RE: Similar Error - Now Sales Tax

The %baskettotalF% token IS being used! So what do I do now?

Leslie

What you're seeing is, once again, the default behavior of Merchant=2E
Merchant doesn't display the tax on the OSEL screen by default because
it does not calculate the tax until AFTER that page is submitted=2E If
you display it on that page, the tax displayed will be the tax
calculated the last time the customer submitted the OSEL page and
won't reflect any changes they might have made to their basket (or to
shipping if it is being taxed)=2E

If you use the %baskettotalF% token it will just be the product
subtotal=2E If you use the %baskettotalallF% token it will be the
subtotal plus all charges (including tax and shipping)=2E There is no
token just for subtotal + tax=2E The FAQ included in the download zip
explains this=2E

If you use the %baskettotalF% token it will just be the product
subtotal. If you use the %baskettotalallF% token it will be the
subtotal plus all charges (including tax and shipping). There is no
token just for subtotal + tax. The FAQ included in the download zip
explains this.
