BIT Check VATID for Virtuemart
Version 2.1.6
While the validation of a European VAT ID used to be a built-in option in Virtuemart 1.1, this feature is no longer available since Virtuemart 2.0.
This plugin lets your customers enter a VAT ID and checks its validity. The methods used are based on the original ones included in Virtuemart 1.1, but are enhanced and adapted.
Features:
- javascript based syntactic check of the entered ID and
- validation of the number using the service of a European server (optional)
- configurable error messages
- marking of invalid IDs
Important: This plugin only checks if the entered number is valid. If you would like to offer your products without tax for customers with a valid VAT ID, our plugin BIT Change Shopper Group for Virtuemart is required additionally. Tip: The package BIT Virtuemart2 EUVAT Package contains both plugins.
Note: This plugin doesn't work with all 3rd party One Page Checkout systems. If you're using one, please contact us before ordering.
