eStore – how to find out what country a purchase comes from?

[henryp]

Hi everybody – I have a fairly simple request for which I hope there is a solution out there.

For tax purposes I just need to know from what country each of my digital purchases (a download) come from. I could not find anything in the options that could help. Would there be a plug-in anyone knows about?

I really would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas

thanks!

You mean, like this?

Yes, like that. I had seen that add-on and was thinking of using. Only I think we are not adding the tax to the customer, it is rather for our own reference. Still I could set the tax at 0 then just have them select the country that way. Perhaps this is the best way to go. Thanks

Hi again , I am still yet to solve this one. I tried using the Table Rate Tax Addon but it has not worked. Seems like a bit of a convolutd workaround just to find out the country the customrs are from. Is there any other way for me to pull this info from? Seems like it should be simple…

(also – not sure why the plug in would not be working at all?)

If all you are trying to do is determine what countries are downloading files; why not use Google Analytics to track what countires, by IP address, access the download.php file?

You can find out which country the purchaser is coming from by checking the transaction record in the manager customers interface. Have you checked that interface?

Hi again, Ok thanks – I just checked out the transaction record. Found the IPs so I could find where the countries were from that. I also just set up Google Analytics which looks a little more efficient so I hope to get the hang of that and just use that.

Many thanks – I guess we can mark this as resolved.

Best,

henry

Does the eStore Table Rate Tax work with the IPN Paypal buttons.

How does it work?

What I want to do is account for EU VAT the best way I can. I do not need the cart but rather paypal subscription button as well as pay now buttons.

I know that the table rate tax can be set for all countries within paypal however I have a problem with the country im in (will not allow the VAT rate to be set for the country in which you have the paypal account). I need to calculate the VAT prior to getting to paypal as a result.

I guess what i need to know is if i use the buttons from estore for paynow and subscribe does this use the data from the table rate tax addon?

Also can the eStore Table Rate Tax also be used for eMember? It would be a nice option!

It only works for “cart” items so with “add to cart” buttons.

Also can the eStore Table Rate Tax also be used for eMember?

If you are using the eMember to eStore integration.
