Skool VAT Update for European Members | Higher Price at Checkout
I want to give you a heads up on something you may start noticing, especially if you have members joining from Europe. Some European customers will now see VAT added at checkout. This can make the final price higher than what’s shown on your About page. For example, someone might see $199, but when they go to pay, the total is higher based on their country’s tax rate. The percentage is not the same for everyone. You might see 19%, 20%, 21% or other variations depending on where the customer is located. This is happening because Skool is acting as the merchant of record, which means they are required to collect VAT for many EU customers based on the customer’s location. As Andrew Kirby shared: “Your new customers will have this information on their invoice. Previous customers won't show VAT on them because Skool is responsible for VAT on all those existing payments and was paying for it out-of-pocket while we setup our system and registered for sales tax collection in the EU.” 📣 A few important things to know: This applies to EU customers, not all of Europe UK customers are not affected in the same way This applies to new customers going forward The VAT will show on their invoice Previous customers will not suddenly see VAT added to past payments The tax is based on the customer’s location, not yours This is not an extra fee being taken from you The main thing to be aware of is the buyer experience. If someone expects one price and then sees a higher total at checkout, it can create confusion or hesitation, especially if you are marketing with phrases like “ONLY $199” and that is not what they end up paying. Nothing you need to change right now, but it’s worth knowing so you are not caught off guard if someone asks. That is why I'm making this post. 👇 Have you had any members mention this yet?

To be honest, I did wonder why it took so long to catch up with this, but It's the buyer experience Skool needs to get right. Adding 20/21/22% etc will add more friction, so the messaging needs to be on point and very clear.

@Jennifer Maillet Possibly, but just more friction. The messaging just needs to be clear that anyone in the EU buying digital products has to pay VAT, and if peeps in the EU want to come up with a workaround then that's up to them, but we as creators do not want to be suggesting it, for obvious reasons.

How To Catch Spammers Fast In Skool Membership Requests
When you are on any online platform, we all know by now there is bound to be spam. People talking about dropshipping, asking you to move to WhatsApp, saying “Hello dear,” and sending messages that clearly do not belong in a real community space. Some of the common questions Skool community owners and admins have about dealing with spam are: How do I stop spammers in my Skool community? How can I tell if a Skool membership request is fake? What is the best way to prevent spam DMs in Skool? How do I use Skool’s features to reduce spam? Well Skool just released a new feature update that helps community owners spot spam accounts directly inside Skool membership requests. You can now see when a profile is marked as high risk for spam before approving them, which makes protecting your Skool community much easier. Before this update, one of the best ways to identify fake accounts was by checking location details through chat. Many spammers say they are from one place, but their profile data shows something completely different. That extra step worked, but it took more time. Now the process is faster and clearer. See the photo to see how the locations do not match. This is a simple example of how spotting these red flags early can help you stop spam accounts before they ever get inside your community. You can also put smart systems in place alongside this new feature. Setting level requirements for things like sending direct messages or posting in your Skool community helps reduce spam and protects your members. Requiring people to reach a certain level before they can message others or post gives you more control, saves time, and keeps your community focused on real conversations instead of cleanup. Personally, I recommend setting the chat level to at least 4. This gives you a better chance of spotting accounts that try to comment back and forth quickly just to level up and unlock messaging. It also gives real members time to get to know each other inside the community before moving straight into private messages.

Hello dear, 😂 great post. . I've already seen it in action and appears that it's far more accurate than check the 'chat', which was often out of line, but was not spam.
