I am really confused over the integration between The Events Calendar software, Woo Commerce and PayPal with respect to tax calculations on ticket sales. <\/p>\n
I have the Events Calendar, Events Calendar Pro, Event Tickets, Event Ticket Plus, Community Events, Community Tickets and Filter Bar all installed on my site. I installed Woo Commerce so that I can enable my users who submit events and choose to sell tickets to them via Community Events using PayPal.<\/p>\n
I am trying to set up my tax tables in Woo Commerce and I have no idea what to put in the tax table because I do not know how the tickets that I am enabling to be sold via Community Tickets are being pushed over to Woo Commerce. I know you guys don’t support Woo Commerce, but I still have a problem because I do not know how my Events Calendar suite of software tells Woo Commerce where both parties of the ticket sale transactions are located. For example. Lets say I have someone in the UK list an event via my Event Submission routine. And lets say they sell a ticket to that event to someone in Canada. I am assuming that Woo Commerce calculates the tax to apply to the event ticket sale, based on the tax tables I input into Woo Commerce so they make the purchaser, the Canadian, pay taxes based on whatever the UK laws on taxes are. But I don’t see anywhere in your documentation how your software tells Woo Commerce the location of either the seller or the buyer, for the purposes of determining how much tax the system should apply to ticket sales.<\/p>\n
All of this difficulty I am having has made me wonder…. does Woo Commerce think of my site as being a single vendor site, not multi vendor because 1) I am not using the Woo Commerce multi vendor plugin (should I be?) and 2) I don’t see anywhere in the events calendar system I am running where ticket sellers are designated as vendors or how they indicate their own tax rates in the system. So I guess I have to do it for them? But there is only one tax table in Woo Commerce. <\/p>\n
I apologize for how convoluted my message is and I hope that someone can explain to me the following. a) Based on the 7 products I am running from The Events Calendar, am I running a multi vendor site? b) If I am, how does Woo commerce know I am and who does Woo commerce consider to be the “seller”. Me, or the community event submitter? c) If I am not, multi vendor, what sort of site is my site? Is it single vendor, meaning I am the only vendor and the people who list events and sell tickets are not vendors? d) Based on all of that, how do I make sure taxes are being levied correctly? <\/p>\n
I have to say that for the most part your documentation for your software is really top notch and exceeds expectations, but your documentation on setting things up with Community Events\/Tickets and Woo Commerce and Pay Pal is pretty weak. I feel like it just tells me to read their documentation, but referring me over to Woo Commerce doesn’t help, because they have no idea how your side of the house is set up. Their regular old Woo Commerce documentation is for single vendor sites too (unless you buy their multi vendor plugin) so that is adding to my confusion. Its as if I am trying to apply plain old Woo Commerce (which is a single vendor solution) to the Community Events\/Tickets, which I conceive of (perhaps wrongly) as multi vendor.<\/p>\n
Thanks for any help you can give. <\/p>\n
