Trying to control vat on fee provider

Hi dynamicweb,

I have a customer that specifically wants a vat implementation that means i cannot use country vat or system vat. In essence the vat is unique per user, even users that are from the same country, can have different vat.

To accomondate this i have created following class
NettoPriceProvider : PriceProvider, ISupportPriceInfo

With following method
public PriceInfo FindPriceInfo( Product product, double quantity, string variantID, Currency currency, string UnitID, User user )

This enabled me to calculate and control the with and without vat prices, which is exactly what i need.

Here comes now the problem. I also need to calculate the vat, on the feeProvider (shipping fee), however i can only find the overrideable method of FindFee function in Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Orders.FeeProvider. Is there an equivalent function for fee calculation as with price calculation where i can return a priceinfo or feeinfo instead of just a priceraw.

Am i missing something?

Hi Anders

The feeProvider does only support the rawprice - and there are no other extensibility point that you can use. The closest thing is the Notifications.Ecommerce.Order.BeforeShippingFeeCalculation but it is fired just before the calculation is done, and there is nothing you can do to manipulate the result.

So you would need a Notifications.Ecommerce.Order.AfterShippingFeeCalculation notification to hook into that.

Why do you need this? It does not sound like VAT - and VAT should be VAT and not all other kind of things. Could there be another way to implement this to obtain what you need?

Hi Nicolai - We are not trying to use VAT as something else, but to override vat on an individual user level rather than country level.

I have a workaround for this, but i'd much prefer if there was a way to overrule this in dynamicweb with a priceinfo/feeinfo object.

Thanks for your reply, i got what i needed :)

Hi Anders

Point taken. I just think that VAT is related to country by 'law' - so 2 users could never have different VAT based on their user, but based on their country - so without knowing your use case, I would change the country on the user and get all the VAT out of the box. I do not understand how 2 users can have different VAT in the same country...
