Since version 5.8.0, the plugin can automatically derive the Peppol Endpoint ID (Participant ID) from the customer’s VAT number.
Currently, this feature supports Belgium (scheme 0208). Support for additional countries will be added in future updates.
Enabling automatic derivation #
Go to:
WooCommerce → PDF Invoices → E-Documents
Enable:
Automatic Endpoint ID Derivation
When enabled, the plugin will automatically generate the Peppol Endpoint ID whenever a valid VAT number is available.
Selecting countries #
The setting:
Select Countries to Automate Endpoint ID
defines which countries support automatic derivation.
Only VAT numbers from the selected countries will be used to generate Peppol Endpoint IDs.
Field location behavior #
The setting:
Customer Peppol Identifier Fields Location
controls whether the Endpoint ID field is visible and when derivation occurs.
