How to show "incl VAT" only inside EU?

Hello, 

My webshop is based in the EU and all our prices are incl VAT. But when I enter our webshop from the US (which I have set to not be collecting taxes) it still says "Incl. VAT" next to the prices. Are there any solutions how to remove this for the customers outside of the EU? Just remove the text "Incl. VAT" since I want the prices to remain the same. 

 

Best regards, 

Niklas

Hello @NickSweden!

A solution would be to detect the user IP in Javascript and hide the "Incl VAT" element if it is outside the EU. 

You can use IPStack for detection and add the relevant code then.

Let me know if you need additional help!

Hi! 

 

THank you very much for your reply. 

 

Being a beginner at this, the IPstack is a sort of Geolocation? Are you suggesting an app for this (which alters the code and removes the text "Incl VAT" for the international customers) or manually? 

 

Thanks again!

IPStack is an API that returns a customer's location, you can see a few things about it here: https://ipstack.com/

It's not a Shopify app and gives you the flexibility to execute any code you write based on the location of the IP address. 

Once it is included in your code you can then execute any type of code you need based on individual countries.

Let me know if you need any help with this!
