I am sure there are lots others so feel free to add the ones you have come across or have launched yourself. I will periodically update the first post to include the new ones.

I know how to setup the Tax Zone and Tax Rule to make Taxable Goods inclusive of 15% GST for NZ only.

I am entering prices inclusive of tax so a product which is entered with a price of $100 shows GST of $13.04 in the cart.

When the shipping address is anything other than NZ, the price becomes exclusive of GST. Although this is technically correct most clients want to sell the product to the rest of the world at $100 (the full amount) with no tax component.

I know I can set the ‘Tax Calculation Based On’ Shipping Origin which effectively means everyone is charged GST but surely that has ramifications for accounting later on (I may have to integrate a Xero hookup).

Is there a better way to achieve this?

A community extension that integrates Magento with Paymex has been released yesterday, you can check it out here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/2875

Thanks for your time!

I started using magento in 2011 and I just fell in love with it.

I’ve used it to build my own website and for other people’s business. I’m now looking for someone who is as passionate as me into website designing, preferably in Auckland. Offering an opportunity to work on projects together.

Send me a private message for more details

For courier post we need to be able to set the shipping location in the admin, and then the required rates based on our pricing.

We also need to be able to integrate the shipping weight, choosing the heavier of either the volume weight (Length x width x height) x 200 = X kgs or the physical weight of a package and the destination its going to. The shipping weight should be relatively simple if we create shipping attribute fields for shipping length, width and height and then some code can work out which is heavier and take that as the weight to calculate from.

There is also the issue of how we handle different type of packages as some items can be sent in track packs (plastic courier bags) and others in our own packaging and ideally this needs to be built in as well.

In the front end the site needs to be able to dynamically calculate the cost of shipping for the customer during checkout, and also link directly to Courier Posts API’s to display the shipping details within the site once an order has been shipped.

For the other carriers it would be good to have a simple plug in for the backend that allows us to create single/multiple carriers who we send orders through. So would need to be able to enter name (defined in config) and tracking code to put around the tracking number (also set in config)

Fooman were you looking at developing this potentially?

I am confident there are enough NZ members here to get this forum going. And if there is enough interest I volunteer to organise semi-regular meet-ups in Auckland for Magento store owners and developers.

Please introduce yourself below outlining how you Magento.

The client is looking to migrate from an OSCommerce site to Magento.

Please get in touch with me if you think you or someone you know could be the person for the job.

Cheers, Tim (tim.snadden@dna.co.nz)
