Tax exemption for certain customers on certain products

[KimC-1987]

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following issue: 

We're an agricultural equipment company and we're currently building an online store for our customers. Everyone will be able to see the store and products, but only (pre-existing) logged-in customers will be able to shop and see prices. 

Most, but not all, of our customers are PST exempt on certain products. If a product is used in your farm production, and only can be used for this purpose (e.g. lifestock feeding, watering, heating, ventilation) a farmer will be PST exempt on this product. If he purchases a product that can be used more widely (e.g. hardware, winches etc.) he has to pay PST on those products. 

This means that I need to tag the customer who is PST exempt and link him to certain products, but I'm missing that option. I know that I can mark customers as tax exempt and I know that I can create tax exempt collections, but I can not figure out how to connect these two. 

I was thinking about going in the code and trying a 

{% if customer %}

[is PST exempt] 

option, but I'm not advanced enough in coding to do so. 

The other idea was that there might be an app to tag customers and products together but I haven't found one yet. 

I found a post that decribed the same issue in a different industry here, but it doesn't have any replies yet. 

Any help would be appriciated! 

Best, 

Vivian

Hey Vivian, 

I'm curious if you ever figured out a solution for this by any chance?

Thanks,
