Hi everyone
I am in need of a mod of the wieworder page and finalizing page.
Is it possible to get the checkout page to show not only price but also shipping and tax. My most freq question from visitors is that they want to see the final total without having to fill in the billing form.

Hello again Joakim,
Long time no speak, how did you get on with that other code we spoke about a couple of years ago?
Ok, with this challenge, it is of course possible to do, I just need to work out how, but what we will need to know is where they want it shipped in order to give any sort of correct shipping amount.
Likewise, the tax can of course quite easily be included, but once again, depending on where they live, the tax changes, so your customers will need to offer some sort of location information in order to work out both the shipping and tax.
Hope that helps,
Gary

Hi Gary
All my products goes to Scandinavia or the EU. New rule in EU is that if I sell to an EU country I have to put swedish VAT on my sale, so the only country I donīt have to tax is Norway so it should be solvabel with taxoncountry. I tried that and the NC-formatting made the whole page go out of wack. The transport is as you mentioned in the other post possible to charge at the item. So in the end what I need is that the tax is shown in the checkout and the finalizing. |

Hi Joakim,
Can you please explain what happens and precisely on which page to make the page go all "out of wack".
Also, have you altered any of the code elsewhere that might be giving adverse effects, if not I can try to re-create it here, otherwise I will need you to ZIP and send me a product page and the checkout pages with all your JS folder so I can test and debug it here.
The shipping next to the products can be written to a cookie, then added dynamically to the other shipping on the final pages, but will not be exact since until the destination is known, we won't know whether to tax it or not.
The point here is that you can save yourself a lot of work and expense by simply answering the most frequent question on the customer_data.html page. Simply put, until we know where you live and whether you must pay tax or not, the final price will be shown on the next page.
Your customers can answer their own questions if you explain that if they reside within the EU, they will be charged the Swedish VAT at that percentage, but nothing if they live in Norway.
Also, the shipping for the 2 items you mentioned can be written to the page next to the products and then with a bit of bespoke code, I can add the appropriate amount to the standard shipping for their country on the final page by looking to see if they are in the cart and add it appropriately.
All this must take place before the page loads, so the form variables contain the correct amounts, this work will require an absolute understanding of your pricing structure and payment flow and will take anything from 5-10 hours to complete.
Please let me know if you want this functionality, so we can proceed, or if you just want to answer your most frequently asked question, after all, they will need to give their contact data if they want to order anyway.
Speak to you soon,
Gary

Hi Gary
Will try to explain. Adress to my site "www.hjltrailers.se". All pages as index with a top table and bottom table. Bottom partied in a 20% navigation and 80% catalog. The pages that where affected all had the mini view cart included. I was trying to get the "taxoncountry" to work. I placed all the countries I wanted in the list in "NC_settings" some 20 countries one under the other. When I had done that and brought the pages up the mini was a blank and the catalog had gotten an extra column on the left. I figured it out by changing to a "clean" settings and configured it step by step. The pags up on the net is the old configuration, I am rebuilding it with fewer pages and in XHML 1.0 instead of the HML 3.2 that the old one is using.
The mod I asked for seem to complicated just now so I will forgo it. |

Hi Joakim,
It sounds like there may have been an error in your coded countries list, did you make sure that all but the last had a comma after it?
If not, the rest of the JS code would have stopped executing and may not have closed the table tag or something.
Tables are now becoming somewhat obsolete since common browsers are becoming more CSS compliant. What you could do is put the <script> elements in <div>'s so you can position them as needed using CSS, or leave them inline so they flow correctly within your page content.
If at any time you do get a problem, it's easy to isolate by simply setting the (style=visibility: hidden) on the <div> element hiding it to see if the rest of the page displays ok.
Once you get this sorted, we can continue with the other stuff if you really want to. I was also thinking that if we know the country only, then we can display the tax and shipping before they fill in their entire details.
I'm here to help where I can and my time is not expensive when you consider I can accomplish something 10 times faster than you. What may take you 10 hours to accomplish might only take me an hour or less.
Let me know if the comma is the problem and also if you want me to code anything.
Regards,
Gary
