Introducing customer's tax profile information for orders - POS Application API Suite

In the continued effort to streamline tax compliance and enhance operational efficiency, the POS Platform API Suite now supports the inclusion of customer tax profile details. This update ensures that essential tax information—such as the customer's tax ID, name, and email—is seamlessly captured and shared. It enables restaurants and food service providers to meet regulatory requirements and simplify tax-related processes during order transactions.

We are introducing a new object, "taxProfile", under the existing customer object to capture the details of the customer's tax profile.

Key Updates

1. New object: taxProfile
   A new object, "taxProfile", under the existing customer object to capture the customer's tax profile details.
   The "taxProfile" object includes the following fields:
   1. taxId: Customer's tax ID (string)
   2. name: Customer's tax profile name (string)
   3. email: Customer's tax profile email (string)
      JSON

       "customer": {
          "name": "John Doe",
          "contactNumber": "string",
          "email": "[email protected]",
          "taxProfile": {// Newly introduced object
            "taxId": "string",
            "name": "string",
            "email": "string"
          }
      

If Grubtech receives the tax profile information (e.g., tax ID, name, and email) from food aggregators while placing an order, the "taxProfile" object will be included in the order payload. If the food aggregator does not provide this information, the "taxProfile" object will be omitted from the payload.

Currently, this functionality is supported by Uber, Bolt, and Glovo aggregators through Grubtech.
