There are two approaches to this:1. Have the user, on entering the site, chose a country that he lives in.2. At the time of purchase you need the users address. If the user is not inthe USA, then donıt add the tax to the price.Our addon shop to our Content Management System works like this. Each userhas its own profile. When he shops he needs to enter his name and passwordat the end and all information is taken from his stored data. Thus I cancalculate extra cost, reduce a price, or whatever I like to do with it.Also your marketing folks will love it, since they can view a history of theuser (if you store the orders in a separate db). Play with it and you will see that there is much more to do:-)SincerelyNitai AventaggiatoCEO-- Tools to energize your businessContent Management & eBusiness SystemsComputerOil GmbH http://computeroil.com/Hauptstrasse 12 info@computeroil.com8252 Schlatt/SwitzerlandTel: +41 (0)52 654 15 55Fax: +41 (0)52 654 15 59-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/
