Tax-Proof Coupons for WooCommerce: Put an end to discount fluctuations in the EU store

With Tax-Proof Coupons for WooCommerce, you can always apply fixed-amount coupons (e.g., 100 €) exactly after taxes—EU-wide and compatible with Germanized.

Tax-Proof Coupons for WooCommerce

As WordPress & WooCommerce specialist for SMEs & industry I experience the same problem again and again: EU stores list their item prices net in the backend - in the frontend, however, WooCommerce converts fixed vouchers depending on the VAT rate. This means:

  • 100 € voucher → Germany deducts € 119 (19 % VAT)
  • Austria deducts 120 € (20 %)
  • Hungary deducts € 127 (27 %)

This is incomprehensible for retailers and customers alike - who advertises a "€100 discount" when the savings vary depending on the country of delivery?

Why standard coupons do not fit here

  1. Net price maintenance is the standard in the EU for correct B2B prices and accounting.
  2. WooCommerce logicFor fixed shopping cart vouchers, the system first deducts the net amount and then adds the tax to the discount amount.
  3. ConsequenceThe promised gross discount varies - and nobody can say in advance how high the savings will really be.
