Deployments

Deployment and integrations differ for Standalone and Integrated deployments.

Integrated

These implementations use the buyer_tax_number field to send Tax IDs to Vertex Validator. If the ID is valid, the transaction is treated as a a B2B transaction. If the ID is not valid, it is generally treated as a B2C transaction. This behaviour can differ depending on your settings.
