Hi Traumflug, thanks for your reply, To clarify the requirement... I haven't looked into whether there is a requirement for VAT to be charged I did raise it with the client so I am only working on the information provided. I am aware of the groups feature which is one of the big plusses and why I am hoping that TB is suitable, effectively using groups will allow the B2B element to see prices which don't show VAT (until the checkout). But for the general public purchasing school/club uniforms etc will see the prices with VAT which is what they are used to. An example of what I am wanting to achieve is: a garment that has a fixed price including VAT, also has an option for extra wording (name/nickname). This is where a text box would come in for the customer to enter the extra text required. When this box is filled in it would add an extra cost to the item. Thinking outloud, if the extra text is added that would probably need to be listed as a separate product in the checkout page which would mean the figures add up correctly as a 0VAT rated item. Again I am not sure if this is plausible or easily implementable.

I am looking for guidance to allow me to implement a custom text area which depending on the product it is assigned to can have a different monetary value when the client enters content into it. I am coming from a Joomla component which I have struggled to set up with this feature working correctly. The main issue I have had previously is some products have VAT and others don't. When the extra custom text box contains words I would need to have the price of the product increased by a fixed amount which doesn't change the amount of Tax paid. Writing it out here I am thinking this may not be possible but if it is I would welcome the assistance. From playing with TB for a couple of weeks I am certainly won over partly because it is a dedicated shopping cart rather than a general purpose CMS :) Kind Regards, Dave
