As WordPress & WooCommerce specialist for SMEs & industry I experience the same problem again and again: EU stores list their item prices net in the backend - in the frontend, however, WooCommerce converts fixed vouchers depending on the VAT rate. This means:
- 100 € voucher → Germany deducts € 119 (19 % VAT)
- Austria deducts 120 € (20 %)
- Hungary deducts € 127 (27 %)
This is incomprehensible for retailers and customers alike - who advertises a "€100 discount" when the savings vary depending on the country of delivery?
Why standard coupons do not fit here
- Net price maintenance is the standard in the EU for correct B2B prices and accounting.
- WooCommerce logicFor fixed shopping cart vouchers, the system first deducts the net amount and then adds the tax to the discount amount.
- ConsequenceThe promised gross discount varies - and nobody can say in advance how high the savings will really be.
