Remove VAT field and self certification for Cart total = 0
-
Hi,
I am trying to remove vat field and self certification feature if carts total is 0.
0$ is achived with a deduction coupon.
My client wants free product option with only name, surname and email address.So i tried this in functions.php, with no luck:
global $woocommerce; if ( 0 != $woocommerce->cart->total ) { $aelia_euva = Aelia\WC\EU_VAT_Assistant\WC_Aelia_EU_VAT_Assistant::instance(); remove_action('woocommerce_checkout_billing', array($aelia_euva, 'woocommerce_checkout_billing'), 40); }Same logic in checkout-self-certification-field.php and checkout-eu-vat-field.php removes fields. But I want to do it in an elegant way ??
Another problem is that after removing these functions from the cart, certification validation is still active and stops order from completition.
Can you please guide me with the solution ?

@arigold23 toe be precise, that’s not a problem, but a customisation. ??
If you need a template for the filter, to get started, you should be able to use this one:
/** * Sets the VAT number field as "not required" when the cart total is zero (or * less; which should never happen, but better to cover that case). * * @param bool is_vat_number_required Indicates if the VAT number is required. * @param string country The billing country selected at checkout. * @return bool */ add_filter('wc_aelia_euva_order_is_eu_vat_number_required', function($is_vat_number_required, $country) { // Make VAT number "not required" if the cart total is zero if(WC()->cart->total <= 0) { $is_vat_number_required = false; } return $is_vat_number_required; }, 10 2);It looks like my example is missing a comma. Small oversight, here’s the fixed code:
/** * Sets the VAT number field as "not required" when the cart total is zero (or * less; which should never happen, but better to cover that case). * * @param bool is_vat_number_required Indicates if the VAT number is required. * @param string country The billing country selected at checkout. * @return bool */ add_filter('wc_aelia_euva_order_is_eu_vat_number_required', function($is_vat_number_required, $country) { // Make VAT number "not required" if the cart total is zero if(WC()->cart->total <= 0) { $is_vat_number_required = false; } return $is_vat_number_required; }, 10, 2);Regarding your implementation, I’m afraid that your code might not work. As I wrote already, you should not remove the field via PHP, as that can cause issues. That approach is not a supported solution, and we would not recommend to use it.
You might want to have a look at an article we posted today on the topic: WooCommerce EU VAT Assistant – Make VAT number optional when cart total is zero. It shows how to make the VAT number optional without hacking the page rendering.
Yes. We tested on our development servers, on sites with WordPress, WooCommerce and EU VAT Assistant, it works fine. It’s marked as a “proof of concept” because it was written to illustrate a possible approach to cover the scenario you described.
This kind of modification is a customisation, outside the scope of the support service we can provide on this forum. We wrote it as a courtesy, for the benefit of anyone who might need it, so that they can use it as a starting point and tailor it to their specific needs.
I respectfully disagree. What you describe is not a bug, nor a problem, but a customisation. If you choose to make the VAT number required, then you must keep in mind that are making it always required, and that’s by design. If you wish to make it required in specific circumstances, we showed how you can do so, so your custom scenario of “cart with zero total” can also be supported.
The EU VAT Assistant might not fulfil your exact needs, but it’s working as intended (and, as demonstrated, you can customise it as you like). If the feature you need will make it in a future version, even better, but we can’t make promises about it.
