VAT Toggle Pricing Switcher for B2B and B2C Stores
The Opportunity
An app that adds a simple header toggle allowing customers to switch between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive pricing. It is especially useful for stores serving both retail and business buyers who need different price views without changing the storefront theme.
"Merchants need a clean way for visitors to switch between prices including VAT and excluding VAT, but their current theme does not provide this functionality."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a storefront widget or header button that dynamically toggles price display between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive modes based on customer selection and region, while preserving cart and checkout consistency.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants selling to both B2C and B2B customers, especially in VAT-using markets and stores using themes like Prestige
Competitive Landscape
A few tax display and B2B pricing apps exist, but many are heavier B2B suites rather than a simple toggle-focused solution
Implementation Notes
Implement a theme app block or app embed that injects a header toggle, detect current tax display mode, update product, collection, cart, and mini-cart prices consistently, support theme compatibility testing, and ensure checkout tax settings remain aligned with Shopify tax configuration. Add optional customer-group or geolocation defaults, plus styling controls for common themes.
