Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set. switch-aria-label: Sets the aria label of the switch. Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Switch between prices including and excluding tax” if not set.

VAT" switch-label-excl="Excl. VAT" switch-aria-label="Switch between prices including and excluding tax"] Label Basic usage: [wdevs_tax_switch_label] Displays text indicating the currently selected tax setting. The text updates automatically when the tax switch is toggled. The shortcode accepts several attributes to customize its appearance and behavior: class-name: Adds custom CSS classes to the label. Default: is-style-default Options: is-style-default or custom classes label-text-incl: Sets the text to display when “including tax” is selected. Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Incl. VAT” if not set. label-text-excl: Sets the text to display when “excluding tax” is selected. Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set. label-text-color: Sets the “excluding tax” text color. label-text-color-checked: Sets the “including tax” text color. Example with custom attributes: [wdevs_tax_switch_label class-name="tax-indicator" label-text-incl="Prices include tax" label-text-excl="Prices exclude tax" label-text-color="#FF0000" label-text-color-checked="#4CAF50"] PHP implementation You can use these shortcodes with PHP with the do_shortcode() function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch]'); ?> <?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch_label]'); ?> JavaScript API Tax Switch provides a JavaScript API for custom integrations, such as buttons, preference popups, or other flows where visitors choose whether they want to see prices including or excluding tax. if ( window.wdevsTaxSwitch && ! window.wdevsTaxSwitch.hasSavedChoice() ) { window.wdevsTaxSwitch.setDisplay( 'incl', { respectExistingChoice: true, } ); } API methods: * getDisplay(): returns the current display, either 'incl' or 'excl'. * setDisplay( display, options ): changes the display to 'incl' or 'excl'. * hasSavedChoice(): returns whether the visitor already has a saved switch choice. * refresh(): reapplies the current display. * toggle( options ): toggles between inclusive and exclusive tax display. Options: * respectExistingChoice: boolean – preserves an existing saved visitor choice. Set respectExistingChoice to true when you only want to apply a default if the visitor has not already made a saved choice. You can also request a display change by dispatching an event. This is useful when your integration is event-driven. document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( 'wdevs-tax-switch-context-changed', { detail: { display: 'incl', respectExistingChoice: true, }, } ) ); Detail properties: * display: 'incl' | 'excl' | 'toggle' – requested tax display. * respectExistingChoice: boolean – preserves an existing saved visitor choice. JavaScript events The switch fires a JavaScript event when the tax display changes. You can listen for this event to execute custom code when a user switches between inclusive and exclusive tax display. This is useful for when you need to perform additional actions based on the tax display state. document.addEventListener( 'wdevs-tax-switch-changed', function( event ) { console.log( event.detail ); } ); Detail properties: * isSwitched: boolean – the raw switch state. * displayIncludingTax: boolean – whether prices now display including tax. If you are loading the switch dynamically (via AJAX), dispatch this event after rendering to initialize the component: document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( 'wdevs-tax-switch-appeared' ) ); WPML To translate the option texts via WPML: Save your options first in: WooCommerce -> Settings -> Tax Switch Then translate the texts in: WPML -> String Translations and search for your option values in the domain &#8216;tax-switch-for-woocommerce’ Compatibility This plugin integrates with WooCommerce’s standard filters and actions for price display and calculation.
