## WooCommerce doesn't produce an invoice — it produces a confirmation

That's the first surprise. The email your customer gets after ordering is an _order confirmation_, not a fiscal document. An invoice needs a sequential number with no gaps, mandatory legal mentions, the correct tax rate — and it must not change afterwards.

## But the real trap isn't the invoice. It's VAT

There is an EU-wide threshold for cross-border sales to consumers. Below it, you charge your national rate. Above it, you must charge **the rate of the country where your customer lives** — starting with the sale that crossed the threshold.

## And nobody warns you on that day

WooCommerce isn't counting. You find out months later, when someone adds up the numbers and realises you've been invoicing at the wrong rate ever since.
