Price-Tax-Total Issue

[mp88]

I’m trying to justify numbers in all places through the BO, basically to look like this:

Price(s) – just a product price;

Tax(s) – if applicable, if not then zero;

Total – sum of above.

 

But we can get only this -> see attached. Numbers look very confusing for customer.

I thought, it is basic presta’s option, isn’t it?

May be I missed something?

 

Anyway, any tips to resolve it much appreciated.

 

(Presta 1.4.8.2)

Taxes should be excluded not included otherwise tax will be added twice.

Thanks for reply.

 

With "taxes excluded" option, cart block doesn't display tax line & add taxes, pls have a look at pics.

 

It seems, this straightforward way (Price+Tax=Total) to display calculation for customer is not an option in presta. ??

Besides even on the same page, the totals are not matching!

 

What is solution? Is the only option to change a code?

Did you add a tax rule to each product for your state.

 

When not logged in tax will not be added to the cart because it does not know what tax to charge.

I can almost guarantee this is a setting you have as my cart and taxes work perfectly.

You need to have tax excluded and figure out why tax is not added to cart.

Do you have tax enabled in payment, taxes.

There are so many reasons why this could happen and hard to fix from just your pics without seeing all your settings in the BO.

If you want I can take a look at your BO settings send me log in for Admin.

 

Here is a code that will display the tax line in cart reagrdless of tax included or not.

 

 

 

modules/blockcart/blockcart.php

 

 

 

Change this

 

else

$taxCalculationMethod = Group::getDefaultPriceDisplayMethod();

$useTax = !($taxCalculationMethod == PS_TAX_EXC);

 

To this

 

else

$taxCalculationMethod = Group::getDefaultPriceDisplayMethod();

$useTax = true; /*!($taxCalculationMethod == PS_TAX_EXC)*/;

Thank you for the tip to enable taxes in blockcart.

My I ask you 2 more questions? Would you mind to share:

1. where to change “Price” to “Total” in line “Cart: 1 product 105.00 USD”?
   
2. where to replace “Estimated Sales Tax” with “Tax (real tax name specified in BO)”?
   

I have attached the screenshot for details.

 

Thanks greatly for your time.

For item #1 you can change line 47 of ..modules/blockuserinfo/blockuserinfo.tpl to this {if $priceDisplay == 2} the cart will show price with tax not sure how to make it add shipping. It still works a little funny in that when placing item in cart it will only show product price on a page refresh or clicking on a link to load another page it shows product + Tax.

 

For item number 2 not sure what you mean by real tax name I assume you are referring to the State or Country.

Not sure that is possible but in themes/yourtheme/shoppingcart.tpl around line 103 you can change the text that is displayed.

Thank you for taking your time.

 

#1 after enabling taxes in blockcart (as you suggested) the cart shows price+tax already.

The description of this global variable says:

$priceDisplay (current price display settings [currency dependent]).

It just toggles the option: tax excluded=1 OR included = else, not sure if it =2, may be =0.

 

#2 under “real tax name” I meant BO>Payment >Taxes>Name: [Tax name to display in cart and on invoice, e.g., VAT]

I am having the same problem with tax adding twice but I don't see a solution for that here.  It shows in my cart before checkout and then adds it again once they select their payment method.
