REST Order API line totals

Hi @pixelive

The WooCommerce REST API currently only accepts prices exclusive of VAT for fee_lines or line_items. This is because the API automatically calculates and adds the VAT based on your WooCommerce settings.

Currently, there’s no built-in feature to provide prices inclusive of VAT directly to the API. However, you could potentially adjust your input price to account for the VAT addition. This would require you to calculate the VAT in reverse from your total value and provide this adjusted price to the API.

Please note that any changes should be thoroughly tested to ensure correct calculations.

I hope this clarifies your concern. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

@shameemreza thanks for your quick response.

Im doing that right now but sometimes I get a cent difference between my calculation and the WooCommerce calculation. Im now sending the price with multiple (4) decimals, hope that helps.

Hi @pixelive

Using more decimal places can help improve your calculations’ accuracy. However, please note that there might still be minor differences due to rounding mechanisms. I recommend you round your prices to the nearest cent after the VAT calculation to minimize discrepancies.
