Languages, prices & tax

The customer’s language

Everything the configurator writes itself (Summary, Add to cart, Drop your file here or click to browse, validation messages, the tax lines) follows your store’s language. Your option names, choices and help text come from your option set, so write them in your store’s language.

Shopify
WooCommerce

The configurator follows the storefront language, with nothing to set up. It speaks English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Romanian. Storefronts in other languages show English.

Translations for Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Romanian ship with the plugin and follow the site language, including regional variants such as German (Austria), German (Switzerland), formal Dutch and Mexican Spanish. Language packs from translate.wordpress.org take precedence when they exist.To change any wording, or to add a language:

use Loco Translate, or
put a .po/.mo file in wp-content/languages/plugins, or
change individual labels from code with the papo_widget_strings filter:

add_filter('papo_widget_strings', function (array $strings): array {
    $strings['summary.addToCart'] = 'Add to basket';
    return $strings;
});

Prices in your store’s format

The configurator prints prices exactly as your store does, so the price in the summary matches the price in the cart.

Shopify uses your store’s currency formatting (Settings → General, under the store currency). A format the configurator doesn’t recognise falls back to the standard format for the customer’s language.
WooCommerce uses your currency options (WooCommerce → Settings → General): currency symbol, its position, the number of decimals, and the thousand and decimal separators. A Romanian store prints 10,00 lei, just as its cart does.

A note under the price (WooCommerce)

The summary shows your WooCommerce price display suffix (WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Price display suffix) under the total, such as incl. VAT. Placeholders like {price_including_tax} are left out. To use different wording, or to hide the note, return your text (or an empty string) from the papo_price_note filter.

Showing the tax in the summary

The summary can show how much of the price is tax: the total excluding tax, the tax and the total including tax, or the tax included in the total. It is a display only: your store still calculates tax at checkout from the customer’s address, exactly as before. What the customer sees depends on whether your prices include tax:

Your prices	The summary shows
Exclude tax	Total excl. VAT, then VAT (20%), then Total incl. VAT as the headline price. The price per item is shown including tax too.
Include tax	Total as usual, with Includes VAT (20%): €3.33 under it.

The tax is named in the customer’s language unless you give it a name: VAT, MwSt., TVA, IVA, moms or btw. French summaries use Total HT and Total TTC. The tax is rounded once and the other lines are derived from it, so the figures always add up.

Shopify
WooCommerce

Open the theme editor, select the Print Configurator block, and find the Tax settings:

Setting	What it does
Show tax in the summary	Turns the breakdown on.
Tax rate (%)	Your standard rate, such as `20` or `5.5` (`5,5` and `20%` work too). Without a valid rate between 0 and 100, no breakdown is shown.
Tax name (optional)	Leave empty to use the shopper’s language: VAT, TVA, MwSt., IVA…

Whether your prices include tax comes from Shopify’s own Taxes and duties setting, so the summary can’t contradict your checkout.

There is nothing to set up. The breakdown shows when:

WooCommerce taxes are enabled,
the product is taxable, and
prices are displayed including tax in the shop (WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Display prices in the shop).

The rate is the one that applies to the shopper’s location (or your store’s base location), for the product’s tax class. When exactly one rate applies, its own name is used (MwSt., GST). Whether your prices are entered with or without tax picks the layout above. Stores with compound tax rates, and stores that display prices excluding tax, see no breakdown.To change the rate or name, or to hide the breakdown on some products, use the papo_tax_display filter (return an empty array for none).
