Local taxes for in store pickup shipping method

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5

Hi,
I am setting up online store for our business in Quebec that also has a real store. Sales taxes are calculated based on customer's shipping address. Customers from Quebec province pay 2 taxes GST and QST. Customers from other Canadian provinces pay only GST. Customers from other countries do not pay sales tax. How to set this up is well explained in Hickshop documentation and this part is working.

The problem I am having is when non-Quebec based customer is in town and after paying online comes to pick up the item from the store (we had several such cases in the past). While shipping address of such customers is outside Quebec, they still should pay both taxes GST and QST.

I configured HikaShop manual shipping plugin as In Store Pick up shipping method, set Override shipping address to Your shop address (which is in Quebec) and set Override tax zone to QST, however this does not have effect.

If you check attached screenshot, the behavior I am expecting is like this:
Customer is logged in with let's say US shipping address. If customer chooses UPS shipping method, the cart should look as on the image, however if customer switches to In Store Pickup option, GST and QST taxes have to appear in the cart and the Total has to be recalculated.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
I tried the new code and can see the difference. Now, when I switch between UPS and Store pick-up shipping methods at checkout, customer's shipping address changes, from actual address to store address. This is correct, however the taxes still do not show up in the cart when In store pick-up option is selected.
My In store pickup shipping method has "Override shipping address" set to "Your shop address" and in "Override tax zone" field I tried both - state Quebec and then Tax zone Quebec.

Thanks.

Hi again,
There is still one issue of how all this works and please advise if it can be fixed by configuration change, or requires further code updates.

My understanding is that Login step in Checkout process has to precede Shipping, because applicable shipping methods are presented based on customer's address.
Store pick-up shipping method is always available and looks like, since it does not require outgoing API calls, it is the 1st one that is getting assigned and selected. Shipping methods order affects only the order in which shipping methods are presented to customer, not which of them is selected by default.

The fact that Store pick-up shipping method is selected right away causes customer's Shipping address to change to store address immediately after login and there is no drop down list to switch back to customer's actual shipping address. It is not obvious at all that changing shipping method in the next step will affect shipping address.

Ideally this should be resolved by adding store address as an additional option to any customer's shipping address drop down list. If this requires too much changes, the easier way may be not to select any of shipping methods by default. Let customer choose one of shipping methods and then update shipping address and taxes if needed.

Thanks.
Best regards,

Access levels are available in Business version only and I am not there yet

Thanks.

I finally figured out how to set it up:
System->Configuration->Main-Taxes-> Type of address used for tax is set to Billing
System->Shipping methods->Manual Plugin has Override shipping address set to No and Override tax zone set to 864 Quebec.

Thanks again for all your support!

Hi Nicolas,

My customer just purchased Joomla template from bdthemes.com that contains Hikashop Business 3.0.1 [1703141408]

How can I get your fixes into this build?

Thanks.

Just found the note on bdthemes.com that their Business version of Hikashop is for demo purposes only and customer needs to purchase Business version from you, if he needs it.

Thanks.

Hi Jerome,
It looks like Holax template from BDThemes contains Hikashop business in holax_quickstart_j365.zip file. The reason I am saying this is on attached image.

As for the note I was referring to in the previous post - here it is themeforest.net/item/holax-multipurpose-...te/11566009/comments
My initial understanding of these posts was that customer purchased the template, it came with business edition and he is asking how to upgrade it to the latest version. However, after re-reading these messages few more times I am not so certain anymore.

You may want to make a test purchase from them and check yourself.

Thanks.
Best regards,
B.G.
