WooCommerce EU VAT Number 3.2.0
WooCommerce EU VAT Number enables a checkout field to collect and validate a customer's EU VAT number. If valid, VAT is not charged at your store, delivering tax-exempt purchases with accuracy, and as a WooCommerce extension it offers seamless EU VAT management.
Description
WooCommerce EU VAT Number is a WooCommerce plugin that adds a dedicated checkout field for customers to enter their EU VAT number. It helps you collect the right information at the point of purchase, then validates the VAT number entered by the buyer. When a valid VAT number is provided, your store can avoid charging VAT for that order, aligning checkout behavior with EU VAT requirements.
Built for WordPress and WooCommerce checkout workflows, this extension supports more accurate, automated EU VAT handling. It reduces the need for manual checks and supports smoother checkout experiences for B2B customers purchasing tax-exempt goods and services within the EU.
