Checkout details recorded with the order

WooCommerce Italian Add-on Premium adds a field for the customer's tax code or VAT number and lets customers select an invoice or receipt at checkout. The submitted details and document choice are stored with the WooCommerce order for later processing or export to an external management system. When a customer selects an invoice, the VAT number field is required.

For billing addresses outside the European Union, the shop can choose to exclude the tax code or VAT number fields. Selecting a receipt suspends automatic invoice numbering; numbering resumes for subsequent invoices.

Electronic invoicing fields appear under specific conditions

When electronic invoicing data collection is enabled, customers who request an invoice and are identified as Italian can enter a Recipient Code or PEC address. These fields are hidden in other cases.

Export order data in FPA1.2 format

The Premium edition provides verified XML export in FPA1.2 format, compliant with the specifications of Italy's Sistema di Interscambio. Exported data can be used with management software or directly with the Agenzia delle Entrate's Fatture e Corrispettivi service.

Order data can include the tax code or VAT number, Recipient Code or PEC address, selected invoice or receipt type, and customer type identified from the entered tax information.

Customize the receipt template

To adapt the receipt, copy the receipt.php file from the plugin's Simple template directory into the active theme or a child theme, then edit the copy.

Choose a document output process

For automatic PDF invoice generation, the add-on can be used with Ewout Fernhout's PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce. That extension can number invoices automatically and print or send them as PDF documents. The add-on can also be used without an automatic invoice-generation plugin; the collected details remain in WooCommerce orders and can be exported to an external system.

Install the add-on, configure the checkout fields and invoice or receipt choice for the store's sales process, and enable electronic invoicing data collection if needed. Review when the Recipient Code or PEC field appears. Configure the receipt template in the active theme or child theme, and optionally use a PDF invoice plugin for document output.
