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 by providing a dynamic, user-controlled pricing environment.
This extension places a simple, persistent switcher in your store header, giving customers total control over their pricing view. With a single click, all prices across the site, including the Home Page, Search Results, Mini-carts, and Widgets, update instantly via AJAX-based switching. This ensures the browser never triggers a full page reload or hard refresh, creating a seamless and transparent user experience that builds trust and reduces friction at checkout. Whether a customer is browsing related products or viewing their basket, the pricing remains consistent and accurate to their preference.
The VAT Switcher is an intelligent tool that now features automated Customer Group Price Mapping. From the Magento Admin, you can use a dynamic configuration grid to map specific customer groups to their ideal VAT display preference. Upon login, the module identifies the user's group and automatically defaults the frontend to the correct format. While it automates the journey for trade accounts and retail shoppers, it still allows for a manual toggle override. This intelligent conflict resolution ensures that if a user manually changes the toggle, their choice takes priority for that session, with the preference persisted via cookies as they navigate the store.
Built for high-performance environments, the module integrates flawlessly with standard Luma-based themes and modern frontends like Hyvä and Breeze. For those running bespoke setups or custom themes, it includes configurable CSS selectors in the admin panel. This allows administrators to target specific price containers (such as .price-box) without modifying the core script, ensuring the AJAX updates work perfectly across any layout. All settings are managed within the Magento admin, providing a robust, conflict-free tax display strategy that scales with your business.
Core Capabilities

- Automated Customer Group Mapping: Define default VAT preferences for specific customer groups using a dynamic row UI component within the Magento Admin configuration.
- Universal Update Scope: Ensure pricing consistency everywhere; the switcher dynamically updates the Home Page, Category Listings (PLP), Product Detail Pages (PDP), Search results, and the Mini-cart.
- Advanced State Persistence: The user's selection is saved via session or cookie, ensuring their preferred tax view remains active as they navigate between pages or return for future visits.
- Configurable Selectors: Tailor the extension to custom themes by defining specific CSS price containers directly in the backend for seamless AJAX compatibility.
- Hyvä and Breeze Ready: Engineered to work with the latest high-performance Magento frontends, ensuring a fast, lightweight, and modern implementation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does switching the price display cause the page to reload?
A. No. The extension uses AJAX-based technology to update all price blocks instantly. When a customer toggles the VAT setting, the prices update across the page, including the mini-cart and widgets, without a full page refresh or hard reload.
Q. How do I map specific customer groups to a VAT preference?
A. The module includes a dynamic configuration grid in the Magento Admin panel. You can create rows to map specific customer groups to either "Show Price with VAT" or "Show Price without VAT." Upon login, the system automatically identifies the user's group and applies the correct display setting.
Q. What happens if a customer manually overrides their group default?
A. The extension features intelligent manual override logic. If a logged-in customer manually changes the toggle in the header, their selection will override the automated group mapping for that specific session, giving the user total control over their view.
Q. Where does the price update take effect?
A. The price updates are universal. The AJAX script dynamically targets and updates prices on the Home Page, Product Detail Pages (PDP), Category Listing Pages (PLP), Search Result Pages, Mini-carts, and all standard price widgets.
Q. Is the extension compatible with custom Magento themes?
A. Yes. While the extension targets standard Magento price containers like .price-box, you can easily configure custom CSS selectors directly in the Magento Admin. This ensures the AJAX updates work perfectly on bespoke themes, including Hyvä and Breeze.
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 and compliance.
Q. What do guest users see when they first visit the site?
A. For guest users or customers without a specific group mapping, the module falls back to your global default store setting. Guests can use the switcher to change the view, and their preference is saved via cookies so it persists as they navigate the site.
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 remains based on your store's core tax configuration and the customer's shipping address.
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.
