European VAT Number

This module enables your customers to fill in their VAT number in their details. The VAT can be fetched through a web service, based on your country.

The configuration screen is therefore quite straightforward:

• Your country. Choose your shop's country.
• Enable checking of the VAT number with the WebService. Tell PrestaShop that you want to retrieve the VAT for your country.

The VAT field appears only when the customer enters his or her company name in the address field.
