Show Prices On Order Form Tax Inclusive

[PauloV]

Hello,

 

In Blesta we dont have an option to show prices with Tax Inclusive (Price + TAX), on order forms,

 

This is a very easy tax and it ould be cool if it could for exemple show the price withou tax, and below show a small price with tax inclusive, and vice versa (for people that like price inclusive and people that like tax exclusive)

 

Exemple of order form prices with Tax Inclusive, with the Portugal tax at 23% :

 

Price: 1.23€

(excl. vat 1.00€)

 

Exemple of order form prices with Tax Exclusive, with the Portugal tax at 23% :

 

Price: 1.00€

(incl. vat 1.23€)

 

 

This is a very easy task, only add an extra option on Admin System Taxes to enable or not "Display prices with Tax inclusive on order forms"

And on order forms only add a new field to get the TAX and make the mat

 

 

In EU some prople need this, and I had a discussion 2 days ago on WebHostingTalk, and some people didnt go tru blesta because this issue (also because final invoices can be edited by clients, and blesta dosent supoport credit notes)

Maybe a dropdown menu or bullet points like:

Muck up code:

<form class="form-inline" style="margin-top:49px;width: 195px;padding-right:10px !important;">
  <div class="radio pull-left">
        <label>
          <input type="radio"> Include VAT
        </label>
      </div><div class="radio pull-right">
        <label>
          <input type="radio"> Exclude VAT
        </label>
      </div>
</form>

as VAT depend mostly of customer location, so display price with VAT should be done after customer registered or do login.

 

It very common having a sentence saying that price could be updated depending of customer location.

 

But I suppose it's really depend if you sell only local or global or both

If you choose to charge the customer different (inclusive VAT) prices depending on location (as opposed to absorbing VAT differences yourself, which should also be a configurable option), the customer should be able to just select his country.

Fine if it defaults to your own home location, or one determined by geo-ip, but the customer should be able to change it with 2 clicks, instead of requiring him to jump through hoops like registration.

 

Example from a big European hosting company:

@Max: love you idea

 

We also use Hetzner and this way is much better:

 

Wen a client goes to the Order Form, display a box with all Countries Flags or all Countries Names to force to choose the country of origin, wen selected a cookie is saved for 1 year (EU Cookie rules), and then the prices are displayed with the correct TAX Inclusive/Exclusive

 

@Lisencart; I also like your idea, but like serge says is country dependent

Yeah it should use say like GeoIP to detect country and show that country unless they are logged in then it uses that country.

Geoip is usless if you use a proxy

But its 90% of the time correct

My vote goes to a chart showing a selected flag of origin country, Or geopip with a warning to be able to select anouther origin country

If they are using a proxy to bypass the geoip there's nothing stopping them selecting the wrong country

[PauloV]

For example, for security propose I like to use a proxy

Google will release this year an option to use a proxy by default with all data secure and encrypted, and this way will be almost impossible

Wen someone order something anyone can put the rong data and its not the country flag or proxy or geoip its going to stop them.

We need an option that the client can vew the correct prices with the correct tax of the client country of origin

Yeah my idea was geoip for Non registered users

[serge]

yes, asking customer to select his country before to order is nice, the earlier we know his location the better it is.

 

Not certain about using IP to automatize it, certainly if using IP, it's still need to be seconded (second check & price update) at order step with location taken from user account (user registration / login).

 

Regarding script using ip, we can take inspiration from this: http://www.geobytes.com/iplocator/

they seem to be dead by today, but was they was able to do very custom message depending of IP

 

So idea for us could be to use short code to be able to display message depending of customer location (IP), so it could be:

- special discount for XXX country - coupon code CCCCCC

- special discount for XXX city - coupon code CCCC

- Price for given country/location

- etc...

 

 

from IP with geobyte, there was able to give script to include in template (java script), for display message depending of country, language, state, city, region, all of this from their ip database.

 

So in the example case of above special discount, we can display special discount like special discount to Florida US state, when by the way any US user will see such discount but for his own state, it's a king of general personalization. And can be utilized as well to display price very early to customers, but certainly price still should need to be updated when customer register or login (for prevent error from people using proxy).
