I’ve spent a good 100 hours making my site so far and have most things as i want them, but until now i was still going through the VAT registration process. I have now finally got my VAT number and have gone back through to edit my site to incorporate that, but whilst it will let me add VAT at checkout, it won’t then display anywhere on the site that the prices shown do not include VAT?
If i publish the site as it is, i’m going to end up getting a ton of complaints and might even get sued for false advertising since people are suddenly being stung with an extra £200 when they get to the checkout without any warning!
Is there some way to edit the product galleries and pages to display “+ VAT” after the price, or maybe even to edit the database to incorporate that if i can’t edit the product pages? I have spotted there is an entry in the database called “formattedPrice” and i have been able to write some code which adds the “+ VAT” line afterwards but it doesn’t display anywhere on the site itself?
Any help is hugely appreciated! We sell directly to businesses with other businesses being our main clients, and our competitors already list as “+ VAT”. If we can’t add the + VAT line onto the prices nobody will use us as it will look like we are selling for 20% more than they are, and as we sell directly to businesses that 20% isn’t really important when people are making the actual purpose. I don’t want the site to display the exact VAT amount or anything, just the phrase “+ VAT” after every price.
I have heard somewhere that it isn’t possible to edit the actual product page or anything, and that the only alternative would be to build my own product pages and galleries from scratch? I do have a bit of coding experience (great at python) but not HTML or Javascript before.
