EU VAT Number for WooCommerce

EU VAT Number for WooCommerce is an official extension designed for online stores operating within the European Union that need to correctly manage intra-community VAT on their B2B transactions. It is intended for digital businesses, agencies, trainers, and any business that sells to corporate clients within the European territory and needs to comply with the corresponding tax obligations.

The extension adds a VAT number field in the billing section of the checkout process, allowing business customers to enter their tax identification number. The system automatically validates each number against the official VIES service (VAT Information Exchange System), the EU community database, ensuring that only legitimate numbers receive the tax exemption.

Its main features include real-time validation of VAT numbers, automatic tax exemption for companies with valid numbers, and the ability to configure the field as required or optional according to each store's needs. It also allows enabling pure B2B mode, where all customers must provide a valid VAT number to complete the purchase.

• Automatic validation of VAT numbers against the EU VIES system
• Automatic VAT exemption for companies with valid numbers
• VAT field configurable as required or optional
• B2B mode for stores that only sell to businesses
• Management of tax requirements for digital goods in B2C transactions
• Display of VAT data in the order administration panel
• Flexible configuration of validation error handling

The extension integrates natively with WooCommerce, showing the collected data in the order list and in each order's details within the admin panel. This facilitates document management and invoice preparation for tax obligations. Additionally, it offers advanced options such as collecting customer location in B2C transactions, an important requirement for compliance with VAT regulations on digital goods in the EU.

With simple configuration from WooCommerce > Settings > Taxes, this extension is the official WooCommerce solution for those who need to operate with European business clients safely and in compliance with current legislation.
