The EU/UK VAT Manager for WooCommerce adds order-level VAT tools for the store admin and a set of advanced switches for tricky hosting or caching cases. In current versions these live on two separate sub-tabs, Admin and Advanced, at WPFactory > EU VAT (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > EU VAT).
Admin sub-tab #
| Label | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meta box (order edit page) | alg_wc_eu_vat_add_order_edit_metabox |
No | Free |
| Column (orders list) | alg_wc_eu_vat_add_order_list_column |
No | Free |
| VAT validation for orders created manually from admin | alg_wc_eu_vat_validate_vat_admin_side |
No | Free |
| Admin new order email | alg_wc_eu_vat_admin_new_order_email |
No | Free |
The same Admin sub-tab also links to two references: the Field ID used for EU VAT (_billing_eu_vat_number), the Tools > EU country VAT Rates tool for adding standard EU rates, and the WooCommerce > Reports > Taxes > EU VAT report. It also documents the multilingual [alg_wc_eu_vat_translate] shortcode.
Advanced sub-tab #
- Debug (
alg_wc_eu_vat_debug): writes a log you can read at WooCommerce > Status > Logs. - Force VAT recheck on checkout (
alg_wc_eu_vat_force_checkout_recheck): re-validates on each checkout, useful with dynamic caching. - Sitepress optimizer dynamic caching plugin (
alg_wc_eu_vat_sitepress_optimizer_dynamic_caching): a compatibility toggle for that caching plugin. - Manual validation of VAT numbers (
alg_wc_eu_vat_manual_validation_enable) and VAT numbers to pass validation (alg_wc_eu_vat_manual_validation_vat_numbers): treat a defined list of numbers as valid. - Checkout block field (
alg_wc_eu_vat_enable_checkout_block_field): registers the field for block-based checkout.
All Admin and Advanced options here are part of the free version.
VAT shifted text #
The VAT shifted text option (alg_wc_eu_vat_advanced_vat_shifted_text, default VAT Shifted) lives on the Compatibility sub-tab, alongside the PDF invoice integrations. It sets the reverse-charge wording added to invoices.
