What Merchants Think

Overall, merchants have a mixed yet predominantly positive view of "Exemptify". While many users appreciate its ability to seamlessly handle VAT requirements for both B2C and B2B transactions across the EU and beyond, some have faced challenges related to integration and specific VAT validation features. Exemptify's support team, particularly Thorsten, is frequently praised for exceptional service and responsiveness, though a few users have noted perceived issues with feature completeness and stability.

Key Strengths

  • Effectively manages VATID within the EU
  • Easy installation and configuration
  • Responsive and proactive customer support, especially by Thorsten
  • Facilitates compliance with new EU tax regulations
  • Supports both B2B and B2C VAT calculations

Common Concerns

  • Challenges with integration or specific themes
  • Requires Shopify settings for VAT that may not fit all business models
  • Limited VAT-ID validation that may not meet legal requirements for some merchants
  • Some instances of VAT being incorrectly added back during the payment process

Final Thoughts

"Exemptify" is largely considered a valuable tool for online merchants needing to address EU VAT requirements. It offers robust support and generally effective functionality, although some users feel there are areas for improvement, particularly in more nuanced functionality and VAT validation processes. When it integrates well into a merchant's platform, it can significantly streamline tax compliance.

The app requires a Shopify VAT include/exclude setting which makes it impossible to define the same VAT inclusive prices for B2C customers in all countries. Support by Exemptify feels patronising as the guy blames the customer to be ignorant in stead of admitting that Exemptify lacks this functionality. The required functionality is easily available in the Woocommerce EU VAT plugin, which indicates we don’t ask a silly or impossible question. The app might be ok for B2B only companies. A combination of B2B and B2C customers doesn’t offer basic functionality which took us a long time to hear from Exemptify.

Getting the app to function correctly has posed some challenges. The VAT was accurately deducted from the prices, but unfortunately, it was added back in the final step of the payment process. Currently, it seems to be working (after assistance from customer service), though it doesn't appear very stable. Unfortunately, we have been unable to determine the source of the error.

We have used Exemptify since migrating to Shopify & it has been great for our needs. Recently, we had an issue caused by coding added by a developer so I contacted the app developer for help. Thorsten was so helpful, responded very quickly & resolved the issue for us.

App is easy to configure and works great, also with the new EU tax regulations starting July 2021. The fastest and most uncomplicated support so far. Thank you.

When we first decided to move our web site to a hosted service we put Shopify at the top of the list but then had to strike it off due the fact that it couldn't handle the EU requirements for VAT. Exemptify changed that and made it possible again. Exemptify handles B2C and B2B VAT both for EU and non-EU customers, Support has been absolutely brilliant, with Thorsten fixing our theme to display the price properly within a couple of hours of us asking. I honestly have never received such amazing support.

I've just set this up, with Thorsten's help on one aspect I was struggling with to do with the comma vs dot question as the decimal point. Actually it is explained in the "documentation" section but I hadn't spotted it. The app seems to do exactly what I wanted and Thorsten replied to me within a very short time, thanks!

Thorsten is an absolute star - fantastic customer service. He was swift at getting things done and totally patient with all my questions. I'm based in the UK so it was frustrating with the whole VAT issues - if you want to be able to show your products in the UK with VAT but enable your international customers view and purchase without then this is the app for you. It works great. I'm very happy. Thanks again!!

Installed this app yesterday on our site www.winchshop.co.uk, had quite a few problems with integration due to theme we were using, contacted Thorsten from [email protected] and he has done a 5* service sorting all the problems, would recommend as a great addition to your site. Dave UK Based

Great app! It settles the issue with Shopify not being designed for EU tax exempt customers. Plus Thorsten is extremely helpful! Just perfect!

Exemptify just checks if the VAT-ID exists. In Germany the law says that the verification has to be done "with the diligence of a prudent businessman". Many sources on the web as well as our tax advisor state that only the "qualified validation" which also verifies the address meets this requirement. Consequently in case of an audit any merchant just checking the existence of the VAT-ID likely will have to pay VAT for any purchases with a (valid) VAT grabbed from the net where the address does not match the buyer's. I'd happily update this review if anything I stated is not accurate.
