Message Processing
Learn about the possible status messages from the validation service.
The following table lists the possible responses to a validation request:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
tax-number-country-blocked | The country is blocked in the settings. |
tax-number-validation-not-available | The service couldn't validate the tax number. |
tax-number-ignored | The service ignores the tax number based on current settings (for example, blocked country, region, or seller). |
tax-number-syntax-valid | The tax number syntax is valid, but the service doesn't perform full validation. For countries that require a checksum (for example, India), the service considers the tax number valid if the syntax is correct and checksum validation is not configured. |
tax-number-syntax-invalid | The tax number syntax is invalid. |
tax-number-syntax-considered-valid-but-not-verified | The tax number syntax is valid, but the service couldn't verify it with the external tax authority system. This occurs when the error-handling strategy is set to syntax check, and the external service doesn't respond. |
tax-number-considered-valid-in-domestic-country | The tax number is valid in the supplier’s domestic country. |
tax-number-valid-according-to-external-service | The external tax authority system validates the tax number. |
tax-number-invalid-according-to-external-service | The external tax authority system validates the tax number as invalid. |
tax-number-validation-requested-additional-interactions | The external tax authority system requires additional input (for example, CAPTCHA) to complete validation. |
tax-number-service-temporarily-unavailable | The service can't connect to the external validation service due to temporary unavailability. |
