Great plugin!
by krookenpro·1 month ago

This is the only plugin (that I know of) that actually checks VAT numbers against VIES for free. I had an issue (my own fault) with the plugin on my block based (FSE) setup but customer support was fast, responsive and helpful.

Perfect Solution for EU B2B Sales!
by trejka·4 months ago

This plugin has been a lifesaver for our WooCommerce store! We sell to businesses across the EU and the UK, so managing VAT compliance had become a real headache. However, the EU/UK VAT Validation Manager handles everything seamlessly.

Real-time VIES validation works flawlessly — customers enter their VAT number at checkout, and the plugin instantly verifies it and adjusts the tax accordingly. AJAX validation is smooth and doesn’t require any page reloads, keeping the checkout process professional and quick.

I was particularly impressed by how customisable it is. We can set different rules for different countries, control when VAT is exempted or preserved, and customise all the messages that customers see during validation. The plugin also works perfectly with the new block-based checkout, which was important to us.

The support team deserves a special mention — they’re incredibly responsive and helpful. When I had questions about setting up country-specific rules, they replied within hours with clear, detailed answers. It’s rare to find such dedicated support, especially with a free plugin!
If you’re running a B2B WooCommerce store in Europe, this plugin is absolutely essential. Highly recommended!
