README

Note: This module only validates the syntax of the VAT ID. It does not perform a VIES check to verify the validity of the VAT number.

For VIES validation, we recommend using the Geissweb EU VAT Enhanced for Magento 2 extension, along with the Hyvä Checkout Geissweb EU VAT Compatibility Module. Both extensions are required for full Hyvä Checkout compatibility.

This extension is designed to function alongside those extensions to ensure that a client cannot checkout with an incorrectly formatted VAT ID. This feature can be particularly useful for B2B projects.

Features

• VAT ID syntax validation for EU member states
• Easily translatable error messages
• Hyvä-compatible validation rules
• Non-EU countries bypass validation (always return true)

Installation

1. Prerequisites

Before you install this extension, make sure you have the following installed:

• Magento 2
• Hyvä Checkout v1.1.23 or higher

2. Install via Composer

To install this extension, run the following commands in your Magento 2 root directory:

composer require vendic/hyva-checkout-eu-vat-id-format-validator
bin/magento setup:upgrade

Configuration

No configuration is needed. The extension will automatically validate the VAT ID during checkout in the Hyvä Checkout form. The validation is based on the country selected in the checkout form.
