For Belgian merchants on Shopify who sell to businesses.
Since 1 January 2026, invoices between Belgian businesses have to be structured e-invoices, delivered over the Peppol network. Zendat builds the e-invoice from the order exactly as Shopify has it, has it checked against the Peppol rules, delivers it through a certified access point, and turns every refund into a credit note.

Invoice details
Buying as a business? Add your VAT number and we'll put it on your invoice.
VAT number (optional)
The buyer enters a VAT number on the thank-you page right after checkout, or later from the order status page. Zendat checks the number's format and validates it with VIES, the EU's VAT register.
Step 1 of 4
Check an order
Order number
Zendat builds the e-invoice from the order as Shopify has it: lines, taxes, shipping, payment terms, and your business entity as supplier. Check any order against the Peppol rules before sending.
Step 2 of 4
Send order #1002?
A certified access point checks the document against the Peppol rules and delivers it. Zendat first checks that the buyer is registered on Peppol; if not, it warns you and never sends automatically. Before every send you see who it goes to and what it says.
Step 3 of 4
Order 1002
The invoice arrives at your buyer's own access point. Send by hand from a preview, or let Zendat send every paid order once you switch that on. Every refund becomes a credit note of its own, so an invoice and its credit notes always tell the whole story of an order.
Step 4 of 4
Built for one job, and careful about it.
BIS 3.0
Every document is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 invoice or credit note, the format Belgian B2B invoices have to be in, validated against the rules before every send.
Certified
Documents go through a certified access point to your buyer's own. When a buyer is not registered on Peppol, Zendat warns you and never sends automatically.
Frankfurt
Zendat runs on servers in Frankfurt. Buyers' names and addresses go only to the access point and are not stored. What Zendat keeps per order is in the privacy policy.
Your call
Check any order against the Peppol rules first. Send by hand, or let Zendat handle every paid order. A sent document cannot be recalled, so Zendat says so before every send.

No. Zendat's VAT number block lives on the thank-you page and the order status page, which Shopify opens to every plan except Shopify Starter. Nothing changes in your checkout itself. The optional VAT field Shopify has had in its own checkout since 25 February 2026 only works with Shopify Tax and is meant for sales across a border; Shopify keeps the number on the customer profile. Zendat asks for and checks your Belgian business buyers' VAT number and turns it into the Peppol e-invoice, which that field does not do. More about this, and about what the Belgian obligation asks of you, is on the page about Peppol e-invoicing for Shopify in Belgium.
Orders where the buyer gave a VAT number. Consumer orders without one are left alone, and orders paid through a test gateway are never invoiced. You can also enter a buyer's VAT number yourself, for an order placed by phone or by email.
Zendat checks the buyer's registration on the Peppol network before sending. If the buyer is not registered, Zendat warns you and never sends the invoice automatically; the order is shown to you with that reason, and you can still send it by hand.
No. A document handed to the Peppol network is final; that is how the network works, not a limit of Zendat. Corrections go by credit note, which Zendat makes for every refund you issue in Shopify. Before every send you see who it goes to and what it says.
Zendat runs on servers in Frankfurt, in the EU. It keeps, per order, the order number, the document's id at the access point and its state, so that no order is ever invoiced twice, and while an order is being handled the reason shown to you and any error text from the access point, which can hold the buyer's VAT number. Your buyers' names, addresses and email addresses are read from Shopify when an invoice is built and go only to the access point. The details are in the privacy policy.
Zendat is built and run by Jason den Hartog, trading as Zendat, a sole proprietorship in the Netherlands (KVK 42169110; the full details are in the footer). A question to support@zendat.eu reaches the person who built it.
