Can I use a plugin to automatically add VAT information to order confirmations


Yes, you can use a plugin to automatically add VAT information to WooCommerce order confirmations. Here are a couple of options:

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[1].

Key features include:

- Collecting VAT numbers during checkout
- Validating VAT numbers against the VIES database
- Displaying VAT information on order confirmation pages
- Exempting businesses with valid VAT numbers from VAT charges

BizPrint

BizPrint is a plugin that lets you create customized receipts, invoices, packing slips and more for WooCommerce orders. It has the following VAT-related features[3]:

- Automatically adds VAT fields to WooCommerce invoices
- Stores the customer's VAT number in a custom meta field
- Allows creating custom VAT invoice templates
- Enables automatic printing of VAT invoices when orders are placed

To use BizPrint for VAT invoices:

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Create a custom invoice template and add VAT fields
3. Enable automatic printing of invoices for new orders
4. Invoices with VAT details will now be printed automatically

So in summary, plugins like EU VAT Number and BizPrint make it easy to automatically include VAT information on WooCommerce order confirmations and invoices. This helps ensure compliance with EU tax regulations.
