Hi: It is vital that we collect sales tax for same state purchases. I have set the state setting but clients aren't always using it so . I set up sales tax on PayPal. The PayPal techs were very helpful and I must surpress some paypal button out put. Here is the repsonse from PayPal:


Tax rates are being applied on the following lines of code from above and will need to be removed if you want the tax rates on your account to be utilized.:

<input type="hidden" name="tax_1" value="0.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax_2" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax_cart" value="0.00" />

How or Where can I remove this code from being sent.

Thanks! Frank

I am sorry Frank, but all that is hard coded into the program and there is no way to remove that without editing the php scripts manually.

Hi;

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I was fully expected to be editing the php scripts. Was hoping you could tell
me Which file(s)?

Thanks!

To be honest, I really wouldn't know. You may have to hunt and peck around to find it unless someone else here has maybe already done this before.

Anyone in the community care to chip in ?

Thanks, Frank (loyal coffee cup customer since 2/2008)

You change manually the code but everytime you make changes (add a product for example) you will need make the changes again.
Beginning of SCC i use this techinc to remove the coffecup logo and i give up...

Yes true of adding products but I have made over 50 code changes and the PHP classes stay intact for the most part.

For any one else who needs this tweak , I have found the code.

And the Answer is ....

File:

ccdata/php/checkoutpps.cls.php

Comment out Variable Assignment code blocks at:

line 100:

$nvp .= '<input type="hidden" name="tax_' . $this->lineNum . '" value="'
. number_format( $this->cart->getTotalTaxAmountProduct($cid) /
$this->cart->getUnitsOfProduct($cid) /
100, 2, '.', '' )
. '" />';


line 132:

$nvp .= '<input type="hidden" name="tax_' . $this->lineNum . '" value="'
. $this->cart->getTaxAmountExtraShipping() . '" />';


line 141:

$nvp .= '<input type="hidden" name="tax_cart" value="'
. number_format( $this->cart->getTotalTax() / 100, 2, '.', '' )
. '" />';

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Frank, this will be a useful hack. I have been wondering how to handle this situation myself when it comes up..

Thanks Franks
Nice work
