How are others solving having customers that have a tax exempt status?
I have read the following suggestion (and comments):
1. Create a discount code equal to the tax amount. Response: This is not possible because of the county, Municipal locations vary.
2. Refund the taxes. Response: Great so I get charged twice for the credit card fees....
3. Run 2 sites, for double the costs, one locked down for tax exempt customer. Response: so you wan to charge me 2x...
Shopify - this is a very normal business need. I read over a year ago how you are working on it... This really is not hard to do... A flag on the customer and the code to not charge tax....
I have come to this similar problem and so far all I have come up with is using a variant to accomplish this. My solution currently only works for products with only one variant.
{% if customer and customer.tags contains 'tax-exempt' %} {% for variant in product.variants %} {% if variant.title == 'Tax Exempt' %} <input type="hidden" id="id" name="id" value="{{ variant.id }}" /> {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% else %} <input type="hidden" id="id" name="id" value="{{ product.variants.first.id }}" /> {% endif %}
I am hoping there is a better solution for this and curious to see other ideas.
