Please check the screenshot attached where you’ll see the reply from YITH Support Team.

Both WoodMart and YITH are sending the problem back to each other.

Hello,

We also use the same hook, but it still doesn’t work. Did you test how it works with other checkout field editor plugins?

Kind Regards

I’m not using any other plugin. I’m using only your WoodMart checkout editor.

And even if I use other plugins, it doesnt make any point because it’s something not provided by default in WordPress and WooCommerce.

Usually you always ask us to try with default install, which we do. But here trying with other systems doesnt make sense because it’s a third-party customization.

So please contact YITH support because you are both rejecting responsability, but someone has to fix something in here.

In this case, we can mark this plugin as incompatible with our checkout manager as it doesn’t work with this mechanism in general. We can’t do anything in our theme’s code to fix this. The issue seems to be a conflict that arises from the way the YITH Point of Sale plugin and all checkout fields managers.

I’ve just tested the below free plugin Checkout Fields Editor :
https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/checkout-field-editor-and-manager-for-woocommerce/

And this FREE plugin is perfectly capable of detecting the “VAT Number” field from YITH Point of Sale.

So if this plugin can do it, then WoodMart Checkout Fields editor can do it.

Look at the staging below.

To fix this issue, you need to edit the file wp-content\themes\woodmart\inc\integrations\woocommerce\modules\checkout-fields\class-helper.php and add the line as shown on the screenshot https://monosnap.com/file/lIVsLcC1aSWVMIQ7nQbnFEwtuxQHaj

$fields = apply_filters( 'woodmart_default_checkout_fields', $fields, $current_tab );

After this, add the following snippet to the functions.php file in your child theme

add_filter(
	'woodmart_default_checkout_fields',
	function ( $fields ) {
		if ( ! function_exists( 'yith_pos_get_vat_field_label' ) ) {
			return $fields;
		}

		$fields['billing']['billing_vat'] = array(
			'field_name'  => 'billing_vat',
			'label'       => yith_pos_get_vat_field_label(),
			'description' => '',
			'required'    => false,
			'status'      => 'yes' === get_option( 'yith_pos_show_vat_field_on_frontend', 'yes' ),
			'type'        => 'text',
			'class'       => array( 'form-row-wide' ),
			'priority'    => 35,
		);

		return $fields;
	}
);

Now you need to reset all the configurations to the default and configure it from scratch.

So this code will go in my functions.php for now, but afterwards you will add this by default in your theme right?

The code works fine now. But please integrate this by default in your theme in next release.

We will add the filter to our theme’s code, but you will need to keep the code in the child theme anyway.
