<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
Switch/buttons
Basic usage: 
[wdevs_tax_switch]
Displays a switch to toggle displaying prices including or excluding VAT.
The shortcode accepts several attributes to customize its appearance and behavior:
<ul>
<li><code>class-name</code>: Adds custom CSS classes to the switch.
<ul>
<li>Default: is-style-default</li>
<li>Options: is-style-default, is-style-inline, or custom classes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>switch-type</code>: Determines the style of the toggle.
<ul>
<li>Default: <code>switch</code></li>
<li>Options: <code>switch</code>, <code>buttons</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>switch-color</code>: Sets the color of the switch handle.</li>
<li><code>switch-color-checked</code>: Sets the color of the switch when it’s in the “on” position.</li>
<li><code>switch-background-color</code>: Sets the background color of the switch.</li>
<li><code>switch-text-color</code>: Sets the text color of the switch labels.</li>
<li><code>switch-background-color-checked</code>: Sets the background color of the switch when it’s in the “on” position.</li>
<li><code>switch-label-incl</code>: Sets the text for the “including VAT” label.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Incl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>switch-label-excl</code>: Sets the text for the “excluding VAT” label.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Example with custom attributes:
<pre><code>[wdevs_tax_switch class-name="is-style-inline" switch-type="switch" switch-color="#ffffff" switch-color-checked="#000000" switch-background-color="#000000" switch-background-color-checked="#4CAF50" switch-text-color="#FF0000" switch-label-incl="Incl. tax" switch-label-excl="Excl. tax"]
</code></pre>
Label
Basic usage: 
[wdevs_tax_switch_label]
Displays text indicating the currently selected tax setting. The text updates automatically when the tax switch is toggled.
The shortcode accepts several attributes to customize its appearance and behavior:
<ul>
<li><code>class-name</code>: Adds custom CSS classes to the label.
<ul>
<li>Default: is-style-default</li>
<li>Options: is-style-default or custom classes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-incl</code>: Sets the text to display when “including VAT” is selected.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Incl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-excl</code>: Sets the text to display when “excluding VAT” is selected.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-color</code>: Sets the “excluding VAT” text color.</li>
<li><code>label-text-color-checked</code>: Sets the “including VAT” text color.</li>
</ul>
Example with custom attributes:
<pre><code>[wdevs_tax_switch_label class-name="tax-indicator" label-text-incl="Prices include tax" label-text-excl="Prices exclude tax" label-text-color="#FF0000" label-text-color-checked="#4CAF50"]
</code></pre>
<h4>PHP implementation</h4>
You can use these shortcodes with PHP with the do_shortcode() function:
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch]'); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch_label]'); ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>JavaScript events</h4>
The switch fires a JavaScript event when the tax display is toggled. You can listen for this event to execute custom code when a user switches between inclusive and exclusive VAT display. This is useful for when you need to perform additional actions based on the tax display state.
<pre><code>document.addEventListener('wdevs-tax-switch-changed', function(event) {
 console.log(event.detail);
 // event.detail contains:
 // - isSwitched: boolean - the raw switch state
 // - displayIncludingVat: boolean - whether prices now display including VAT
 });
</code></pre>
If you are loading the switch dynamically (via AJAX), dispatch this event after rendering to initialize the component:
<pre><code> document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent('wdevs-tax-switch-appeared') );
</code></pre>
<h3>WPML</h3>
To translate the option texts via WPML:
<ol>
<li>Save your options first in: WooCommerce -> Settings -> Tax Switch</li>
<li>Then translate the texts in: WPML -> String Translations and search for your option values in the domain ‘tax-switch-for-woocommerce’</li>
</ol>

EU VAT Redirect allows sellers of digital products to send users with an IP address in the EU to one payment provider, and those with an IP address outside the EU to another.
From 2015 sellers of digital products to customers in the EU are required to charge VAT on the product’s purchase price, with the VAT rate being determined by the location of the customer, and report it regularly. Sellers may avoid VAT registration by using a reseller / 3rd party intermediary to process the sale on their behalf and handle VAT calculation and reporting; however, this means that VAT is applied on all EU sales including sales to customers in the seller’s own country, which may otherwise have been exempt from VAT being added. In addition each sale through the 3rd party reseller may be subject to higher transaction fees than payment processors which do not handle VAT reporting. This is obviously detrimental if only a small percentage of the sales are to customers in the EU.
This plugin enables the seller to sell the same product through both a reseller that applies VAT and VAT reporting, and a payment processor which does not, and redirect customers to buy through the most appropriate 3rd party.
The plugin is used in place of the URL in “buy now” links. When the user selects the “buy now” button, the user’s IP address is checked and EU VAT Redirect determines whether a user’s IP address is in the EU or outside it. Users with an IP address in the EU can be sent to a reseller/intermediary that confirms and identifies the customer’s country of residence, adds VAT and handles the VAT calculation, whilst those with an IP address outside the EU can be sent to a cheaper payment processor, which does not add VAT.
Customers with an IP address outside the EU can be further checked by:
a) using this plugin to add an optional “Confirm my location” page which asks customers to confirm that their country of residence is one that is subject to VAT or not
and/or
b) using a payment processor that blocks sales of countries subject to VAT and only allows through buyers in countries which are not subject. This is a feature which some processors offer and which would be set up in the payment processor settings.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>
Ability to configure multiple products, each with their own purchase links.
</li>
<li>
Treat UK as VAT free. Business in the UK who are below the VAT threshold are not required to charge VAT to UK buyers on digital purchases. Those UK business to which this applies to can select this option, and send all UK users to the cheaper payment processor (i.e. treat them as non-EU buyers).
</li>
<li>
“Confirm my location” page – when enabled, an interstitial (‘gateway’) page is shown to any user EU VAT Redirect determines has an IP address outside of the EU. The page asks the user to confirm if they are in the EU or not by selecting from a choice of two links, before directing them to the correct payment processor.
</li>
<li>
Ability to set custom URLs for “buy now” page, and the “Confirm my Location” page.
</li>
</ul>
