  1. Create the tax rule:
    • Click on the "Add new" button.
    • In the form that appears, name the rule. Use a telling name: use the tax rule's country code, its name, maybe even its rate, so as to find it again easily. If PrestaShop already has tax rules for the target country, use their name as inspiration so as to have some consistency.
    • Select whether the rule should be enabled from the get-go or not. You can enable it later if needed.
    • Click the "Save and stay" button. The page reloads, with a table header at the bottom.
  2. Specify the country and behaviors:
    • Click on the "Add new tax rule" button.
      • A new form appears. Fill in the fields:
      • Country. The target country for the rule you are creating.
        • State. Some countries have federal states registered in PrestaShop (see the "States" page, under the "Localization" menu). In that case, you can make the tax even more specific, or choose to have it applied to the whole country. You can select more than one state by pressing the Ctrl key when clicking on state names.
      • Zip Code range. Whether the country has registered states or not, you can further specify the tax application using the customer's zip code. This field enables you to define zip codes in which the tax should be applied: either enter a single zip code, or define a range using the dash. For instance, use "75000-75012" to create a range for all zip codes between these two.
      • Behavior. Some customers might have an address that matches more than one of your tax rules. In that case, you can choose how this tax rule should behave:
        • This Tax Only. Will apply only this tax, not any of the other matching taxes.
        • Combine. Combine taxes. For instance: 100€ + (10% + 5% => 15%) => 115€.
        • One After Another. Apply taxes one after another. For instance: 100€ + 10% => 110€ + 5% => 115.5€.
      • Tax. The tax to be used for this tax rule. That tax must already be registered in PrestaShop. If not: choose "Not tax", disable the tax rule, save it, go create a tax in the "Taxes" page, then come back to edit the tax rule.
      • Description. You may add a short text as a reminder of why this tax rule exists for this country.
    • Click "Save and stay". The country is added to the table below, and you can start adding another country using the new-empty fields.

  • Error messages. Strings are not group into many fieldset, they are all presented together.
  • PDF templates. There is only one fieldset, "PDF".
  • E-mail templates. Strings are split into fieldsets, but they are not simple text fields anymore. Each e-mail has two templates: a HTML one, which is styled and colored, and a text one, when is plain and simple. While the plain text one can be edited directly in the textfield, the HTML one can only be edited by clicking on the "Edit this e-mail template" button at the bottom of the preview. That click turns the preview into a WYSIWYG textfield (what you see is what you get), with a complete editor at the top (based on TinyMCE: http://www.tinymce.com/). In addition to editing the text, you can change the design as you see fit, for instance you can change the colors in order to adhere to your shop's design.
    Note that the e-mail templates feature placeholders, such as {lastname} or {shop_name}, which PrestaShop replaces with the actual values when sending the e-mail. Make sure to keep them in both your translation.
