Schema for showing prices with/without VAT

[apollux]

Hello guys,

I've come upon an issue with Google Rich Results.

 

{block name='product_price'}
      <div
        itemprop="offers"
        itemscope
        itemtype="https://schema.org/Offer"
        class="product-prices-wrapper d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center"
      >
        <meta itemprop="priceValidUntil" content="{($smarty.now + (86400*15))|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d'}"/>
        <meta itemprop="availability" content="{$product.seo_availability}"/>
        <meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="{$currency.iso_code}"/>
        <meta itemprop="price" content="{$product.price_amount}"/>
        <link itemprop="url" href="{$product.link}"/>

        <span class="price product-price"><span class="current-price">{$product.price_amount} {l s='(tax incl.)' d='Shop.Theme.Global'}</span></span>
        {block name='product_unit_price'}
          {if $displayUnitPrice}
            <span class="product-unit-price sub">{l s='(%unit_price%)' d='Shop.Theme.Catalog' sprintf=['%unit_price%' => $product.unit_price_full]}</span>
          {/if}
        {/block}

{$product.price_amount} should list the price with VAT included, but instead, in Google Rich Results the price is show without VAT.

If I list {$product.price}, then the same price will appear in Rich Results test with a warning that it will show the currency sign too.

Does anybody know a way to actually display the full price?

Because this will interfere with Google Merchant Center if you have activated the autoupdate stock/price function, even if catalogue is uploaded.

Actually, VAT is activated on shop interface, including the usage of VAT from Products/Groups, etc. The price is displayed with VAT on product page, but somehow only in Google Rich Results the price can be seen without VAT.

Hi, I have the same problem, please anyone know the solution?

[apollux]

 There is no solution. If schema.org shows you that the price is right (inc. VAT), then Rich Schema by Google will show you the price without VAT because code sucks and Google sucks.

I like how nobody gives a damn about these core bugs.

Hello,

you probably have the same problem as I had in my store (found a solution).

Just tell me what country your store is in. Is it different from the USA?

Yes, it was and the issue was the price outside tax area. Google does not abide by international laws, which, in Europe means to sell without taxes to citizens outside the European Union.

So, of course my client had prices with VAT for internal and European customers and without for USA clients.

But, those are Google's issues, not Prestashop's.

If you do not sell to the USA, set the VAT rate (in the tax rules) for this country (google robot sees the page from the USA) the same as you have by default in your country.

This is a pretty good way to solve the problem.

I just applied this fix and it seems to have solved the issue. 

Will continue with testing and if it did not really solve it, I will comment back. 

Thanks @gs2k
