Invoicing with InvoiceXpress for WooCommerce – Pro Changelog

9.0 – 2026-08-27

  • NEW Integration with VAT Number and EU VIES Validation for WooCommerce, our premium plugin and now our recommended way to collect VAT numbers for shops selling to businesses across the European Union. It validates VAT identification numbers for every EU country and confirms them against VIES, it provides the checkout field so the customer is asked only once, and its confirmation is what applies the EU B2B exemption to the invoice. Its Zero-Touch Migration reads the numbers this plugin already stored, so there is nothing to export or import

  • TWEAK The document sequence on an order says “None (InvoiceXpress default)” instead of “Use default (none)”
