Perch Shop - Tax Inclusive/Exclusive Makes No Difference

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble getting the prices on the Perch Shop I have set up to display as expected.

I was intending on having the item and shipping cost display, without displaying tax to the user - I thought this would be achievable using the 'Prices entered as Tax Inclusive' option, although that doesn't seem to be working. Regardless of whether I choose Tax Exclusive or Tax Inclusive, prices are always shown as less than entered, e.g an £80.00 product displaying with a subtotal of £66.67.

Is there something I'm missing when I'm entering prices for products?

Here's my diagnostics report (summary):

That checkbox indicates to Perch whether the prices you enter into the form when adding a product are inclusive or exclusive of tax. It's not necessarily directly related to how prices are output in your template - that depends on what you're doing in your template.

Can you show us how you're outputting prices?

Hi Drew,

Sure, no worries - the Subtotal is the issue here:

<div class="fifty-percent-wrapper">


<perch:if id="product_count" match="gt" value="0">
    <h2>Your cart (<perch:shop id="item_count" />)</h2>
    <perch:form id="cart" app="perch_shop">



        <perch:input type="submit" value="Update" hidden="true" aria-hidden="true" />

    <div class="cart-item">
            <perch:cartitems>
                <perch:cartitem id="image" type="image" width="80" height="80" density="1.6" crop="true" output="tag" /><perch:cartitem id="sku" />
                        <b><perch:cartitem id="title" /></b>
                        <p><i><perch:cartitem id="variant_desc" /></i></p>


                        <button type="submit" class="remove_cart" name="del:<perch:cartitem id="identifier" />" value="1">
                            Remove 
                        </button>
                    <perch:input id="qty:<perch:cartitem id="identifier" />" value="<perch:cartitem id="quantity" />" type="number" min="0" />


            </perch:cartitems>
            </div>
            <!-- /div.cart-item -->





            <perch:label for="discount">
                Discount code
                <perch:input type="text" id="discount_code" />
            </perch:label>


        <perch:input type="submit" value="Update" />




            <perch:if id="total_discounts" match="gt" value="0.00">
                                        <p>Discount (<perch:shop id="discount_code" />)

                        <perch:shop id="total_discounts_formatted" /></p>

                        <p>Discount

                        <perch:shop id="total_items_discount_formatted" /></p>

            <perch:else />

                        <p>Subtotal

                        <perch:shop id="total_items_formatted" /></p>

            </perch:if>


                <p>Shipping

                        <perch:shop id="shipping_with_tax_formatted" /></p>

                    <h3>Total

                    <perch:shop id="grand_total_formatted" /></h3>



    </perch:form>

    <p>
        <a href="checkout">Checkout now</a>
    </p>

<perch:else />
<h1>Your cart</h1>

<p>Your cart is empty.</p>
</perch:if>


</div>

Is it grand_total_formatted that you have an issue with?

Does <perch:showall /> show you the price variation you're looking for? There are a lot of options in there.

Morning Drew,

total_items_discounted_with_tax_formatted is the closest HTML tag that I can find in the output from <perch:showall />, but this isn't exactly right - I need to show prices with tax added, and then show discounts (including tax) if a discount is applied.

I can use total_discounts_with_tax_formatted to show the discounts including tax, but I need to show the total_items_formatted with tax.

  • Is there an option for this?

If you don't see it listed there then no, there's not an option for it. But that sounds strange - there should always be both with and without tax options listed.
