EU VAT Number for WooCommerce v3.1.0

WooCommerce EU VAT Number is a powerful extension designed to simplify tax compliance for online stores selling to businesses across the European Union. This plugin seamlessly integrates into your WooCommerce checkout process to collect and validate EU VAT numbers from your customers. By automatically verifying the VAT registration status of EU businesses, it enables your store to confidently exempt eligible customers from paying VAT, reducing friction in B2B transactions while ensuring you stay aligned with EU tax regulations.

What sets WooCommerce EU VAT Number apart is its direct connection to the European Commission’s VIES VAT validation system, offering real-time verification that protects you from fraudulent VAT claims and costly tax errors. It also adapts intelligently based on your customer’s location—showing VAT fields only to relevant EU customers and hiding them from those outside the EU, streamlining checkout and improving user experience. With built-in support for VAT on digital goods and robust compatibility with latest WooCommerce versions and high-performance order storage systems, this plugin is an essential tool for merchants scaling their business across European markets.
