- Automatically checks intra-community VAT numbers when creating/modifying addresses, ensuring database cleanliness with thorough validation. Avoid VAT scams with features like ISO country code matching, uppercase letters, and VIES validity check. New in v1.3.3: Addresses from outside EU are now easily identifiable with a yellow background.
Enables you to enter the intra-community VAT number when creating / modifying an address, and clean the VAT numbers in the database with a thorough check. Avoid very easily the VAT scams!
Features
This module allows VAT numbers to be checked when a customer records or modifies his address, but also the numbers already existing in the database (essential if you already have clients or if you import clients/addresses into the database)
The checked points are:
Verification of numbers is done on VIES, this can be long, so to improve performance, the module memorizes the validity of VAT numbers. Thus a number that has been tested and validated on VIES will no longer be retested on VIES. This functionality is required if you start the "Check VAT numbers" option in the module configuration. The check can also be done as a CRON task.
What's new in version 1.3.3 of the module: If a customer outside the European Union indicates in the VAT Number field something (company number for example), its registration is not blocked and in the back office you will be able to identify it very easily (the Background color of this address is yellow).
