How to collect sales tax by City not zipcode or state

[kyaj323]

Hi All,

 

Any way to configure PrestaShop to collect sales tax based on the delivery city name?

I don't want to break it down by zip code.

 

 

Thank you,

Native PS does not support city level taxes.  Here is paid module but there may be others

Taxes  ---> Tax Rules

You are free to set tax rules by country and city.

ZHSoft - There is no option by City. Its only state and zip/postal code range.

 

I purchased the TaxCloud module, however, it broke the checkout after filling the addresses.

Check out page loads.

fill Personal information and continues

fill addresses. after clicking continue, I get this page isnt working. HTTP error 500

When i disable the taxcloud module i am able to get through the checkout.

 

I did email the developer, however, I may get a quicker reply here.

 

Thank you,

K

Be patient with developers response it's Sunday and consider time zones.  They will need access of course.  We always load module to a staging copy to test.  If you don't have one and while waiting for response build a copy of your shop.  There you can replicate issue and give the developer space to work.

All.will be fine.

El Patron - Can you direct me how to create a dev environment.  I would do it as a subdomain and utilize the web hosting company.

Hi @kyaj323, 

 

Subdomain is just fine, however make sure you avoid caching from google perspective. Either use a proper robots.txt or put the dev shop into maintenance. We usually use the first option, especially if any speed testing is needed. In your first post you mention that the new module broke the checkout. what was the error related to it ? Please enable the debug mode once you encounter the 500 error, and press refresh. 

Make sure you paste the error here as screenshot. 

My guts' are telling me it's  missing database column. 

Cheers, 

Leo

To add to LEo advices.

There are numerous how to topics on cloning your prestashop. For example

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/313999-tutorial-how-to-clone-your-shop-for-upgrades/

 

For robots google no follow all.  We also make this read only so it does not get updated by admin.
