Features & Functionality - 3.4 Shopping Cart Flashcards
How is price handled?
• Price is more or less straight-forward. It is either the price of the products or an aggregation of the products included by the listed product (configurable, grouped, bundled).
How is tax handled? (complicated)
• Tax is much more complex. Magento accommodates VAT and sales tax.
• Tax Rounding Rules
• Unit price: Magento calculates the tax for each item and displays prices including tax.
• Total tax amount: Magento rounds the tax for each item before adding the tax totals together.
• Row total: Magento calculates the tax for each line (based on the row total field).
• Total tax amount: Magento rounds the tax for each row and then adds them together.
• Total: tax is calculated for each item and tax values are added to calculate the total unrounded tax amount for the order.
• Total tax amount: rounding is then applied to the total tax amount.
Describe registered customers.
• These are customer accounts found in the Magento system.
• They are stored in the customer_entity table, using the EAV data storage model.
• When a customer is logged in, all orders are associated with that customer’s account.
• Allows the customer to easily track the status of their orders.
• In addition, the following is also associated:
• Addresses
• Billing Agreements
• Newsletter subscriptions
• Product Reviews
• Wishlist
• Allows you to remember their address in an address book for future purchases, thus reducing more data entry (friction) in the checkout process.
