02/16/2024, 11:58 AMHi all, we have an site we inherited from another company that uses Vendr on Umbraco 8. We had this site for a while but left Vendr alone. Now they want us to make it so that they can choose a tax percentage per product. In house we have basically no knowledge of Vendr and how it works under the hood. Can somebody give us some clues? The docs are really not helping me so far.
Thanks in advance!

02/23/2024, 4:45 PMFrom memory you just add the Tax Class to the product doc type.
if you have any custom models that get the product then just calculate the price using htis tax class

02/23/2024, 4:46 PMI can't quite remember how I set all this up but I have a products service that "gets" all the products and adds more content and stuff in a view model.
Copy code
` PriceFormatted = x.Price.GetPriceFor(currencyId).Value.ToCurrency(),
PriceWithTax = x.Price.GetPriceFor(currencyId).Value * ((curProductNode.TaxClass?.DefaultTaxRate ?? 0) + 1),
PriceWithTaxFormatted = (x.Price.GetPriceFor(currencyId).Value * ((curProductNode.TaxClass?.DefaultTaxRate ?? 0) + 1)).ToCurrency(),SiempreSteve

02/23/2024, 4:48 PMIf you've inheritted a site though I'd probably start by just building a vanilla test shop yourself to familiarise yourself with Vendr. Picking someone else's insanity up is never good - always handy to know exactly what they "should" have done before you try to change what they "did" do

I have a base composition for all products which have a price and SKU, I added the store entity picker for Tax class. But in the order controller I don't really see it reflected. The orderreadonly also has a taxclass, how does this differ from the one I added to the product?
