What It Does

This plugin adds everything you need for an Italian WooCommerce e-shop.

It includes the option to collect data necessary for electronic invoicing B2B, effective from January 2019.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair it with a module for automatic invoice generation, such as the free PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce plugin, which allows automatic numbering of invoices and printing or sending them in PDF format.

The plugin can also be used without an automatic invoice generation plugin. All necessary data is always recorded in WooCommerce orders, making it exportable to any external management system.

The Tax Code or VAT number is added to the checkout page. The customer can choose between Invoice or Receipt. If Invoice is selected, the VAT number field is mandatory.

If the option for collecting data for electronic invoicing is activated, a field for entering the Recipient Code or PEC of the customer is added when an invoice is required and the customer is Italian. This field is hidden in other cases.

If the customer has a billing address outside the EU, it is possible to choose to exclude the VAT number or Tax Code fields.

The PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce plugin allows defining the invoice templates. With this add-on, the receipt template must also be defined.
