ABN LOOKUP TOOL
For B2B Systems Running on Woocommerce
*This plugin requires a valid Gravity Forms license.
Integrate your Woocommerce store with the Australian Business Register ABN lookup tool to allow your customers to verify their ABN within their account.
What does it do?
What it does…
The ABN Lookup Tool plugin integrates with your WordPress site’s Woocommerce Account page to add an ‘ABN Lookup Tool’ endpoint (this is just a tab where you can register your ABN). When your customers register their ABN number it will be listed in the user details and appear on the Woocommerce Checkout page.
What it doesn’t do.
The ABN Lookup Tool does not verify that your customers are in fact the owners of that ABN. There is no way that someone is unable to pretend to be someone else when using your site. However, it is most likely that seeing the incorrect details against their account will look odd to them, as well as in your backend. It is up to you to check for any unusual behaviour on your site.
Data review and verification.
Once your customer enters in their ABN and clicks ‘Next’ they will be able to review the data that the lookup tool has recovered. After saving their data they will also be able to return their account page at anytime and update their ABN, again verifying their account data.
If you want to use the ABN Lookup Tool on any other page it is recommended to use the ABN Lookup Tool form. It is possible that we are able to integrate the ABN lookup tool with other membership platforms such as Paid Membership Pro.

How does it work?
1. Installing your plugin.
After purchasing your plugin login to your website dashboard (i.e. mysite.com.au/wp-admin). Then go to Plugins > Add New. Upload the downloaded plugin file.
Activate the plugin.
3. Configuring Gravity Forms
In creating this plugin we made use of some of the functionality of Gravity Forms. Purchase and install the plugin. The next step requires you to download three ready made forms. You don’t need to edit these forms but you will need to change the form submission email address. We’ll come back to that… for now click on the three links to download the form import JSON files.
Once you’ve downloaded the files click on the ‘import’ link and import the three forms.
4. Get your form ID numbers
Once the forms have been imported we need to get the form ids. For this step it’s easiest if you open a second tab in your browser. Go to WP Admin > Forms. Here you will see the three forms we imported at step 3. Copy the form ID for each form. Enter the ID into the relevant fields in the ABN Lookup Tool plugin admin page.
5. Sign up with the Australian Business Register for a GUID
In order to look up an ABN we need to use a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). This is just so the Australian Business Register (ABR) knows who is querying the database. It is free to register for a GUID and you can do that here.
