1. Install and activate Code Snippets plugin.
2. Add a new snippet with the following code: add_filter( 'woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices', '__return_false' );
3. Make sure that you have the "Prices entered with tax" option set as "Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax" (WooCommerce - Settings - Tax - Tax options).
4. Let A be the country where your currently logged in user is based, and B the country where the shop is based. Create an user U based on a different country C.
5. Go to WooCommerce - Settings - Tax - Standard rates and set 30% for country A, 20% for country B and 10% for country C.
6. Create a simple product, taxable with standard rates, with a price of 110.
7. Create an order from admin area, don't set any customer for it and save it ("Create" button in "Order actions").
8. Add the product you just created to the order. You should see that the price that will appear in the line item is 91,67 (110 minus 20% of taxes), and if you click "Recalculate", the tax for country B is added and the final order price is 110.
9. Remove the line item from the order
10. Set U as the order customer and save the order ("Update" button in "Order actions").
11. Add the same product to the order again. This time the price that will appear in the line item is 100 (110 minus 10% of taxes), and if you click "Recalculate", the tax for country C is added and the final order price is again 110.

Replace usage of "information_schema.tables" with "SHOW TABLES LIKE" #30745

Setup the product attributes lookup table feature (prerequisite for testing)

1. Add the following snippet using the code snippets plugin:

add_action('woocommerce_init', function() {
    wc_get_container()
    ->get(\Automattic\WooCommerce\Internal\ProductAttributesLookup\LookupDataStore::class)
    ->show_feature();
});

2. Go to the WooCommerce - Status - Tools page. You will see a new tool with the title "Create and fill product attributes lookup table":

3. Click the "Create" button. After the page reloads you'll see that the button is disabled and shows a number corresponding to the number of products processed so far (the table is filled in increments using scheduled actions):

4. Remove the &action=regenerate_product_attributes_lookup_table part from the page URL and reload it until the button changes to "Regenerate" and is enabled again. At this point the table is ready for use.

5. Go to WooCommerce - Settings - Products - Advanced. Mark the "Use the product attributes lookup table for filtering" option and save.

  • New attributes are added or deleted for a product
  • Terms are added or removed from the attribute definition for a product
  • The attribute changes between "used for variations" and not
  • The attributes for a variation change

4. Delete the lookup table (from the WooCommerce > Status > Tools page)

Include Customer VAT Exemption Status in Variable Product Price Cache Key #30889

1. Setup a variable product with taxes:

2. Set prices in the store to show including taxes:

3. Set up taxes for the site, it's the easiest to reproduce with just one tax rate for every location:

4. Use one logged in user and save a location as well as a matching VAT number in their account:

• Install EU VAT Number extension;
• Use one of the test VAT Numbers from the EU VAT Number Test Data. e.g. a valid Austrian VAT Number ATU66889218;
• Place order using this VAT number so the address and VAT number will be saved for the user and also to see if the VAT number is valid indeed:

Order placed:

5. View the shop page and you should now see the variable product with no tax (user is tax exempt):

6. In an incognito window view the same shop page and verify that the variable product is shown with taxes

7. Clear the transients in WooCommerce > Status > Tools:

8. Refresh the incognito window and see the variable product including taxes

9. Now refresh the shop page again for the logged in user and verify the variable product still shows without taxes
