Hi Matt,
I finally have all the basics of my webshop up and running. I can finalize transactions and they show up as captured in the Commerce section in Umbraco.
Now I only have one issue left, I need to be able to select a country and have it show the local price with the local currency. I can't seem to find any documentation on this, is that right?
I don't think this has been fully documented yet, but the top level answer would be that within your store settings you define the currencies that you want to support. Then on your products, the price field will allow you to enter a price for each currency.
On the site then, you'll want to create a language picker which will need to list the currencies supported by store and then when a currency is selected you can call the session managers SetDefaultCurrency(storeId, currencyId, applyToCurrentOrder:true) to set the current sessions currency and to set the current orders currency to that selected currency.
When you show prices on the site via Vendr's CalculatePrice methods, this will now take into account the order / session currency to determine which price is displayed.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick answer.
Just to be sure I understood it, will the CalculatePrice method, automatically take into account which currency was selected via the SetDefaultCurrency?
What do I do about taxes then? Taxes may vary by country and not by currency. Especially in the US where the taxes differ statewise
Yes, the CalculatePrice method will take into account the current currency.
Regarding Tax, the first thing you'll have to do is setup all the countries / regions your store needs to support in the stores countries settings section.
Then, you can either define one tax class and provide tax rates for each of the countries / regions. Or you can define different tax rates and call the session managers SetDefaultTaxClass(storeId, taxClassId, applyToCurrentOrder:true) to change the default tax class of the current session.
Alright thanks. That seems doable :)
I currently have some issues creating US as a country.
Whenever I try to create it, I run into this issue
Failed to save country United States of America: An error has occurred.
I can create other countries without any issues, but for some reason I can't create this one.
Alright, thank you very much 😄
One last question. When we are to ship products to US customers, it is of course important to know which state they are based in.
Does the checkout package support a state picker/input box when US is selected as a country?

Alright thanks. That seems doable :) I currently have some issues creating US as a country. Whenever I try to create it, I run into this issue
Are you creating it from the blank menu option? Or the "New country from ISO 3166 ISO preset" option?
The "New country from ISO 3166 ISO preset" option
Ok, I can see it's doing it on the demo store too so I'll raise a bug on the issue tracker for this and take look 👍
Update1: https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr/issues/159
Update2: I've found the issue and fixed it locally. The fix will be in an upcoming 1.2.7 patch release

Good question, I don't think we do currently. It's just based on the simplified country selection. I'll add that as an issue too 👍
