    Introduce Net-Authoritative Pricing for EU Anti-Geo-Blocking Compliance

    Merchants who display gross prices and ship to several countries will be able to choose whether the net or the gross price stays fixed when the destination VAT rate differs. This lets you run uniform net prices across EU countries while local VAT is applied correctly, without relying on plugins or per-country price rules. Existing shops keep their current behavior by default, so nothing changes on upgrade.
