Hello This is a first time in a year when i have managed to set up satchmo store from scratch.. thank you clonesatchmo lol.
Anyway, now that i have managed to do it I have several questions about store settings. I work as project manager at one web and ad company and we have set up several stores for our customers on magento. I am django enthusiast and i would like to check out satchmo too. But since i have seen the stuff you can do with magento i have to ask questions as: 1) tax settings. I set tax to 0.18 just fine. I encountered a bug, when i set both tax area and tax country to estonia, it would not save it and kept telling me "You must choose a zone or a country." - cmoon i had both chosen. In any case. i changed tax class of both robot attacks and python rocks products to "eesti käibemaks" - tax class i set up earlier. That made no difference in front end. Surfing around in admin side led me to conlusion that the store is missing several crucial settings - a) way to config if the product price includes tax class or not and b) way to configure if the public side displays price with or without tax. But since the tax class is just string and does not include the actual tax info should come from tax rate not tax class... is it a bug or what? Another tax related thing that seems to be missing is that product tax is not displayed in both shopping cart and checkout 2) currency settings. Now this is CRUCIAL when it comes to multi national stores. and as far as i can see, there is nothing like that in satchmo. Estonia is so small market that everyone who creates e- store here is thinking about selling to neighbour countries too. That often requires several currencies. Our customers have even told us that american folks wont buy from otherwise great and english store where currency is english pound. same about germans - the store can be at uk but they wont buy if its not in euro. For that reason i think satchmo urgently needs way to set up multiple currencies and how those currencies relate to each other. magento even offers online service where those currency relations can be automatically updated. Thats not really necessary though. I think the store owner can update the currency rates by themselves, unless they dont want to loose money due to currency changes. all this using satchmo 0.91. What i would like to know is - have you guys thought about such things. Is there a place for them in your development plan? perhaps they are already in development? alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
