We are based in the US and need to collect sales taxes in certain states. We also need to add shipping insurance for many of our products. Shipping insurance in the US is calculated only on the total of product prices, not including taxes. In PrestaShop 1.6, the cart OrderTotal contains the total cost of products PLUS TAXES. OrderTotal is then passed to the shipping module (USPS) to query the cost of shipping method plus shipping insurance. Because OrderTotal is larger than the total cost of products in the cart, the incorrect value is obtained for shipping insurance. How can we calculate an OrderTotal that doesn't include taxes? Or, is there another variable that is a total cost of products in the cart without tax, which can be passed to the shipping module? Or, how do we create one? Please, we are grateful for any help and suggestions. Scott

After much searching and looking at code, this issue is fixed for me. It turned out that I had earlier copied some recommended code from the forum on how to alter the formatting of prices. The poster, not being from the US, provided code that did not exclude taxes in the product prices. After I added "_tax_exc" to $product.price to get "$product.price_tax_exc" in a few tpl's, it worked perfectly. It would have helped it I examined the code to start with.

We need to add a tax for a single state only in the US. The tax should only be displayed and added during checkout. I have followed the instructions and suggestions on how to apply taxes, but it still does not work correctly in PrestaShop 1.6.1.10. We will be unable to use PrestaShop if it can't handle taxes properly in the US. The way it works now is, if a customer logs into his/her account and their delivery address matches the state where taxes must be collected, the prices for all products site-wide are increased by an amount that approximates the tax (it's not even the correct amount); this is without adding any items to the cart. It should not be this way, in the USA at least. Product prices should never be adjusted by taxes. Taxes should only be displayed during checkout. When products are added, the tax rule is selected in the Prices section. Localization > Taxes and Tax Rules, only the state where taxes must be collected is enabled. In Customers > Groups > Customer, Price display method "Tax excluded" is selected. Under Tax Rules for the state, I added a new tax rule to apply "This tax only" to United States, Massachusetts with the corresponding tax of 6.25%. Downloading the location pack with "Change the behavior of the taxes displayed to the groups" checked had no effect. Using a custom theme or default-bootstrap made no difference. Clearing the cache had no effect. Can anyone confirm that PrestaShop 1.6 has the ability to add a tax for a single state and show this tax only during checkout? If so, are there any examples?

The tax was added to all product prices site-wide. How do you show the tax ONLY during checkout?

Changing price display is set to "Tax excluded" (PS 1.6.1.10) and it still adds in the tax. Both "Tax excluded" and "Tax included" produce the same value, with tax included. Please, any help?

I have the same problem; unable to show taxes separate from the product price. Is any solution?

I've been searching for a module for getting the correct shipping costs from USPS for a few weeks now and have not found one that works well. I've tried a couple paid modules but they don't provide correct shipping estimates and don't allow for added shipping services (e.g., insurance) to be added. I'm trying to work with the developers but it doesn't look like it's going to work. If you rely on shipping via USPS and need extra services from them, there isn't a module for PrestaShop that will do it at this time. Therefore, PrestaShop may not be the eCommerce solution for you if you use USPS with extra services; that is, unless you want to pay a separate company a monthly subscription (e.g., Stamps.com), which I have not tried.

I tried to come up with my own solution. It works but isn't pretty. Maybe someone can suggest a better way of writing it. In the global.css file, I copied and pasted this code, changing ".price" to ".saleprice": .saleprice { font-size: 14px; color: red; /* default black */ white-space: nowrap; font-family: "Roboto", sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0; } Edited file product.tpl, copying this code: <span id="our_price_display" class="price" itemprop="price" content="{$productPrice}">{convertPrice price=$productPrice|floatval}{/if}</span> And pasted it just below itself, and then edited both copies like this: <span id="our_price_display" class="price" itemprop="price" content="{$productPrice}">{if $productPriceWithoutReduction <= $productPrice}{convertPrice price=$productPrice|floatval}{/if}</span> <span id="our_price_display" class="saleprice" itemprop="price" content="{$productPrice}">{if $productPriceWithoutReduction > $productPrice}{convertPrice price=$productPrice|floatval}{/if}</span>

Maybe someone could quickly offer a file or folder where I should look. My guess is that it is JavaScript that switches the catalog and features list being fully shown in the left column when in regular/desktop view to a collapsed drop-down menu at the bottom in mobile view. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Scott
