Hi,
My site is close to production, before I buy Business version.
Could you give me explanations about the best way to use for products pricing.
Do I have to enter product prices without VAT ?

My project is relating to a real shop sellings to public (only in France). So all products are VAT included.
On the website, I want to display prices like in the real shop.
If I configure a standard VAT for France (19.6%) it's added to all of my products.
Therefore a 100€ product VAT included is displayed at 119.6€ instead of 100€.

I could changed my VAT to 0%, but is there a global way to avoid VAT to be added to all products (Not doing it product by product) ?

I would like also to display in my invoices :
- Price without VAT
- VAT amount
- Total with VAT

Thanks for help.
Regards

Hi,

Yes, you have to enter your products prices without VAT. Then, the VAT system will add automatically the VAT on the front end.

If you already have all your prices with VAT, you could change them rapidly with a MySQL query in your PHPMyAdmin like that:
UPDATE jos_hikashop_prices SET price_value = price_value/1.196;

If you want to change the way the VAT/total is displayed in your invoices, you can edit the file "invoice" of the view "order" for your back end template via the menu Display->Views and change the code there to your needs.
