Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce updated to version 1.6.9.141104
Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.9.141104. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Added logic to force cart to use the pre-selected country for shippingand tax calculation. WooCommerce implements a hard-coded logic, which ignores the billing/shipping country (and related taxes) until the customer explicitly calculates the shipping on the cart page. This behaviour is part of the ecommerce core, so we implemented a workaround to ensure that the correct taxes are applied when the cart page is reached.
- Added caching of detected country to user’s session.
- Fixed minor notice in settings renderer.

Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce updated to version 1.6.1.141012
Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.1.141012. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Added logic to force WooCommerce to use the appropriate tax rate. WooCommerce applies the base tax rate until the shipping has been calculated on the cart or on checkout, regardless of the country selected by the Tax Display plugin. This may cause confusion, as displayed prices may not be the ones that customer will actually pay. The Tax Display plugin now implements a logic that “tricks” WooCommerce into thinking that the shipping has been calculated as soon as a new country is selected, so that prices are displayed correctly.
- Fixed bug in the plugin settings user interface. The bug prevented the possibility to drag and drop the rows added to the settings.
- Improved integration with WPML. Added call to localisation functions for configured price suffixes.
- Updated requirements. Plugin now requires Aelia Foundation Classes for WooCommerce 1.2.0.141013 or later.

Tax Display by Country now supports fixed product prices
Our Tax Display by Country became even more powerful!
Version 1.7.0.150109 of our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin will become available soon on CodeCanyon. This new version implements a new, powerful feature that was requested to us by several of our customers: the possibility to keep product prices fixed, including tax regardless of what tax rate applies to a customer.
What is the new feature about?
As most WooCommerce users know, when prices are entered including taxes, WooCommerce considers those prices as “inclusive of the taxes that apply to shop’s base location.” For example, if your shop is based in Ireland, a product priced 100 Euro will be considered inclusive of 23% Irish VAT. When a customer from Germany (19% VAT) will buy such product, the price he will see will become 91.63 Euro, calculated as 100 Euro – 23% Irish VAT + 19% German VAT.
This calculation, while correct, produces all sorts of different amounts. In some cases, it would be better to be able to show a price of 100 Euro to all the customers, and calculate the tax-exclusive price from it. WooCommerce, by itself, does not allow to do that.
Luckily, our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin comes to the rescue, by implementing such a feature for you. By enabling a single option in its settings, you will now be able to keep all product prices fixed, regardless of what tax applies to the purchase.
Fantastic! When is this feature going to be available?
We already submitted the updated plugin to the CodeCanyon marketplace. You can expect it to become available at any time from now.
WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 fix (“keep prices fixed”)
WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new
The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.6.150828. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Fixed “white screen” bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on cart and checkout pages. The bug was introduced by WooCommerce 2.4.x, and occurred in specific configurations when the “keep prices fixed” feature of the Tax Display by Country plugin was enabled. The result were intermittent errors on the cart and checkout pages, which did not refresh anymore when the customer changed the country.
The root cause of such issue was an undocumented breaking change in the logic used by WooCommerce to load shop’s base location, which caused our plugin to go into an infinite loop.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 checkout bug fix
WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new
The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.5.150824. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Fixed bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on the checkout page. The same bug that affected our Currency Switcher also caused some issues on our Tax Display by Country. Due to the hidden breaking change introduced in WooCommerce 2.4, the Tax Display plugin could not detect the country change on the checkout page. The only side effect was that the country selector widget was not updated correctly (taxes are calculated by WooCommerce itself, therefore this bug did not affect them). We fixed this cosmetic issue, so that customers can get a more consistent user experience.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 fix (price caching)
WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new
The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.10.150914. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Fixed caching issue caused by WooCommerce 2.4. The caching logic added in the latest WooCommerce prevented prices to be displayed according to the Tax Display plugin configuration when any of the display settings changed. For example, if the plugin was set to show prices including taxes, then the setting was changed to excluding taxes, the product prices would still show with taxes. This was the result of stale cached data being used by WooCommerce. This new plugin version addresses the issue, ensuring that prices are recalculated correctly when the Tax Display settings change.
- Improved performance in WooCommerce 2.4. The latest version of WooCommerce is slower in returning the data required by our plugin. The logic behind the Tax Display plugin has been optimised to compensate for this issue.
- Updated download link for Aelia Foundation Classes.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – Maintenance release (WooCommerce 3.2.x and “keep prices fixed” option)
WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new
The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.9.8.171023. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:
- Fixed bug affecting the “keep product prices fixed” feature. The bug was introduced in WooCommerce 3.2.x, due to an unexpected change in the tax calculation logic. The glitch affected the calculation of cart subtotal, which was calculated incorrectly.

