    How come the tax field isn’t shown in the printout of the receipt. This is a very basic fundamental field that should be included by default – look at any receipt as an example. How can I have the taxes shown? I have to deliver this to my client and he’s gonna be pretty upset that taxes aren’t showing after purchasing this MC3 printer for his restaurant.

    Thank you.

    @thaim This plugin was initially developed to help print orders for running a kitchen or a warehouse picking ticket. Many customers don’t even want pricing or totals for their needs. It was also developed and is supported by our UK office, where tax is almost always already included in the pricing, so it is not a basic fundamental requirement at all, it’s entirely regional.

    However, it is relatively easy to add in as long as you are comfortable with making a small modifications to the php code.
    Adding the following code to the function named star_cloudprnt_print_item_totals() in the file order-handler.php (e.g. just above the TOTAL line) will let you print the tax total:

    
    $ft("TAX", $order->get_total_tax());
    

    Coming updates to the plugin will make it more extensible, to allow easier tailoring to specific regions.

    As for tipping, that is not a standard WooCommerce feature so is completely dependent on the external plugin that you use, and how it attached information about tips to an order. The only tipping plugin that we have tested directly is Tipping For WooCommerce by WPSlash (version 1.0.6) on a user request. It required special integration to print well (enabled as standard in recent updates), although many tipping plugins will probably work if you enable the “Print additional order meta-data, such as custom fields.” option.

    Thank you Lawrence, that worked. Much appreciated!

    I’m using the “WooCommerce Donation Or Tip On Cart And Checkout” plugin for tips and donations. Hopefully that could one day be implemented as well.

    Looking forward to future updates. Cheers.

    I just ended up purchasing and implementing the “Tipping for Woocommerce by WPSlash” and it works great.

    Thanks again.

    @thaim Great, I’m glad that’s all working and we will get some options for printing the tax built in to the plugin as standard in the near future.

    Great that you have a solution for printing the tip too, but I’ll add the other plugin that you were testing to the list of those we should look into. It’s good to know what plugins are out there and being used by our users.

    Thanks for the update.
