VAT added to B2C prices but not on B2B prices

We're about to start B2C sales in our store that currently sells B2B.

We would like B2C prices to have VAT added, whilst B2B prices shouldn't have VAT added.
Of course the checkout should also account for this, and thus not add further VAT to the B2C orders whilst adding correct VAT to the B2B orders dependent on the customers country.

I haven't found an app that seems to do this, but we would really prefer staying on one store instead of splitting our b2c and b2b sites into two.

Hi Madshj,

If you are not on Shopify plus you cannot do it directly in the checkout. Shopify is built for B2C sales , B2B is an exception . convert the store to B2C pricing model and try Sufio it will make it possible to sell B2B for registered customers.

Hi mate,

We've got a solution for that which is a little messy but has worked for us for several years now.

We implemented some code into our site which multiplies the front-end price of goods by 1.2 if the customer is B2C - anyone under B2B has the price multiplied by 1.

 

We did this on a customer tag basis so 'if customer tag == RETAIL' - price x1.2 - 'if customer tag == WHOLESALE' - price x1

 

You will also need a supplemental piece of code that references if the customer is not logged in (therefore retail) - this would be 'if customer' - else - price x1.2.

 

I would recommend reaching out to a shopify expert to assist in implementing this code as there will be several sections of your site where this will need be inserted.

 

I hope this helps!
