Taxes in eShop module?

[beauchman22]

Is there a way to add taxes to product(s) in the eShop module. Since all countries use some form of taxes and all ecommerce platforms have a tax function shouldn't the eShop module for Sitebuilder?

If it already does have this functionality can you please tell me how to set it?

Thanks,

No, there isn't a way to handle taxes yet. (Or in SB 4.5) The work around to this is to include the tax in the price of the product. Just a heads up that you are really limited on ways to calculate shipping...there's only one, a flat rate. Despite the eShop module's great functionality, Parallels needs to address the tax and shipping calculation issue before most businesses can use the module. I'm pretty sure it's on on their list of things to improve, but I'm not sure about the timing.

Hey Jason, thanks for the reply. It would be great if they could add these features sooner rather than later b/c as you said it is very very limited as is. How can you sell something in todays world and not charge appropriate taxes?

I run a web development company and have other incredibly complex solutions for building eCommerce sites but they are custom and expensive so i was hoping to use eShop as an affodable solution but if it is this limited it's almost not worth it.

Guys, this feature is planned already to the next Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder version. Thank you for the feedback.

It is planned to be added into next version 5. Unfortunately, can not say anything exact concerning release date for this new version.
