Is it possible to send automatic invoices with VAT details for EU orders

Plugins for Automatic VAT Invoicing

1. EU VAT Number for WooCommerce - This official WooCommerce extension allows you to collect and validate EU VAT numbers at checkout. It automatically adds the required EU VAT information to the order confirmation and payment detail pages, which customers can use as VAT invoices[1].

2. Flexible Checkout Fields PRO - This plugin enables you to add custom fields to the WooCommerce checkout process and apply conditional logic. You can set rules to display the VAT number field only when the customer selects an EU country, ensuring that the field is only required for customers who need to provide a VAT number[3].

3. WooCommerce Checkout Manager - This plugin allows you to customize the checkout fields, including the ability to make fields conditional based on user input. You can configure it to show the VAT number field only when the customer selects an EU country, streamlining the checkout process for non-EU customers[3].

Configuring Automatic VAT Invoicing

1. Install and activate the plugin: Choose one of the plugins mentioned above and install it on your WooCommerce site.

2. Configure the VAT field:
- Navigate to the plugin settings and enable the VAT number field.
- Set the field to be required only for customers from EU countries.

3. Set conditional logic:
- Use the conditional logic feature to specify that the VAT number field should only appear when the customer selects an EU country from the billing address dropdown.

4. Validation:
- Ensure that the plugin is set up to validate the VAT number against the VIES database, providing immediate feedback if the number is invalid.

By utilizing these plugins, you can effectively implement automatic VAT invoicing for EU orders in WooCommerce. This not only complies with EU VAT regulations but also enhances the user experience by reducing unnecessary fields for customers outside the EU.
