Prices how-to

To calculate the prices and taxes, we need first to get the proper tax rate. It's based on taxrate entity, stored in the Elastic. Each product can have the property product.tax_class_id fixed. Depending on its value Storefront API is applying the taxrate. It's also applying the country and region to the filter.

Note: We're currently not supporting searching the tax rules by customer_tax_class_id neither by the tax_postcode fields of taxrate entity. Pull requests more than welcome 😉

After getting the right tax rate, we can calculate the prices.

We've got the following price fields priority in the VS:

• final_price - if set, depending on the config.tax.finalPriceIncludesTax - it's taken as final price or Net final price,
• special_price - if it's set and it's lower than price it will replace the price and the price value will be set into original_price property,
• price - if set, depending on the config.tax.sourcePriceIncludesTax - it's taken as final price or Net final price.

Depending on the config.tax.finalPriceIncludesTax and config.tax.sourcePriceIncludesTax settings Vue Storefront calculates the prices and stores them into following fields.

Product Special price:

• special_price - optional, if set - it's always Net price,
• special_price_incl_tax - optional, if set - it's always price after taxes,
• special_price_tax - optional, if set it's the tax amount.

Product Regular price:

• price - required, if set - it's always Net price,
• price_incl_tax - required, if set - it's always price after taxes,
• price_tax - required, if set it's the tax amount,

Product Final price:

• final_price - optional, if set - it's always Net price,
• final_price_incl_tax - optional, if set - it's always price after taxes,
• final_price_tax - optional, if set it's the tax amount,

Product Original price (set only if final_price or special_price are lower than price):

• original_price - optional, if set - it's always Net price,
• original_price_incl_tax - optional, if set - it's always price after taxes,
• original_price_tax - optional, if set it's the tax amount.

Note: The prices are set for all configurable_children with the same format Note: If any of the configurable_children has the price lower than the main product, the main product price will be updated accordingly.
