An EIN number is needed to register your Business Profile inside of WooSender. If you don't live in the US, you can still register to get an EIN by following the steps below...

1) Call the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) at 267-941-1099 and press the appropriate number from the menu to receive a foreign EIN. Hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The IRS office is open Monday through Friday only.

2) Make sure that you are authorized to get the EIN (either as the owner of the business or as a Third Party Designee who has been authorized to act on behalf of the business).

3) You will also need to be able to answer questions related to Form SS-4, which you can get by visiting the IRS website and searching for the Application for Employer Identification Number.

4) Form SS-4 asks questions regarding your business, including its U.S. mailing address, the type of entity that your company is, your reason for applying for an EIN, and the industry you work within

5) At the end of your call, you will be issued an EIN, which you can start using right away. Be sure to write the number down and keep it in a safe place. If you don’t have a U.S. address, ask the IRS representative if they will mail the EIN internationally or send it via email.
