We have setup a magento store. We are not charging any Tax/VAT to our customer. But in some countries we have to pay Tax/VAT which should be calculated for the administrator reports only. So we know how much we have to pay as Tax/VAT for the order. We can set all the product as non taxable but that rule will also apply to the administrator reports which we do not want. So for example if actual price is 60 for a product we will only charge 60 to the customer and pay Tax/VAT from ourself in the countries we have to pay Tax/VAT?
Can anybody let me know if its possible and if yes, how?
Many Thanks
After hours of struggling I edited the following to make this happen
app\code\core\Mage\Tax\Model\Sales\Total\Quote\Tax.php and commented the
/* $this->_addAmount($totalTax);
$this->_addBaseAmount($baseTotalTax);
$this->_saveAppliedTaxes($address, $data['applied_rates'], $totalTax, $baseTotalTax, $rate);*/
This is around at line 570.

I have a magento shop with 3 different delivery options. Non of them are related to the destination. We only allow shipping in one country and in this country the rate for shipping is always the same. So therefore I don't need to ask my customers for their ZIP/Country to calculate the delivery costs. I only want to give them the three options to select - and nothing more.
How can I disable this "estimated delivery costs"-module without disabling the whole "choose your delivery"-thing?
Thanks in advance!
Also, what may be helpful, is the Auto Shipping module in the Magento Connect, it will automatically select the best shipping option. That way the customer will see the grand total including the shipping.
Hope it helps!
If you mean the estimated delivery costs that exists in index.php/checkout/cart/, it does not force the customer to insert his zip code. As i see in my shop it's optional. Of course if the customer type a zip code then it can change the shipping costs.
If this is the case then you can just disappear it...
In your CSS file:
.cart .shipping {
display:none;
}
I'm using virtuemart on Joomla and I was wondering if it is possible to make a discount depending on the clock. I want to add a 20% discount on sales made from 16.00 through 20.00 avery day.
Thanks in advance
I think there's a possible solution based on an extension called Chameleon. Using Chameleon you can set the VM shopper group on the fly, according to specific conditions.
So perhaps you could set up a special shopper group that has a 20% discount. Then you would make a "rule" in Chameleon that triggers only between 16:00 and 20:00. The "succeed action" in that rule would be to set the shopper group to the new shopper group.
That way, people would be able to see the special prices only during those times. The shopper group switch is not "sticky" i.e. it doesn't permanently assign the person to that shopper group.
Some people use this functionality for setting different pricing for people in different countries (GeoIP), or different domains on their site, so I think it should work fine for time-based things as well. The only issue might be what happens if they have added something to their cart before 20:00 but don't check out in time; but I am sure that could be solved.

Out of the box is not possible to do that. If you doesn't mind to spend some money you may buy a virtuemart plugin called 'quantity plugin' which calculates discount based on quantity and modify it to use time instead of quantity.
Alternatively you may check how the calculation rules works by examining a few files:
administrator/com_components/com_virtuemart/controllers/calc.php
administrator/com_components/com_virtuemart/models/calc.php
administrator/com_components/com_virtuemart/views/calc/view.html.php
administrator/com_components/com_virtuemart/tables/calc*.php
Using those files as starting point you could implement your own discount rule.
Hope this helps.
I was wondering whether anyone could guide me on the purpose
of the Tier Price section when adding a product to the catalog.
What is a tier price and how does this section of the page work
in terms of what can be accomplished with this field?
Magento documentation is a bit limited, not sure where to find
this information, and would like to have a grasp on the genric
concept as well as the details.
Tier prices are remarkably easy - once you understand them. Getting your head around all fo the things Magento throws at you at first can be overwhelming and make you overthink some things. So, hopefully I can explain tier prices in Magento a bit for you.
Tiered prices allow you to have multiple prices based on the quantity that the user wants to purchase (and the customer group). For example:
Qty | Price
1 | $10
5 | $12
10 | $13
Customer groups (if you don't know what they are) allow you to group various customers together and set up different rules and settings for each group - like separate price tiers. For example, my company is a B2B supply-level company, and in order to have an account on our site, you have to be a verified distributor of ours, or member of a sales organization that does business in our industry. Our customers would get mad if their customers were able to logon to our site and see what they (as our distributors) are paying. To remedy the situation, we have one price tier we show for the "Not Logged In" customer group that contains MSRP. We also don't want to have to make the customer work too hard in figuring out what they will actually be paying, so we then have a "Logged In" price tier that displays the actual distributor prices.
We also have a third price tier for some of our "Rewards" program customers that do a certain dollar amount of business with us in a specific time period - but that is just another example of how it can be used.
Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
This may sound bizarre - I need a customer group that when they login into magento they see a price increase.
The reason for it is the online price is going to be cheaper than the instore products. So I'm going to setup a user for the sales staff to login to so they can process the orders - but obviously we need to increase the prices.
Is there a way to do this, it basically just need to be something like 10% more.
Quickest solution might be an extension. Google search found this: http://www.webtexsoftware.com/customer-group-prices-magento-extension
Just make the default price the higher price. Then setup tier pricing for the lower price. Associate all the groups except your sales reps to the tier price.
In the end we decided to create a new store that had the 'instore prices'
I have one query for USPS shipping method in Magento. If I don’t know and i don’t enter the weight of the product in magento, then how USPS will count the cost?
I want where if total amount to pay is over $50 then FREE Shipping will go else it will show fix $5 rate for USPS. I almost have same weight small products so I don't want cost to be calculated. I just want user to know that via USPS, their parcel will come and for that they need to pay more $5 charge.
Can anyone give me idea for what I want to achieve? Any tip will be great help.
