 * Hi,
    The plugin is working very well for the moment. What about the vat number
   verification by VIES. Apparently it doesn’t work on my website. Is it yet implemented?

 * Ok great!
    Yes the VIES check is implemented and working correctly here. Is there
   any protection on your site making the answer from VIES impossible ? Else please
   make the test and send me your debug.log file.

 * Ok then I would like to understand at which moment the verification by VIES is
   made.
    When you put a vat number valid or not do the system tell us at this moment
   that the number is valid or not? Or is it later?

 * 2 steps check:
    – 1) vat number format is validated when you either: – change
   the country – change the plan you are subscribing for – 2) vat number is checked
   against VIES database when you submit the form, and yes an error would rise if
   it cannot be checked, is there any ?
 * Thanks
