Choose whether VAT ID validation is performed each time during order creation even if a previously saved customer address with validated VAT ID is used. The option applies to one-page checkout in the storefront, only.

During order creation in the Admin, no automatic validations are performed. Options include: Yes / No

(Available only if Current Configuration Scope is set to “Default Group.”) Choose whether the automatic change of customer group based on VAT ID will be enabled or disabled by default. The setting can be overridden on the product level. The setting influences the system behavior in the following situations:

• The VAT ID of the customer’s default address or the whole default address changes.
• Customer group change was emulated during the checkout for a registered customer who had no previously saved address or for a customer, who registered during the checkout.

If the automatic group change is disabled, the customer group that is assigned never changes, unless an administrator changes it manually.
