HaCos Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hello, so far i have managed to implement taxes on product prices depending on user billing address. In order to do so, a visitor must log in first and set a biling address (thats happening on checkout). I have seen 'smarter' implementation in different sites and i would like to know if prestashop may support such cases. Case one is when a user is automatically geolocated by his ip and so the system know which price to serve and i if that price should has tax or not. Case two is setting a default country [ or ask user on first visit] for each session that a user can easily swtich without loging in that affect the product price + the tax. Has anyone resolved such a case of a different way? Regards, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuk66 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Geolocation is not 100% accurate. And also, the customer can buy goods on the road. I've also seen that mobile phones are sometimes located elsewhere because of operator's proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi tuk66, i 100% agree with you that why i believe that lettting a customer switching country option (case 2) may be a safer option, but is there such a fucntionality supported in prestashop?

El Patron Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 PrestaShop is the perfect storm for by country catalog pricing/taxes/shipping especially when we use 'specific price by country'. 9.99 in UK 14.99 in US etc. This allows us to set price differently per country based on factors like purchasing power or when mfg. requires different prices by country. things to be aware of when using native geo location: 1) non-resolved IP's are denied shopping. 2) see (1) otherwise it's wiz bang.... one can patch the controller to say set default shop country when IP not resolved or use module solution you can review so you understand better native geo location and what we can do with extended features. (solve 1 above). https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/193843-module-prestashop-geo-pricing-geo-target-specific-prices-by-country/ I find localization an interesting topic and hope I've helped...
