When: only when VIES validation is enabled and the customer is checking out with a VAT number.

  1. Install and activate the plugin like any other WordPress extension.
  2. Open WooCommerce Fiscalità ITA to configure options.
  3. (Optional) Enter your Italian VAT as “VIES requester” for more reliable checks.
  4. Test checkout with a valid EU VAT to confirm VAT removal.
VIES returns “INVALID” for a valid VAT number

Try a clean check by appending ?dot4all_fiscalita_ita_light_nocache=1&dot4all_fiscalita_ita_light_nocache_nonce=... (admin only, nonce required).
Make sure PHP SOAP is enabled and the server can reach ec.europa.eu.

Can I use the plugin with Checkout Blocks?

Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce Store API.

VAT is not removed even when VIES is valid

Check that:
– “Calculate tax based on” is not set to shipping with an empty address.
– The customer type is “Company” or “Freelancer”.
– The VAT number is correct (prefix optional).
– A cache plugin is not serving a static checkout.

Does it generate invoices or receipts?

Yes, if you use “WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips”: you can set a separate receipt numbering.
