I reside in a country where most payment methods don’t work and are not supported. So, as an alternative, we need to have store credit on our site that can be redeemed through vouchers and coupons that we sell in local stores.

TeraWallet + Wallet Coupons gives us that functionality as I tested it on a demo online and it’s perfect.

However, my big concern is whether TeraWallet works as an alternative payment method for Digital Subscription Products, not only normal products. i.e my customers can choose to pay with their wallets and not enter any other payment information like PayPal, stripe, etc.

The reason for my concern is that I came across other plugins that have the wallet only as a discount method or that work with only simple products, not subscriptions.

Description of the issue:
1. Step: The site sells single vouchers of 10 Euros each, including 19% tax.
(The 19% vat is included in the invoice, correctly calculated and they pass the VAT amount to the authorities accordingly)
2 Step: When a voucher holder buys a product of 11,50 € and redeems that voucher (that has already the 19% VAT included), the invoice gets calculated and shown as follow (translated from German):

– (Subtotal) Zwischensumme: 11,50 €
– (Discount) Rabatt: -0,00 €
– Payment-Type: PayPal
– Shop-Credit used: -10,00 € (this is the redeemed voucher)
– Total: 1,50 €
– incl. 19 % VAT 1,84 €

The issue is because of the 19% VAT being calculated on the subtotal of 11,50 € and being activated in that invoice with its total amount of 1,84 €. BUT 1,60€ has already been passed to authorities after step 1. Because that second invoice is showing a VAT of 1,84 €, authorities will demand the exact VAT amount of 1,84 €, instead of the 0,24 €. The correct VAT in that invoice needs to be 0,24 € calculated on the total of 1,50€ being paid in step 2 only.

I’ve seen the docs about “Apply before taxes” and multiple blog/forum entries over the internet, but none has really been fully helpful. In https://woocommerce.com/document/smart-coupons/using-apply-before-tax/ also doesn’t seem to apply here, and the description doesn’t really state what the setting really does: It just says “If you want to change this behavior of the store credit”, but not what or how it changes the behaviour of the store credit. Furthermore the WP Web Agency told them this would need further expensive customizing, what I couldn’t believe because of it beeing a really common issue here in Germany.

Really appreciate any help or somebody pointing us to the right direction. Thank you.

But, once I implemented it, I realized that I’ve been living in unneeded chaos sending codes manually, answering repeat questions, tracking inventory and ZeroOne just does it for me. Things aren’t perfect, but, the team has been responsive and helpful in taking feedback and incorporating it.

“We are getting asked by beauty training schools if they referred us to their students, could we offer a discount and a kickback credit/cash for doing so.

Is there any way we can do this and keep track of the spending against a code?”

I have looked at affiliate program plugins but none of them seem to do what the client is wanting. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong area and should be looking at coupon plugins – or is there an alternate way we can achieve this like by creating a form on their website for referrals?

Thanks in advance.

Here in good old Germany, we have some special laws about vouchers and i cannot fix the problem by my own. In Germany the tax law knows 2 different kind of vouchers / coupons: 1) one purpose 2) Multipurpose vouchers. The last ones are the ones we want.

These kind of multi-purpose vouchers are added with VAT in the moment, that the client uses it. Before, it is tax free.

For example: the client buys a voucher for 50€. Ok, i can make this product “50€-voucher” taxfree. Then, lateron, when the client uses the voucher code for a product which costs 100€. Then, pdf vouchers says (with 19% VAT), the VAT all in all is 7,98€. But thats wrong, it should be 15,97 €, because in the moment the client redeems the voucher, there the VAT for the vouchers pops up, too.

So, in other words: how can i manage, that the VAT is calculated not with the reduced amount, but with the complete price (how it would be without voucher). So: first VAT-calculation and afterwards reducing the price. Im sorry, my english is bad, hope you get my problem. Are there some ideas?

Has anyone experience of running the bitnami Wordpres package on AWS Lightsail specifically with the PDF Product Vouchers plugin? I am testing this right now but the vouchers never generate after I do a test purchase. The vouchers do generate manually if I try that.

Thanks
