Managing EU VAT within your WooCommerce store necessitates efficient tools for record-keeping and analysis. Thankfully, your Pro plugin provides a robust set of “Admin Options” to streamline your workflow and gain valuable insights. This article explores these functionalities, equipping you to confidently administer EU VAT on your store’s backend.
Streamlined Access to VAT Information
- Meta Box: Enhance your order management by enabling the EU VAT number summary meta box on the admin order edit page. This provides quick access to relevant VAT details for each order.
- Column: Integrate an EU VAT number column directly into the admin order list for effortless VAT data visualization and filtering.
Multilingual Support (WPML or Polylang)
If your store utilizes WPML or Polylang for multilingual functionality, the plugin offers shortcode support for displaying messages in different languages. This ensures clear VAT communication for customers regardless of their chosen language.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Control
- Debug: Activate debugging to generate detailed logs within the WooCommerce > Status > Logs section. This aids in troubleshooting any VAT-related issues.
- Session Type: Select the preferred session type for handling VAT data: Standard PHP session (basic) or WC session (recommended for optimal compatibility with WooCommerce).
- Force VAT Recheck on Checkout: Enable this option to bypass potential caching issues and guarantee a fresh VAT validation every time a customer proceeds to checkout.
Manual VAT Validation and VAT Shifted Text
For specific scenarios, the plugin empowers you to
- Enable Manual Validation: Implement manual verification of VAT numbers for situations where additional checks are necessary.
- VAT Numbers to Pass Validation: Define a list of manually validated VAT numbers (separated by commas) to ensure they are always recognized as valid during checkout.
- VAT Shifted Text: Customize the text displayed when the VAT burden is shifted (e.g., reverse charge mechanism).
