EU VAT CHECKER - check fail

[ec83]

Good morning,
while trying this extension https://extensions.virtuemart.net/shopper-order/orders/eu-vat-id-checker-detail I realized that at times depending on the origin of the VAT number (Germany, Belgium, . ..) that the European VIES service https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation does not respond. Registration is still accepted and the customer can order but he will have to pay VAT even though he certainly has a valid number. Does it often happen that the Europea site cannot respond to the VAT number test? I would love to have your feedback.

I would have liked to avoid moderation of the accounts by the administrator ... to activate the account once the VAT has been validated.

Thanks

I think it happens quite rare, but it happens. If you have lets say 100 customers a day, maybe 3-5 times a month.

The problem is, that according to the law, you have todo the check any new day. So the result is stored for a day.

Thank you for the feedback.

What do you mean by "the result is stored for a day"?

Thanks
