Setting Up Customer Sync Preferences

Customer Search Field


Define how customer data is synchronized between Shopify and Fortnox. Choose a unique field, like email or VAT number, to prevent duplicates. A new customer is created only when the customer is not found in Fortnox by the defined search parameter.


Fortnox Customer Number Sync


Decide if Fortnox should automatically generate a customer number or if it should take the number from Shopify.


a) Let Fortnox create the customer number


The customer number will be created in Fortnox. Select the Shopify field to store the Fortnox customer number or select "Do not add it anywhere" if you don’t want to store this number


b) Take the Fortnox customer number from Shopify


The customer number is taken from Shopify. Select the Shopify field, which has the customer number or select "Do not add it anywhere" if you don’t want to add this number.

VAT zone mode

Configure VAT Zones automatically or define country-specific VAT Zones for your Fortnox customers & invoices.

Standard Dynamic VAT Type

  • Automatically assigns VAT type based on the customer’s billing country.

  • The integration automatically determines your customer VAT Type based on the customer location ("SE", "Subject to EU VAT" or "Export)

Use this if you want VAT to be fully automated across borders.

Advanced country-specific VAT Type

  • Specify a custom VAT type for selected countries.

  • All other countries will still use your standard dynamic VAT logic.

Use this when you need exceptions.

Customer Field Mappings

Customize the data transfer from Shopify to Fortnox to ensure accurate synchronization when a new customer is being created in Fortnox from Shopify. Some fields are mapped by default.

Click "Create new Shopify property" if you want to add any new mapping fields to the window.
