VAT and fees

Calculating VAT, the operator fee, and the net amount.

Every order has a financial breakdown: gross amount, VAT, and the operator fee. The net amount (the shop’s earnings) is gross minus VAT minus the fee.

Shop VAT configuration

You set VAT per shop (vatConfig):

Field	Default	Description
enabled	false	Whether to charge VAT
rate	23	VAT rate in percent
pricesIncludeVat	true	Whether product prices already include VAT

Calculation modes

Prices include VAT (gross)

The product price is the gross amount. VAT is extracted from it.

Example: price 100 PLN, VAT 23% → net 81.30, VAT 18.70, gross 100.

Prices exclude VAT (net)

The product price is the net amount. VAT is added.

Example: price 100 PLN, VAT 23% → net 100, VAT 23, gross 123 (what the customer pays).

VAT is calculated on the price after discount, and the gross amount becomes the payment amount.

Operator fee

The fee depends on the payment method (global or per-channel). It is calculated on the gross amount and stored on the order in payment.fee.

Net amount

net = gross − VAT − fee

This is the shop’s actual revenue. It appears in the email confirmation and in the Discord reports (daily and per-order), with a breakdown of gross / VAT / fees / net.

The VAT breakdown is shown in the confirmation email only when VAT is enabled for the shop.
