    Hi there

    I have a client who sells digital downloads and physical products. UK law says we have to show our VAT tax element separately. However, if we send products outside the UK, the VAT isn’t applicable. PayPal doesn’t enable tax to be added or shown at their end of things. They email an acknowledgement of payment to purchasers but are not VAT invoices – so at the moment, the client has to produce them manually — not something you want to do if mailing to a list of several thousand!

    Does WP eStore have a way of issuing an invoice that either has/has not a tax amount on it? Is there a way to set this up before it gets processed by PayPal?

    Cheers

    There are a few email tags that eStore provides which you can place in the “Buyer Email Body” field. This document has a list of available tags:

    The following 3 tags are related to displaying the price of the purchased items (not sure if any of them will help):

    – {product_details}

    – {product_price}

    – {purchase_amt}

    Why do you want to send an invoice before someone makes a payment on PayPal?

    Thanks for this. And sorry about the confusion regarding the invoice. Basically what I meant was that at the moment the client has to get the info from PayPal regarding the purchase (and the PayPal receipt doesn’t include the VAT) and then create a manual invoice which does include the VAT…except for countries where VAT is not applicable! Even for a small quantity of orders, this is manually extensive work. The client needs to be able to automate creating an invoice which either includes/doesn’t include VAT depending on whether it’s within the UK or outside of it. As PayPal doesn’t do this bit, I wondered if WP eStore did it?

    Does this make sense?

    Cheers

    Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. WP eStore doesn’t have this option unfortunately.
