Urgent issue in tax application based on customer country about oc-mall-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Tobias, this works perfectly! This solves it completely. Thanks for your great work, appreciate it!

from oc-mall-plugin.

@chocolata the tax calculation is pretty complex and differs from country to country. You'll find sources that tell you to use the shipping address for tax calculations, others recommend to use the billing address.

If you change to using the billing address here and here, does it work for you?

Hi @tobias-kuendig ,

Thanks for your insights about taxes being dependent on shipping / billing country. I guess that setting is fine as it is then.

I've did some more digging and I found out that when a user is not logged in and is ordering for the first time, i.e. enters his billing / shipping address for the first time on the quick checkout page, there is no Ajax request that refreshes the page to recalculate the taxes. Whatever shipping or billing country I choose, the taxes stay the same...

Might this be something we missed? Or did I overwrite too much in my custom partial?

Hi, I've done some more digging and I've found this:

1. Changing the shipping adress to the billing address for the tax calculation doesn't resolve the issue unfortunately.

2. In the partial quickcheckout/countrystate.htm, there does seem to be an Ajax request tied to the country dropdown:

{% set id = type ~ '_country_id' %}
<div class="mall-form-control">
    <label for="{{ id }}">{{ 'offline.mall::frontend.form.country' | trans }}</label>
    {{ form_select_country(id, countryId, {
        id: id,
        emptyOption: ('offline.mall::frontend.select' | trans ),
        'data-request': 'onInit',
        'data-request-data' : ("type: '" ~ type ~ "'"),
        'data-request-success': '$.publish("mall.address.update")',
        'data-request-update': {
            (__SELF__ ~ '::countrystate'): ('#countryState_' ~ type)
        }
    }) }}>
    <div data-validate-for="{{ id }}"></div>
</div>

When I investigate the sourcecode though, it seems that the output might be malformed:

Do you think that expressions like "quickCheckout::countrystate":"#countryState_billing" might be the cause?

I've reverted to the default quickCheckout partials that are shipped with Mall, but I am getting the same results.

3. When users are logged in or have an active session after checking out as a guest and make a second purchase, everything works as it should and the appropriate taxes are applied.

Could you kindly have another look? Most people are running into this issue now, as most don't yet have an account...

P.S.: One important thing to mention. The product in my cart does not require shipping, as it is a virtual product, but as stated the tax is applied correctly when the users are logged in.

Hey @chocolata, give version v3.0.28 a try. I have added a workaround to calculate taxes for unregistered users based on their QuickCheckout country selection.
