Thanks!")* Taxes are indeed calculated before summing products prices as it is common practice in Europe AFAIK and that it is more logical for users ( some customers will refrain from buying because if they buy 5 items at €5 and they are charged €25.02 they will think that your website is not serious enough ). If you want to calculate that differently, you can build a product quantity calculation override plugin using the explanation there: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...tation.html#override](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#override) For the Apply Discounts After Taxes option, I recall that there was indeed a problem with previous versions of HikaShop. Do you have the latest version ?
