkout when working with Paddle.js:

settingsobject

Set general checkout settings.

showAddTaxIdboolean or null

Whether the option to add a tax number is displayed at checkout. Defaults to true.

We also added a corresponding HTML data attribute:

data-show-add-tax-idboolean

Whether the option to add a tax number is displayed at checkout. Defaults to true.

How it works

Paddle Checkout includes an "Add Tax Number" option to let customers enter a tax number. When clicked, Checkout prompts customer to enter their tax number, information about their business, and full address. If you don't work with businesses, you might like to hide this option.

The new showAddTaxId settings parameter and data-show-tax-id HTML data attribute lets you hide the option to add tax number and business information at checkout.

You can pass settings for opened checkouts using either Paddle.Checkout.open() or Paddle.Initialize(). Settings passed to Paddle.Initialize() are default settings, applied to all checkouts opened on a page.

This change removes the option for customers to apply a tax number and business information themselves, but you can still prefill business information when opening a checkout.

Examples

Next steps

This change is live in Paddle.js now, so you can start using showAddTaxId or data-show-add-tax-id when you're ready.
