VirtueMart Forum

Greetings,
We have two products with different tax rates to be made into a bundle.

For example:
Product 1 = 13%
Product 2 = 25%

Those two products are not allowed to sell separately, only in a bundle, and both  tax rates  have to be listed on the Invoice.
Please, is there any way to make it?

You need an additional plugin that verify if the product have to be bundled.
I already have done similar plugin, so contact me or breakdesigns can perhaps do it too.

VM does all the taxhandling for you, also the different taxes. You just need to create a bundle. A product without any tax having the products as bundle. So the breakdesign thing should work.

Max, the problem is not the tax in this case.
He want "only" bundle for some products. So the only solution is to use a custom plugin to verify if you have the bundled main product in the cart or not.

having never used the bundle component does it not have "compulsory" bundles?

Correct, https://breakdesigns.net/extensions/joomla/product-bundles is solutions.

Pls dont find solution on core virtueMart and try this component :)
You save time not only for yourself ...

pinocchio,
i provide similar solution as breakdesign here https://shop.st42.fr/en/products/buy-together.htm, or https://shop.st42.fr/en/products/extra-product.htm
but read the request

Breakdesign can't show different taxes. I tried this before posting the question here. I could create one item if there were only one tax for both items. But since I have several tax rates for different products I have a problem. Breakdesign can not show several tax rates in the invoice, and other plugins can't lock the product together. So I stuck for now with selling.

The Problem

QuoteBreakdesign can't show different taxes. I

The problem here resides in the fact that you want to apply both bundle discounts and different tax rules.
I.e. You want 2 calc. rules to be applied at each of your product.

Unfortunately VM allows you either to use all the applicable rules (apply generic rules) OR to select only 1 rule.

A Possible Workaround
The bundles package, include 1 more plugin named "Advanced Calculation".
This can restrict the calc. rules application based on other criteria (e.g. custom field id or custom field value).

You can apply 2 different custom fields in your products.
Then go at each of your Tax/Vat rules and at the bottom, you will find the restrictions you can set for them.
There select:
Condition >Custom id = The id of the custom field you applied at your 1st product

Do the same for the 2nd product, changing the id

* Possibly you can use a custom field value instead of the id, though i have not checked that.
* This plugin is used for the bundle discounts and never used for other purposes. If it does not work, please address to the developer, through the official channels.
