Amazon VAT Calculation Service (VCS)

Introduction

Amazon’s VAT Calculation Service (VCS) allows sellers to:

• Display VAT-exclusive prices to business customers
• Receive the Downloadable VAT Invoice badge
• Increase customer trust and sales, as buyers can filter out sellers without this badge

Sellers have two options:

1. Let Amazon generate the invoices
2. Upload their own invoices (also with the downloadable badge)

Prerequisites

Register here to activate the VCS service:

Methods

Two methods are available:

Method 1: Amazon generates the invoices

During registration, select:

"I want Amazon to create invoices on my behalf."

⚠️ Important: With this option, the module will not retrieve invoices or tax data from Amazon.
You will not be able to customize or download invoices through PrestaShop.

Method 2: You upload your own invoices
