Hello,
Is there any add-on besides the built-in one that would check the customer base by VAT number locally? For example in Poland? It turns out that not all VAT payers are in the European base?

Hi,

I don't know of such plugin. But before talking about such plugin, is it actually possible to check the VAT number locally ? Is there an API provided by the Polish administration like there is for the Europe wide system ?
What you can do is changed the check to only "format check". That way it will verify that the VAT number looks like a valid VAT number and in that case it will allow numbers that are enabled only for Poland and aren't in the vies database.

Hi Nicolas,
thank you for your response.
Yes, there is a Polish API. Unfortunately, the current solution, despite the correct VAT number, shows that it cannot verify the payer. Probably the problem is with the data source. As I found out, work is underway on an add-on that will do it properly :)
Best Regard
