Lengow is now compatible with Amazon’s VAT calculation service

Amazon’s VAT Calculation Service (VCS) program allows sellers to access a number of services on the marketplace, such as VAT calculation and invoicing, and the option to display your prices excluding VAT to e-commerce professionals.

By subscribing to this service (registrations are validated by Amazon), you automatically become an Amazon Business seller and obtain a VCS quality badge, assuring Amazon users (individuals or professionals) they will receive an invoice from you. 

This service is particularly recommended for B2B e-commerce activity with Amazon Business in the UK, France, and Germany. 

Note: Amazon sellers must provide Amazon with a valid European Union VAT number to be eligible for this service.

Amazon’s VAT Calculation Service means the marketplace generates the invoices for you, available from Amazon Seller Central, and then makes them available to your customers.   

With Amazon’s VAT Calculation Service light (Amazon VCS light), you are responsible for generating your invoices. This allows you to maintain control over your billing template. These invoices must then be sent to Amazon, as well as to your customers within 24 hours of your orders being shipped.

If you use Amazon VCS light, please note that this service is also connected to our platform via our Order API. 

Via an API, Lengow retrieves the data of your orders placed on the marketplace. This data is then made available to you so you can generate invoices. Once your document is ready, you can upload it (in PDF format) via our API to send it to Amazon who will check its validity.

NB: this action requires the intervention of a developer.

Note that e-commerce CMS’ cannot natively manage the settings required to perform these new actions. Therefore, this program is not implemented on our modules Prestashop, Magento, Shopify, Shopware, Woocommerce, etc.
