Detailed Tax Display in Cart for SuiteCommerce

Starting in SuiteCommerce Advanced, a new configuration allows you to enable or disable detailed per line tax information in the shopping cart and purchase history. This feature accommodates Australian and Canadian accounts using PST, GST, and VAT tax codes.

Key Features

• Property Purpose: This boolean property, identified as showTaxDetailsPerLine, lets users control the display of tax details by line item.
• UI Location: You can find this setting within the Shopping Catalog.

Tax Calculation Context

When setting up your eCommerce capabilities, it's critical to note that tax estimates visible to guest shoppers reflect the default tax configurations established on the Set Up Taxes page in NetSuite. The Commerce API transmits this tax information to your web store, but please be aware that it doesn't perform any tax calculations. For users not employing SuiteTax, it is advisable to work with your tax provider to confirm the accuracy of tax calculations.

For Developers

For developers interested in the tax-related values returned by the Commerce API, additional details can be found in the Commerce API documentation. This resource outlines how tax calculations can be managed effectively through the SuiteCommerce platform.

Important Note: Ensure that the tax details meeting your jurisdiction's requirements are enabled to facilitate compliance with regional tax legislation.
