To show certain payment methods only to customers with a valid VAT number, go to WPFactory > EU VAT (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EU VAT), General sub-tab, Payment Methods section.

- Find the Payment Methods section.
- Enable Show specific payment method only if VAT is valid (

How it behaves #
The selected methods are shown only when the VAT number validates. Customers without a valid number see the remaining, unrestricted methods. Always keep at least one payment method that is available to everyone, so buyers without a VAT number can still check out.
