VAT ID Validation with Dynamic Net/Gross Pricing

I would like to suggest a feature that allows ARMember to validate VAT IDs during the membership registration or checkout process and dynamically adjust the payment amount (net or gross) based on the validation result.

Key Features:

  1. VAT ID Validation
    Integration with external services such as VIES (viesapi.eu) to validate VAT IDs in real-time during the registration or checkout process.

2.Dynamic Pricing
If the VAT ID is valid: The user pays the net amount (excluding VAT).
If the VAT ID is invalid or missing: The user pays the gross amount (including VAT).

  1. EU Compliance
    This feature would make ARMember more attractive to businesses operating in the EU, where VAT compliance is a critical requirement.

4.Seamless Integration
Ensure compatibility with popular payment gateways like PayPal, Stripe, etc., to handle net/gross pricing adjustments automatically.

  • Why is this important?
    Many businesses in the EU require VAT ID validation to comply with tax regulations. Having this feature built into ARMember would simplify the process for users, avoid the need for custom development, and make the plugin more competitive in the EU market.

  • Additional Benefits:
    Increased usability for businesses in the EU.
    Enhanced customer trust by ensuring compliance with tax laws.
    Potential to attract a larger customer base in regions where VAT rules are strict.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
