because I could’t believe that this system has great features for store front but only few options for cart. I’m talking about shopping cost / charges and VAT etc.
1 - I wish to trade in the UK only and I know that people have edited their code so it wouldn’t show countries drop-down menu or disable countries list etc etc why … no … that’s not what I want …! There should be a hook/mod for this I believe!!!
2 - Ok, I clicked on view cart … and then “Estimate shipping cost” so my total includes product cost + shipping cost + VAT … now I click on checkout … back to square one … right box shows products cost only … where the hell shipping cost has gone???
3 - Shopping cart & checkout don’t give appropriate breakdowns for VAT. Prices shown in cart/checkout must be ex. VAT + delivery + total VAT which means total value of order … ! that’s not happening unless that’s how US sites work???
Please I need answers or I will have to look for other e-commerce solutions, though that’s my last choice 8(

Yes, it would be nice to have an option to disable the dropdown but there is not. There is probably a post in the forum that explains what code changes are needed to achieve this - make sure they are for version 2.
You could add this as a feature request so that it might be available in future versions.

On my site, the order subtotals (including shipping and taxes) display below the cart items and promotions.

Another setting which affects this is “Price includes tax” on your VAT tax - uncheck this. The rest of this sounds like a rehashing of item #2.

Regarding item #1, you can achieve this without editing any code in 2.0.12:
- In Shipping/Taxes->Countries, disable all countries except UK
- In Shipping/Taxes->Locations, disable all locations except those for the UK
- In Shipping/Taxes->Shipping methods, make sure there are no charges set except for your UK locations(s)
- In Users->Profile fields, for both billing address and shipping address, uncheck the ‘Show’ checkbox in both the Profile and Checkout columns
Your customers should now be able to register and checkout without seeing the Country dropdown. The Country will default to the country specified in the matching location

Yes it will do the above. Provided you set it up correctly!
I assume you are a trade outlet?
Otherwise if not, CsCart will do most things that you want out of the box.
Yes I am setting up a manufacturing business which requires an online store.
So far, it has been a good experience of using CS Cart however I’m getting frustred becasue of tax and cart issues.
Please advise how can I change this layout as described in my previous post?
I’d appreciate your help.
Thanks

Mostly Jobosales has answered in post~2 and #3.
In addition on your products and delivery methods you will need to tick the appropriate tax, which you will need to set up in taxes. You can change languages so it says VAT

I can see often the word “frustrated” in relation to TAX/VAT difficulties or shipping calculations. I would say these are not coding issues and the functionlity of CSC is very good. The problem is in the calculation (and maybe the logic) how should it be calculated and which values, where and when should be visible in the cart. I think, there isn’t really a cart provider who would make their cart functions universal for all countries on the world. For example I saw a post here regarding EU tax/vat rules. That’s a next problem of CSC to fulfil these regulations as visible VAT# on the invoice and quotes or numbering of invoices.
But as I said, that’s not a coding issue, it’s all about counting.
Ok here is a sample of what I’m trying to do…
[url]http://www.impactreact.co.uk/labelshop2/25-sheets-10-labels-per-sheet-83-x-53-mm.html[/url]
1 - Can I show prices like £5.88 (£5.00 ex. VAT)
2 - This product has 4 variants - plain, printed, print text and artwork file
Is it possible to display print text(3) and artwork file(4) options once printed(2) variant is selected and hide if plain(1) is selected?
I will appreciate your help. Thanks

I couldnt find “Configurable Product” option in the admin area … anymore advise please???

You probably need to install/enable it in Administration->Addons.
Bob
sort of, not exactly what I need … but another great feature of cs cart …!
Anymore thoughts on this please?
