Product description
Magento 2 VAT Switcher
Compatible with Magento 2 community and enterprise 2.3.3 - 2.4.x including cloud edition
Serving a mix of B2B trade customers and B2C retail shoppers in the UK presents a unique challenge: how do you display prices? Retail consumers expect to see final, VAT-inclusive prices, while business buyers need to see VAT-exclusive costs for their accounting. By default, Magento makes you choose one fixed display method, which can alienate half your audience. The Magento 2 VAT Switcher elegantly solves this problem.
This extension places a simple, persistent switcher on your product pages and category listings, giving customers control over how they see your pricing. With a single click, all prices on the site dynamically update to show either the gross (inc. VAT) or net (ex. VAT) value, without page reloads. This instant feedback creates a seamless and transparent user experience, building trust and reducing friction at checkout.
The VAT Switcher is more than just a toggle; it’s an intelligent tool aware of your customer segments. You can configure it to automatically show VAT-exclusive prices to logged-in trade accounts (B2B) and VAT-inclusive prices to retail customers (B2C), ensuring each group sees the pricing format they expect by default. For guest users, the switcher defaults to your store's main configuration but allows them to override it, with their preference remembered via a cookie for their next visit.
Built with performance and compatibility in mind, the module integrates seamlessly with both standard Luma-based themes and modern, high-performance frontends like Hyvä and Breeze. All administrative settings—from enabling the feature to defining its visibility per customer group—are managed within the Magento admin panel, giving you full control over your store's tax display strategy.
Core capabilities include:
- Frontend Price Toggling: A clear UI element allows users to switch between Inc. VAT and Ex. VAT pricing on demand.
- Customer Group Awareness: Automatically sets the default price display based on whether the logged-in user is in a B2B or B2C customer group.
- Persistent User Choice: The selected VAT display preference is saved across the user's entire session and for future visits.
- Dynamic Price Updates: Prices across product listing pages, product detail pages, and other catalogue views update instantly.
- Hyvä & Breeze Compatibility: Engineered to work flawlessly with modern Magento frontends, ensuring a fast, lightweight implementation.
- Full Admin Control: Easily enable or disable the switcher, set the default view for guests, and control which customer groups see the toggle.
Stop forcing a one-size-fits-all pricing display on a diverse customer base. With the Magento 2 VAT Switcher, you can provide the clarity and flexibility that both trade and retail buyers expect, leading to higher conversions and improved customer satisfaction.

- Hyvä and Breeze Theme Compatible: Guaranteed to work seamlessly with modern, high-performance Magento 2 frontends, in addition to standard themes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does the switcher know the correct VAT rate to use?
A. The extension does not perform its own tax calculations. It leverages your existing, configured Magento tax rules, zones, and rates. It simply toggles the *display* of those correctly calculated taxes, ensuring accuracy.
Q. Can I set the default view for different customer types?
A. Yes. You can configure the extension so that logged-in users in your "Trade" or "B2B" customer groups see prices excluding VAT by default, while retail (B2C) groups see prices including VAT.
Q. What do guest users see when they first visit the site?
A. You can set the default display mode for all guest users in the admin configuration (e.g., show prices including VAT). Guests can then use the switcher to change the view, and their preference will be remembered for their next visit.
Q. Where does the VAT switcher appear on the page?
A. The switcher is designed to be placed in a prominent, persistent location like the store header, making it easily accessible to customers on any category or product page they visit.
Q. Does this affect the final price in the shopping cart and checkout?
A. The switcher's primary function is to change the price *display* throughout the catalogue. The final, legally required tax calculation at checkout will still be based on your store's tax configuration and the customer's shipping address, ensuring compliance.
Q. How can I get license key for my development website?
A. Please use the same license as live site provided with the order confirmation email on the staging site and ensure you have the latest version of scommerce/core installed i.e 2.0.9.
Once added go to Stores>Configuration>Scommerce Configuration>Core and click on verify. Once verified the license will start working on your staging site.
