What it does
Selling digital products to customers in the EU means charging VAT at the rate of the buyer's country, which quickly gets complicated once sales come from many places. This plugin applies to EDD stores based inside or outside the EU. It detects the customer's location, applies the matching EU or UK VAT rate at checkout and, for business customers with a valid VAT number, removes the VAT so the reverse charge rules are followed.
Beyond the checkout, it collects location evidence such as postal and IP addresses and stores it alongside each order. You can view, manage and export this evidence and your VAT data from one place, which helps when an audit comes up. Invoices, payment confirmations and purchase receipts gain full VAT details, and built-in reports support MOSS returns and EC Sales Lists. It also covers subscription and recurring sales and works with EDD payment gateways, including Stripe and PayPal.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores selling to EU customers
- Software, ebook and digital product sellers with B2B buyers
- Subscription businesses handling recurring EU and UK sales
