WooCoomerce Eu Vat Field

The WooCoomerce Eu Vat Field (WCEV) seamlessly integrates an additional EU Vat Number Field into your WooCommerce platform. It will be dinamically shown during the checkout process only if the selected billing country is part of the European Union. The plugin also offers several other options, like a way to validate the field, make it as a required one or to remove the VAT fee.

Note: The plugin, like WordPress, requires a minimum 5.5 PHP version.

THE IDEA

WCEV extends WooCommerce adding an EU Vat Number Field that will be dynamically shown during the checkout process and user profile
page only if the selected billing country is part of the European Union. The Shop Admin can also make it compulsory and optionally
validate it (the plugin uses the VIES function or simply check if it has a valid format ). It also allows you to not charge the users
that enter a Vat number.

Configuration

By accessing to the WooCommerce -> EU Vat Field – Options you can configure the plugin options. You can, for example, disable the required option or show the Require invoice voice by which the customer
can request an invoice. Furthermore, once enabled this option, you can also make the field visible only if the users requests an invoice.

Vat validation

The Vat number can be validated using the VIES function. In case the validation fails, the plugin will not allow the checkout to be completed and it
will show a validation warning message (customizable using the Texts menu).

Validation can be also performed by just checking the if the Vat number has a valid format.

Don’t bother your users with unusefull checkout fields!

Why ask your customers for Company name and Vat if they are just consumers? WCEV allows you to not bother them!

Using the following options:

1. Request an invoice: to display the Vat field only if the user requests an invoce.
2. Consumer/Business selector to dynamically display the Company name and Vat fields only if the customer identify himself as a Business.

Tax exemption

The WCEV plugin will also allow you to not charge the VAT taxes for users that have inserted a VAT Number. Tax exemption can be applied to all users with a VAT Number (and optionally even for the ones who have the same billing country as the shop base location: WooCommerce -> Settings -> General -> Base Location).

Tax removal will take effect on Checkout page, where once the user has inserted a valid VAT number, item prices and totals will showed and billed without taxes.

Business-to-Business made easy!

The shop admin can also make the Billing company name field as required! So optionally using this option in conjuction with the VIES Vat validation method and the enabling Tax removal option, shop admin can easily make business to business (b2b) sales.

Label and Text (WPML Localizable)

Field label, placeholder and validation error message can be customized using the Text menu. For WMPL users, text can be localized by just switching the current language using the WPML language selector and then entering texts for the current language.

Frontend integration

WCEV seamlessly integrates the EU Vat Field in the Checkout, My Account, Order details pages and in the Order emails. No configuration required!

Backend integration

WCEV seamlessly integrates the EU Vat Field also in the backend. The shop admin can retrieve Vat number information and if the user requested an invoice, from the Order details and Orders list pages:
