we had a small problem. and after contact we received the solution very fast.

thanks!
Plugin works great. Support is amazing, you don't get this level of dedication from plugin developers often. They listened to my problem, took hands-on approach and solved it specifically for my case.
When we insert a VAT number we keep getting the message that it is not valid.
Omar of WPWhale.com said: it seems the service needed for the VIES to work (SOAP client) isn’t available, this is happening more recently with web hosts, if you have cPanel hosting it should be easy by adding a PHP extension.
We added it and it works perfect!
Thx alot for the quick and right support!
