One possible approach could be to create a separate customer group or tag for B2B customers and then use that condition to control which shipping methods are displayed at checkout. Using the VAT number as the trigger makes sense, but I’d be careful about relying on it alone since some customers may enter it later in the process. Curious to hear how others have implemented this in Odoo.

Hope it helps

Hello Markus,

Yes, this can be achieved in Odoo, but it is not available as a standard configuration out of the box.

A common approach is to use the VAT number entered during checkout as the indicator of a B2B customer and then apply custom logic to display only specific delivery methods for those customers. The shipping options can be filtered dynamically based on whether a valid VAT number is present.

Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion.

Hello Markus,
Out of the box, Odoo filters shipping methods natively by geography (countries/states) or website, but it does not have a standard checkbox to filter shipping methods by the customer's VAT field.
If you don't want to buy third-party apps or write heavy backend code, you can use Automation Rules  to tag customers as "B2B" when they provide a VAT number, and then use Odoo's native B2B settings.
Let me know if you need any help regarding this
Thanks
