Add the EU VAT Field to the Registration Form

To add the EU VAT field to the registration form, go to WPFactory > EU VAT (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EU VAT), General sub-tab, enable Add EU VAT field to sign-up form, and save. EU/UK VAT Manager for WooCommerce then shows the field on the My Account registration form. This is a free feature.

Turn it on #

  1. Go to WPFactory > EU VAT (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EU VAT), on the General sub-tab.
  2. Enable Add EU VAT field to sign-up form (alg_wc_eu_vat_field_signup_form).
  3. Save changes.

The field now appears on the WooCommerce registration form (My Account) using the same label and placeholder as the checkout field.

Validate the number at sign-up #

To validate the number when the account is created, go to the Validation sub-tab and confirm Validate at sign-up form (alg_wc_eu_vat_validate_sign_up_page) is set to Yes. It is on by default. You can also enable Validate in “My account” (alg_wc_eu_vat_validate_my_account) so a saved number is re-checked when the customer edits their account details.
