    Hello,
    We are testing your great plugin. Your plugin is great.
    On VAT Number Validation tab, VIES Validation is a great feature, but we have no idea how to use the feature.
    We have a US company and a valid VAT number, but we can’t find the option (e.g United states) on the drop-down list box, you know, all of them are EU countries.
    My question is that, how to communicate with the VIES service to validate EU VAT numbers if we are a US company?

    If you’re referring to the VAT number in the EU VAT Assistant settings, you don’t have to populate it. If you enter a valid EU VAT number in that field, the VIES service will return a consultation number as a “proof of validation” when a customer enters a valid EU VAT number at checkout.

    The VIES service only supports EU VAT numbers, therefore you can’t enter a US one in the settings. In that case, you can just leave it empty. The validation will work anyway, the VIES service simply won’t return a consultation number.
