greenplanet Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ...and I hate Megento for so many reasons. I'd much rather use prestashop except for the terrible way it handles taxes. Prestashop does not work very well for B2B shops it seems. I need to be able to seperate tax out onto a seperate line, this is a very important and basic feature for a B2B site, but at no stage during the whole process does it do this. So, I simply want to be able to do something this: Total Price: £90.00 Shipping: £10.00 Total (excluding VAT) £100.00 VAT: £20.00 Total (Including VAT) £120.00 Seems quite a simple thing to be able to do, but on the shopping cart summary and email confirmation you get none of this verbose tax info. If anyone can advise how to modify prestashop_new to show this tax info on the shopping cart summary, and also the email confirmation it would be greatly appreciated and would save me from magento hell!

BWT Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 So do you want the tax to display in the cart when the customer checks out?? or just on the confirmation emails that are sent after purchase?? You can edit the "MAIL" section to say whatever you want it too as well as the design on the "eMAIL". If you edit the mail remember you will need to do it for all languages you are using or one language will display one way and another language will display another way when used by customers and the emails that are sent out will be different from how you wanted them.

greenplanet Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for the response. There are two points during the order process when I want the tax info to be shown as per the original post. Firstly, on the shopping cart summary screen (the original default theme did this, but this has been removed on prestashop_new and despite hacking around in the shopping-cart.tpl file I cannot get this to display correctly), and also on the confirmation email sent to the customer (this is especially important). There is another topic for this, but it is quite complex and involves creating you own variables etc, so I need to know if there is a simple way of doing this or even a module which can achieve this.

Mike Kranzler Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi greenplanet, I checked with one of our developers, and this is certainly possible but would take a few hours of coding and testing to create it and fully ensure compatibility. If you would like, please do not hesitate to give us a call at 888 947 6543 and we'll be happy to refer you to a developer who has been certified by PrestaShop to help you make this a reality. I hope this helps. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Certainly you could do as mike suggested however I think i saw a module in the add-on section that might help you but can't remember what it was called have you looked through that section to see if a module has already been created to do as you need?? Try that first and let me know. Also There is a free module floating around that you can edit html version and text version of mail templates this might help you as well with a little searching you might be able to get this done for free or low cost.

greenplanet Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks tjg. I'll see if I can find the modules you mention. I don't mind paying for things, but when it is for something as basic as having tax on a separate line in an ecommerce site I'm a bit reluctant. Looking through the forums, there are a number of posts from UK based B2B sites asking for the same functionality, but all the threads hit a dead-end. I can only assume these users gave up in the end. Very frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etrfl Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Actually I came up with a dirty solution to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi etrfl, Can you please share your "dirty solution" for anyone else who may be having this issue? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etrfl Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hey Mike, I actually created a new thread in the English development forum (not sure if that was the right forum) located at: http://www.prestasho...n-cart-summary/ I haven't fully tested it yet as I am still working on the CSS issue for right borders.
