Tax Inclusive Pricing

The Tax Inclusive Pricing feature allows merchants to embed applicable taxes directly into the product prices. Customers see one final amount upfront, creating a transparent and seamless shopping experience. The system automatically calculates the tax-exclusive portion and the tax amount during checkout, ensuring compliance and clarity on invoices.

Checkout and Invoice Flow

Checkout Flow

  1. Customer Views Product
    • The tax-inclusive price is labeled as such (e.g., “$100 (Tax Inclusive)”).
  2. Price at Checkout
    • Taxes are calculated based on the customer’s location.
    • The checkout page lists:
      • The tax-inclusive price of the product.
      • A tax breakdown for clarity.
  3. Payment
    • The customer is charged exactly the final, tax-inclusive amount they saw from the start.

Invoice

  • After the purchase:
    • An invoice is generated showing:
      • Product Price (Tax Inclusive)
      • Tax Amount extracted from that price
      • Net Amount (price without tax)
    • This structure confirms the total paid and tax details.

With Tax Inclusive Pricing, you provide final, tax-included figures upfront, giving customers full clarity and ensuring invoices display compliant breakdowns.

Pay What you Want Pricing

Pay What You Want (PWYW) is a pricing strategy that allows customers to decide how much they will pay for a product—above or at a minimum threshold set by the merchant. This can boost engagement, encourage community support, and allow for greater flexibility in how merchants price their offerings.

Key Highlights

  • Customer-Driven Pricing: The buyer chooses the price they pay.
  • Minimum Threshold: Merchants set a required minimum. This should be at least $0.5 or Rs.5
  • Suggested Price (Optional): You can display a recommended or typical value to guide customers.
  • This option is only available for One-Time Payment products.

Merchant Flow

  1. Enable PWYW
    • From the dashboard, create or edit a product and select Pricing as Single Payment
    • Enable Toggle “ Pay What You Want ” under the pricing section.
  2. Set Minimum Price
    • Enter the Minimum price. This should be at least $0.5 or Rs.5
    • If you wish, enter a “Suggested Price” that appears on the product page to guide customers. This should be at least $0.5 or Rs.5
  3. Confirm & Save
    • Save your settings. The product is now Pay What You Want enabled.
  4. Preview & Share
    • Once saved, customers on your storefront or via your checkout link will see the PWYW field.
    • Review the checkout preview to ensure everything looks correct (e.g., the minimum price, suggested price)
    • Share the link or embed the product as usual.
  5. Monitor Transactions
    • In your dashboard, each sale’s “paid amount” might vary so you can monitor the transactions in detail.

Customer Flow

  1. Product Page
    • The shopper lands on the product listing. They see an input field to set their price with a suggested(if provided) & minimum price.
  2. Input Their Price
    • The customer types any amount that meets or exceeds the minimum.
  3. Checkout
    • The checkout summary will display their chosen amount.
    • They complete payment as usual (card, wallet, etc.), paying exactly what they entered.
  4. Confirmation
    • They can see how much they paid in their invoice sent via email.

Points to Remember

  1. Suggested Price vs. Minimum Price
    • Minimum Price: Ensures you recoup at least a nominal amount
    • Suggested Price: Helps anchor a “typical” or “recommended” rate, which can influence average payments positively.
  2. Refund & Support
    • Refund logic remains the same as other products. If a user requests a refund, they’d be refunded whatever they initially paid.
