NIF (Num. de Contribuinte Português) for WooCommerce

79 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

5,000 active installs is modest but reasonable for a single-country checkout add-on, and it comfortably exceeds the popularity threshold for the category.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated June 2026 with a WordPress 7.0 compatibility tag, indicating the author is actively maintaining it against current core releases.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100 from 8 reviewers is encouraging but the small sample size limits how much weight the score carries.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and a 0% resolution rate is a real concern, as it suggests no public track record of responsive help if something breaks.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested up to WordPress 7.0 and requires PHP 7.2, which is a current and broadly compatible baseline.

What It Does

This plugin adds a Portuguese tax identification number field (NIF or NIPC) to the WooCommerce checkout and order admin screens whenever the billing country is Portugal. It validates the format and stores the value against the order so it appears on invoices, exports, and customer records.

Who It's For

It is built for Portuguese online stores and any WooCommerce business that invoices Portuguese consumers or B2B clients and needs the NIF captured for tax reporting, invoicing compliance, or B2B reverse charge workflows. Cross-border EU sellers who regularly serve Portuguese customers will also benefit.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not sell to Portugal or already capture NIF through a dedicated invoicing extension like WebToffee or WooCommerce PDF Invoices, this plugin is redundant. Stores that need full SAF-T export, VAT MOSS reporting, or multi-country tax validation should look at a broader tax compliance tool instead.

The Bottom Line

For Portuguese merchants who simply need a NIF field at checkout, this plugin does the narrow job well and carries a strong quality score of 79.07/100. The main caveat is the empty support record, so if you depend on quick developer help you may want to test it on a staging site first. For anything beyond a single checkout field, you will outgrow it.
