详情介绍:
- Works on both checkouts — the classic shortcode checkout and the newer WooCommerce block checkout (registered through WooCommerce's Additional Checkout Fields API).
- Optional or required — collect a VAT number from everyone who wants to give one, or require it when you only sell to businesses.
- Your own label — call it "VAT number", "VAT ID", "Tax ID", "USt-IdNr." or anything that suits your store.
- Saved where you need it — on the order, on the admin order screen next to the billing address, and in the order emails.
- Pre-filled for returning customers — logged-in buyers see the number they used last time.
- All 27 EU member states, including Greece's EL prefix
- United Kingdom (GB numbers, including government and health authority formats)
- Switzerland (CHE numbers)
- Any other country falls back to a sensible generic check: a two-letter country code followed by 2–13 letters or digits
- Open any customer's user profile, tick Tax exempt, and save. From then on their cart and checkout are calculated without tax.
- Exemption follows the customer, not a coupon or a role, so you decide case by case who qualifies.
- A Tax-exempt customer badge appears on the admin order screen, so your team can see at a glance why an order has no tax.
- No external requests — nothing is sent to any third-party service.
- No extra database tables; settings live in one option and exemptions in user meta.
- A single, short settings page under WooCommerce → VAT & Tax Exemption.
- Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
- Translation ready.
- B2B and wholesale stores in the EU and UK that need VAT numbers on every business order.
- Mixed B2B/B2C shops where only some buyers have a VAT number.
- Suppliers to schools, charities, public bodies and resellers who are entitled to buy without tax.
- Store owners who invoice and need the buyer's VAT number on file for every order.
- Install and activate the plugin. A VAT number field appears on your checkout straight away.
- Under WooCommerce → VAT & Tax Exemption, set the field label, choose whether the number is required, and turn per-country format validation on or off.
- To exempt a customer from tax, edit their user profile, tick Tax exempt in the Tax exemption section and update the user.
- WMGRs Role Based Pricing for WooCommerce — wholesale and trade prices per user role.
- WMGRs Tiered Pricing for WooCommerce — quantity-based bulk discounts.
- WMGRs Request a Quote for WooCommerce — let customers request a quote instead of checking out.
- WMGRs Catalog Access Rules for WooCommerce — hide products or categories from guests or selected roles.
- Hide Price and Add to Cart for WooCommerce — hide prices and the add-to-cart button from guests or roles.

常见问题:
How do I add a VAT number field to the WooCommerce checkout?
Install and activate this plugin. The VAT number field appears on the checkout immediately — on both the classic checkout and the block checkout. You can rename it and make it required under WooCommerce → VAT & Tax Exemption.
Does it work with the WooCommerce block checkout?
Yes. The field is registered through WooCommerce's Additional Checkout Fields API for the block checkout, and as a billing field for the classic shortcode checkout. Format validation works on both.
How do I make a customer tax exempt in WooCommerce?
Edit the customer's user profile, tick "Tax exempt" in the Tax exemption section and update the user. From then on, whenever they are logged in, their cart and checkout are calculated without tax.
Does entering a VAT number make the order tax exempt automatically?
No. In the free version the VAT number is collected and format-checked, and tax exemption is something you switch on per customer once you have verified them. Automatic EU reverse charge based on a validated VAT number is planned for the premium version.
Does it check VAT numbers against VIES?
No. The free version checks that the number has the correct format for the buyer's country; it does not contact VIES or any other service. Live VIES lookups are planned for the premium version.
Which countries are validated?
All 27 EU member states, the United Kingdom and Switzerland have their own format rules. VAT numbers from any other country are accepted if they look like a two-letter country code followed by 2–13 letters or digits.
Can customers type spaces or dots in the number?
Yes. Spaces, dots and dashes are removed and letters are upper-cased before the number is checked, so "de 123.456.789" is read as DE123456789.
Can I make the VAT number required?
Yes. Tick "The VAT number is required to check out" in the settings. Leave it unticked if you also sell to consumers who do not have a VAT number.
Can I change the field label?
Yes. Set any label you like — for example "VAT ID", "Tax ID", "Company VAT number" or a translation for your market.
Where is the VAT number shown after the order is placed?
On the order in wp-admin, under the billing address, and in the order emails. It is also saved on the customer's account so it is pre-filled next time they check out.
Is the tax-exempt status shown on orders?
Yes. Orders from a tax-exempt customer show a "Tax-exempt customer" badge on the admin order screen, under the billing address.
Does tax exemption work for guest customers?
No. Exemption is stored on the customer's user account, so the customer needs to be logged in when they check out. Guests can still enter a VAT number.
Does it send data to any external service?
No. Everything happens inside your store. The plugin makes no external requests.
Is it compatible with HPOS?
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage and works with both legacy and high-performance order tables.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
Deleting the plugin removes its settings and the tax-exempt flags on customer profiles. VAT numbers already saved on orders and customer accounts are kept, because they are part of your order and customer records.
