VAT on GetPaid

[Hannes Calitz]

I need to start developing some sort of Tax add-on for GetPaid, and by
the look of things, it seems that just perhaps I will have to dive
into the PloneGetPaid code itself. What I basically need to start
developing is a plugin that adds 14% VAT to all orders.

Before I start working on such a plugin, I wanted to know if anyone
has already started something similar that I could perhaps look at
before starting on a something from scratch.

Thanks
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

This is/should be relatively straightforward. In NZ we have a flat GST regime of 12.5% and I wrote a tax plugin to add this to all orders. It was only very small. I don't know if my way was 'right' but It Works For Me(tm)

Sweet. Thanks Darryl

As I have never started a plug in from scratch (I have always just copied an existing plug in and edited it), I don't quite know where to start. Would I just create a normal Plone Product and add these two files to it?

I created mine as an egg, 'getpaid.gst' which is probably what you also want to do. If I recall correctly, I made the basic structure with Paster's 'basic namespace package' or similar (eg: python-2.4.5/bin/paster create basic_namespace). Then add it to your buildout as a development egg. Erm, if you aren't too familiar with buildout then you may be in for a little bit of a learning curve... :-/

Hi guys,

Thanks to you both: you saved my day. I was struggling to understand
getpaid to have it work with a basic tax system; your posts didn't
just help me: you made all the work for me.

THanks thanks thanks

I owe you.

Hi guys,

Thanks to you both: you saved my day. I was struggling to understand
getpaid to have it work with a basic tax system; your posts didn't
just help me: you made all the work for me.

THanks thanks thanks

I owe you.

Marc

Hello again,

I notice I have a small problem with the code I reused from you: when
using getpaid.paypal, no traces of the taxes on the paypal bill. It
looks like the data is not transmitted.

I noticed you (Hannes at least) have used the paypal processor. Have
you noticed this too ?

Would one of you have a clue  on why ?
Any clue would be greatly appreciated. I am not really as coder, more
like a sysadmin, and I have not really understood all the machinery
behind this.

Thanks in advance

Marc

[Hannes Calitz]

Hi there Marc

I use a custom Payment Processor for NetCash here in South Africa. Netcash calculates the VAT when they receive the final amount for our store, and as such, the amount is included on the bill. I merely used the VAT addon for GetPaid in order to show the VAT amount on the cart, and on the order page when the client logs in.

As for the PayPal processor, I unfortunately have no idea why PayPal is not showing the tax amount on the bill. I will take some time this weekend, and have a look to see if I can come up with something.
