Use this as a visible pattern, then use the generator below to adjust the exact field, fallback text, layout, and test notes.

{% assign opk_vat_id = customer.metafields.custom.vat_id.value | default: order.metafields.custom.vat_id.value %}

Generate metafield-style blocks for VAT IDs and invoice notes as a starting point. If the snippet works alone but your real Shopify Order Printer template has custom loops, tables, print CSS, app fields, or compliance-sensitive wording, send the current template for a scoped fix.

Ask for a scoped review when VAT fields must coexist with PO numbers, billing details, or country-specific wording.

FAQ

Where should a VAT ID come from?

Common sources are customer metafields, order metafields, company fields, or order notes, depending on how the store collects it.

Can I use this for B2B invoices?

Yes as a starting point, especially when paired with PO number and company fields.
