estore – receipt creator: how to display tax amount?

[monochrome]

In order to fullfill (german) legal requirements I need to display the tax amount on each invoice. How can this be done using receipt creator?

I’m using the latest version of the plugin (just downloaded today)

Hi, The tax is included in the total price which appears at the bottom of the receipt. In its current state the addon does not have any options to display tax separately. Do you want it to show sub total, tax, shipping and then the Total?

For a start it would be enough to display the amount of tax contained in the total to fulfill my countries legal requirements.

So, a line that says “The Total Amount of (total) contains (tax_amount) of taxes.

The other thing is that I need an invoice-number that is incremental, i.e. last invoice-#+1.

Each german customer will have these same problems if they want to use the plugin.

Haven’t looked yet, but would I be able to achieve the above by using an email instead of a generated pdf?

We have updated the receipt creator addon so it will now show the tax amount in the receipt too.

You don’t have to use the receipt creator addon to create a receipt with info you want. The purchase notification email can serve as a receipt if you include all the details there. eStore has lots of email tags that you can use to customize what info you want to include in that notification email (thers is one for an incremental number too):

OK, thanks. I went for for the e-mail solution for now as the pdf creation also causes an error (corrupt file).

In the effort to improve the addon, can you please tell us exactly what that error is and what steps you took to reproduce it (if possible)?

Hello –

Could you please tell us how we could change the Tax line in the generated receipt PDF’s to instead say VAT?

Thank you!

Edit the following file of the receipt creator addon:

eStore-receipt-creator/create-receipt-pdf.php

Search for the following keyword in that file. Replace it to what you want:

Tax:
