EU VAT validation improvements for subscription merchants

What’s in this release

VAT validation now runs on subscription renewals. B2B customers who entered a valid VAT number at checkout will now have that validation re-run when their subscription renews — so their tax exemption stays accurate without any manual work on your end.

More flexible VAT number entry. Customers can now enter their VAT number with or without the country code prefix (e.g., DE123456789 or 123456789), and validation will still work correctly. Fewer formatting errors means fewer abandoned checkouts from B2B customers who typed their number in a different format.

Update the EU VAT Number extension to 3.0.3 to get these improvements.
