EU Digital-Goods VAT (MOSS) for WooCommerce

Recursos Principais

Destination-country VAT applied to digital (B2C) orders shipped to EU consumers, overriding WooCommerce's single store tax class via woocommerce_product_get_tax_class and woocommerce_matched_rates filters

Per-country digital VAT rate table for all 27 EU member states, kept in a custom rates store and editable from a dedicated wp-admin settings screen

Two-piece location evidence capture at checkout — billing country, geolocated IP, and (where the gateway exposes it) payment/BIN country — with non-contradiction validation

Evidence stored against each order in HPOS custom order tables (with classic post-meta fallback) for the EU 10-year retention requirement

Live VIES VAT-number validation for B2B buyers, applying the reverse-charge exemption and recording the VIES response code and timestamp

MOSS/OSS quarterly report generation grouped by destination country and rate, exported as CSV/XML for One-Stop-Shop submission

Scheduled WP-Cron aggregation job so reports build incrementally rather than scanning the whole order table on demand

Digital vs physical product flagging via a product-edit meta box, so only true digital goods follow the MOSS rules

Checkout-blocking conflict handling — configurable to warn or hard-stop when the two evidence signals disagree

Order-level audit trail (rate applied, evidence sources, VIES result) exposed in the order admin and via the WooCommerce REST API

WPML and WooCommerce multilingual / multi-currency aware, so the correct VAT shows in the buyer's locale

Gateway-agnostic — works alongside Stripe, PayPal, Mollie or your existing WooCommerce payment plugin without replacing it

Sobre este Produto

Selling e-books, software, courses or downloads to EU consumers means you owe VAT at the buyer's destination-country rate — not your home rate — from the very first sale, with no threshold. WooCommerce core can't do this: its tax engine applies a single store tax class and has no concept of the EU's two-piece-of-non-contradictory-evidence rule or the MOSS/OSS return. This plugin closes that gap.

ECOSIRE builds, installs and configures this plugin directly on your WordPress site — it is not an instant marketplace download. Once live, it hooks into WooCommerce's tax pipeline via woocommerce_product_get_tax_class and woocommerce_matched_rates to override the rate for digital line items, resolving the correct per-country VAT rate at checkout for all 27 member states.

At checkout it captures two independent location signals — billing country plus geolocated IP (and, where available, the payment/BIN country) — flags any conflict, and stores all evidence against the order in HPOS custom order tables (with legacy post-meta fallback) so your records survive the standard 10-year EU retention requirement.

For B2B sales, buyers can enter a VAT number that is checked live against the EU VIES service; a valid number applies the reverse-charge exemption and records the validation response. A scheduled WP-Cron job aggregates qualifying orders into a MOSS/OSS quarterly report (CSV/XML) per country and rate, ready for your One-Stop-Shop submission.

Everything is compatible with HPOS, WPML/multisite, and your existing gateway. ECOSIRE delivers it tested on a staging copy of your store, then deploys to production with a rollback point.

Perguntas frequentes sobre EU Digital-Goods VAT (MOSS) for WooCommerce

How long until the plugin is live on my store?

Because this is built to order for your specific WooCommerce, WordPress, PHP and gateway versions, typical delivery is about 5 to 10 business days from when we confirm requirements and get staging access. We build and test on a copy of your store first, then deploy to production with a rollback point. Complex setups (unusual gateways, heavy customizations, multisite) may add a few days, and we tell you the estimate up front.

Do you provide ongoing support and updates?

Yes. The one-time build price includes a warranty window for fixes to anything we delivered. Beyond that, ECOSIRE offers ongoing support and maintenance — keeping the plugin compatible with new WooCommerce/WordPress releases, updating VAT rates when member states change them, and adjusting reports if OSS requirements change. Because we host the code on your site, you are never locked out of your own store.

Does this work with WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables)?

Yes. Evidence and VAT details are written to the HPOS custom order tables when HPOS is enabled, with a classic post-meta fallback for stores still on legacy storage. We confirm which mode your store runs during the build and test against it.

How does the two-evidence rule actually work at checkout?

EU rules require two non-contradictory pieces of location evidence for digital B2C sales. The plugin captures the billing country and a geolocated IP, and where your gateway exposes it, the payment/BIN country. If the signals disagree it flags the order; you choose whether that simply warns or hard-stops checkout. All sources and the resolved country are stored against the order for audit.

What about B2B sales to other EU businesses?

When a buyer enters a VAT number, the plugin validates it live against the EU VIES service. A valid number applies the reverse-charge exemption (no VAT charged) and records the VIES response and timestamp on the order. Invalid or unverifiable numbers fall back to standard consumer VAT so you are never under-charging by mistake.
