General Questions / Re: Wrong prefix for delivery ...
Last post by bekean23 - June 19, 2025, 04:07:18 AMThanks for pointing this out, Petra. I actually noticed the same issue recently and was wondering if it was just on my setup. It's a small thing, but it can definitely cause some confusion when trying to sort subway surfers documents or automate processes. Hopefully, it gets addressed in a future update!

Plugins: Payment, Shipment and others / Re: PayPal Checkout Plugin
Last post by bekean23 - June 17, 2025, 06:09:23 AMHave you tried checking your API permissions or That's Not My Neighbor PayPal Developer account settings? It could be that the plugin is not receiving the return information due to a lack of associated permissions or the PayPal app configuration is not properly activated.

Templating & Layouts / Re: Only show original and sal...
Last post by frederi80 - June 13, 2025, 22:47:35 PMOne more thing, Since I have to charge tax on shipping to some states I've tried using Vat Tax (which adds the tax into the product and tax into the shipping cost on front end, but it also makes this happen on the back end so when importing orders it messes everything up and pulls tax twice....and Tax per bill well, seems to be the only method that makes the numbers right, but it won't cross out the base price (just goes blank and shows the sales price if we have the baseprice with tax, but without discounts checked)... so, I don't think this works at all still... just have to go with having two prices showing all the time...
This works great if you don't have to charge tax on shipping anywhere.
But the shipping calcs get goofy with both methods if you have to tax shipping.

Templating & Layouts / Re: Only show original and sal...
Last post by frederi80 - June 13, 2025, 14:11:43 PMI came across your post tonight as I was having the same issue, and was searching all over the place for a solution. It's not a quickstart installation issue and not a template issue. After a lot of playing around with a few different stores and comparing notes, I figured out how to get it to work, except there's another issue that ends up affecting shipping calculation on states that charge sales tax on shipping on the front end while having this active, though calculations show up correctly on the backend receipt. I think this has more to do with their shipping calculation display algos than this solution. I'll explain after showing you how to get it to work. This isn't a joomlart issue, I tried this on three different templates one from base install, one from joomlart quickstart, and one from yootheme, this is an issue that goes back to Joomla 3 virtuemart 3.4.x and still exists on Joomla 5 virtuemart 4.4.10 (tested on both of these versions tonight and it works the same way).
To Make it show how you want it to with the base price crossed out and the sales price showing only when an item is on sale (overwrite price to be taxed), like the following:
$49.95
Sales price $44.95
Discount -$5.00
Then do this:
In Virtuemart goto Configuration > Products > Tax & Calculation Rule
Create a New Rule (I just called it "0 rule" for the time being)
Type of Arithmetic Operation: Tax per product <---This is the trick to activating what you want
Math Operation: +
Value 0
Currency USD
Category (you have to put all of your categories)
Country USA
Click Save & Close.
It should now work for you on items that have a price overide (overwrite price to be taxed).
The dumb thing here, is this only works via the tax calculation rule being active on the categories you choose.
Now here's the issue I was referring to earlier that goes with this one... and virtuemart team should really fix this (I'm a paid subscription customer).
Any states that you collect tax for, this is where it messes up the front end calculation for shipping, but it ends up being correct on the emailed receipt and the order receipt in the backend. So a customer may get confused initially and possibly complain.
Example:
With this Enabled I get the following at checkout on a state that collects tax on shipping
Subtotal $44.95
Shipment Fee $7.14 (when it should be $6.60, it's adding in the state tax of $0.535 to this fee in the front end)
NM Tax $4.18 (it's also adding in the shipping tax in this) (tax on product is $3.65 as it shows in the back end receipt)
Total $55.73 (this of course doesn't add up to $55.73 if you do the math, but $55.73 is the correct total that includes the $3.65 product tax and $0.535 shipping tax, when all is said and done in the backend)
If I disable this tax & calculation rule then it'll show the following on the front end for the customer
Subtotal $44.95
Shipment Fee $6.60 (this is correct)
NM Tax $4.18 (this is correct)
Total $55.73 (this is correct)
And this reminded me of another shipping price issue that has nothing to do with this one. I've had this issue since vm 3.4.x, the tax calculation on the shipping (some states require tax on shipping) on the front end under the shipping selection section it miscalculates, though it's correct again in the backend receipt and emailed receipt.
It shows $7.67 on front end (tax on $6.60 shipping should be $0.535 = $7.14, but it likes to add in 2x the shipping tax). And I know there's been other complaints about this for the last 8 years, but no one fixes it....
Anyway, hope that helps someone out there. If anyone has a solution for the tax miscalcs on the shipping please let me know.

Plugins: Payment, Shipment and others / Re: Heidelpay not supported an...
Last post by NorrNext - June 13, 2025, 07:43:13 AMJust information for old clients who can find this topic:
Unzer HPP plugin for VirtueMart exists and is available on VM marketplace, btw.
QuoteHeidelpay was renamed to Unzer in June 2020.
The rebranding was part of a strategic shift to unify the company's various payment solutions under a single, more modern brand. The name Unzer (pronounced like "unser," meaning "our" in German) was chosen to reflect the company's customer-centric approach and its broader European expansion.
After the rebranding, Unzer continued to offer the same payment services, including online payments, POS solutions, and invoice payments, but with an updated brand identity.

Sometimes to ghet your old data, you can just migrate the old database
ALSO, WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IS, for big updates.
I get a working blank site of vmart, and the new joomla.
THEN, i move over the data. Then start working on templates and overrides.
