Was this information Helpful?

Greetings Ubercarters,

I have a new Ubercart project in the works that I believe has an interesting set of requirements.

There is a product that is being sold, and there will be two different facilities fulfilling the orders, one in the US, and one in the UK.

1) Is it easy/possible to make it so UK orders are sent to the UK fulfillment center while the US orders go to the US fulfillment? Could workflow-ng handle this kind of task?

2) I've never done anything related to international/European orders. What should I know before I tackle this? Will I have to deal with the VAT? Any other changes I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your help! This is going to be a pretty high profile Ubercart site with some good press so hopefully it will help raise the profile of Ubercart as well.

Smiling

Re: Internationalization question

Depending on how you need to export the orders, I don't see any reason why you can't add a configuration that checks the order's delivery country and take separate action.

As for VAT, you might start in this thread where a lot of the details are covered. I kinda dropped the ball on keeping momentum behind it, but I intend to revisit VAT in core as soon as it's feasible.
