💲Display Prices With & Without Tax

With tax rules varying across regions and customer types, clarity in pricing is crucial. A Tax Display rule shows product prices including tax, excluding tax or both, to the customers, products and pages you pick. You can also let customers switch between the two.

Before You Start

  • Go to B2B tax & currency › Tax Display and make sure the switch next to the Tax Display title is On. When it is off, your rules are saved but customers don't see them.

  • The header shows the Settings and Storefront setup buttons. Translations is under More actions. Guide opens the in-app Help center topic for this page. See Navigate the app for how module pages work.

Step 0: Sync Your Tax Rates from Shopify

Tax Display works out prices with and without tax from the tax rates it copies from Shopify.

  1. Click Settings at the top of Tax Display.

  2. Under Sync with Taxes and duties settings, click Sync from Shopify.

  3. Sync again whenever you change Settings › Taxes and duties in Shopify.

Only if you use tax overrides in Shopify: Shopify doesn't share overrides with apps, so add the same ones here. Under Tax overrides (only if you use them in Shopify) click Show countries, edit the country, click Add a tax override, pick the collection, enter the Tax rate and click Add override.

  3. A switch with Inc. VAT and Exc. VAT appears at the bottom-left of every storefront page and starts on Inc. VAT. The choice is remembered for the browser session and prices update on product pages, collections and the cart.

  4. To rename the labels, open More actions › Translations and edit Tax toggle labels. To move the switch, click Contact support on the rule page.

Advanced

Click Show to open it. Set Priority (0 = highest) if several rules can match the same customer and product. The lowest number wins; with equal numbers the oldest rule wins.

Save and go live

Click Save. Use the Make Tax Display live card to confirm the rule is enabled and the module and the app embed are on.

Quick Create

Click Quick create to add several rules in one go. Each row asks for who it applies to (all or a customer tag) and a display type (Both, Including tax only, Excluding tax only or Toggle). Quick rules apply to all products and all pages.

Quick edit

To change a rule's Rule name, Priority, Status or Applies to without opening it, click Quick edit in the rule's row actions. Select several rules and choose Edit status to turn them on or off together.

Applies to lets you switch the rule to Customers with tag, Specific customers, All customers or Logged-in customers. If the rule currently targets someone else, for example guests, the first choice is Keep current so nothing changes. Guests, company locations and exclusions are left as they are; change those in the full rule form.

Translations

Open More actions › Translations to edit Tax display labels (for example the default exc. VAT | after the price without tax, so the | is part of the label) and Tax toggle labels (Inc. VAT, Exc. VAT). Click Add language for each store language. An empty label falls back to the default.

Storefront Setup

Click Storefront setup. Make sure the module and the app embed are on. Most themes work as is; open your storefront to check the price. If it doesn't change, chat with us and our team will set it up for free. Manual installation (theme snippets) is available there for themes that need it.

What Your Customers See

  • Product pages, collections and the cart show prices with tax, without tax, both, or the Inc. VAT / Exc. VAT switch, based on the rule and the customer.

  • At checkout, tax is calculated from your Shopify settings, independent of how prices were displayed.

  • The Volume Pricing table always lists each tier with both prices when a Tax Display rule applies to the product.

FAQ

Prices with and without tax show the same amount. The app uses the visitor's country rate copied from Shopify, and only for products that are taxable in Shopify. Click Sync from Shopify and check the product charges tax.

Is my B2B price treated as including or excluding tax? The same as your Shopify prices. If Shopify includes tax in prices, so do the prices you enter in B2B Solution.

My theme still shows "Taxes included" under the price. That line comes from your theme and Shopify. Contact support and we can hide it for customers who see Tax Display prices.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach us at support@bss-b2b.solutions or Live Chat.