The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin is now available directly from our site
The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin was originally sold via CodeCanyon. We’re currently reorganising our business and, as part of the operation, we are going to consolidate our offer and move all our products to a single, new licensing system. The new system will allow us to manage product licences, updates and support more efficiently, as well as resume sales to UK consumers and non-VAT registered business. As part of the consolidation process, we had to remove the Tax Display by Country plugin from the CodeCanyon marketplace.
The Tax Display by Country plugin is still in active development and compatible with the latest version of WooCommerce. The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin is currently available directly from our shop: https://aelia.co/shop/tax-display-by-country-for-woocommerce/. When we will move the product to the new licensing system, you will have the option to transfer your licence to it and retain access to our updates and support service.
Update – 04 May 2021 13:00 CEST
Some users reported that the removal of the Tax Display by Country plugin from the CodeCanyon marketplace was sudden. We had planned to announce the change in the next few weeks, and move our Tax Display plugin to the new platform in June. Yesterday, we have been informed that CodeCanyon updated the guidelines for the products sold via their marketplace. Our solution complies with the new guidelines, with the exception of a few minor elements that don’t affect its functionalities. Despite that, the Envato Team chose to disable our product, without warning, pending a review.
Although we understand the new guidelines, and we would be happy to follow them, we don’t agree with the sudden removal of our product from the CodeCanyon marketplace. Our solution runs on thousands of our customers’ sites, and works perfectly with the latest version of WordPress and WooCommerce. We would have appreciated, and considered more professional, if they informed us, and gave us sufficient notice to address the discrepancies.
Due to this, and to the fact that we had already planned to move our product to another platform, we decided to start the migration process immediately. We considered this approach more effective than trying to rush an update, push for a review, and get the product back online on CodeCanyon just for a few weeks.
How this change could affect you
The policies applied by the Envato/CodeCanyon grant access to six months of support from the date of purchase. If you bought the Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin from that marketplace and have an active support service, simply contact us, with your purchase code (see Envato – Where is my purchase code?). We will provide you with support for the remainder of the covered period.
If you don’t wish to avail of our support service, and you have a valid CodeCanyon purchase code, you can still get access to updates for the Tax Display by Country. To do so, please forward us the original purchase code via our contact form and we will send you the instructions to keep receiving the updates.
What are the differences in terms of licensing, support and updates?
The terms of licensing offered by CodeCanyon are different from the ones that we offer via our website. You can find a quick comparison below.
Result (click “Generate” to refresh) Copy to clipboard Preview
Aelia | CodeCanyon | |
Licence type | GPL . You are allowed to install and activate the plugin on as many sites as you like (see Benefits of the GPL licence) | CodeCanyon’s Standard Licence. The licence allowed users to install the plugin on a single site (see https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard). The terms of sale of the marketplace prohibited using the plugin on multiple sites. |
Updates | Automatic updates are provided for one site per licence. You can install the plugin on other sites, which you have to have to update manually. The licence includes updates for one year. After that period the licence has to be renewed to receive further updates. | Automatic updates were provided for one site per licence. CodeCanyon granted access to updates for the lifetime of the product. “Lifetime” meant until the product was retired, or removed from the CodeCanyon marketplace, as it happened in this case. |
Support | The support service is available for the duration of the licence, which is one year. | Access to the support service was available for six months from the date of purchase. It had to be renewed every six months. |
Update – October 2021
On the 1st of October, 2021, we moved all our products to the Freemius platform. The same terms described in the Aelia column, above, still apply to the products after the migration.
What happens after the support service bought from CodeCanyon will expire?
When the support service you bought from CodeCanyon will expire, you will just have to get a new licence from our site. This will grant you another year of updates and support.
Any questions?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. We will be happy to give you all the information you need. Thanks.
