Displaying customer VAT number

[GPMjohanna]

How can I get customers' VAT number displayed

 

1) on the invoices

 

on customer information page in back office

 

According to EU law, both seller's and buyer's VAT id must be on the invoice and both have to make the IntraStat where the VAT number is also needed - right now it doesn't show on the invoice and I cannot find a registered customer's VAT number anywhere in the customer information?

 

Can anyone help?

Is there any module for e.g. intra-eu tax calculation / vat number capture so that PS could work so that I as merchant can comply to EU laws? I saw someone else changing to OpenCart just because this issue has not be solved in PS and in OC it works fine.

 

Is there any way of getting in touch with the developer of the PS VAT-module? Could it maybe be modified?

in addition to what tuk666 said: it's a part of default prestashop installation

if you haven't got it, you can download it here:

Any tips on solving the first issues GPMjohanna asked?

I am on  PS 1.6 and I need to display customerst VAT number in invoices and if possible also in backoffice inside customer information.

Please let me know if you have any advice.

 

Thanks!

just found a way to deal with it, here is a solution:

 

Go to backoffice Localization -> Countries -> choose country to modify -> Address format.

I already had included VAT number but I tried to include DNI at the bottom and it works

 

If you don't want to leave the number alone, without a tag you can edit pdf/invoice.tpl

and below each:

line 41 --> {$delivery_address}

and

line 46  --> {$invoice_address}

and again

line 56 --> {$invoice_address}

 

I just added the text I wanted, in my case "- NIF/DNI"

This way the address will appear like this:

 

XXXXXXXXX - NIF/DNI

 

Just in the invoice of course inside the backoffice the number will appear alone with no tag

 

hope it will help someone
