Hey,

I have a question regarding Woocommerce maybe someone here can help me.

I have built a website including woocommerce store for friends who live in Switzerland. The website and the store are running fine and they want to expand to Germany now. As many of you may know it is not easy to do business in Germany because you have to deal with a lot of taxes and laws. Since their company is registered in Switzerland, they would have a huge effort in terms of taxes and co. To solve this problem, they simply opened a second company in Germany.

Now to my question: Is there a plugin for Woocommerce (may also be paid) with which you can issue different invoices? So if Swiss customers buy in the store then they get an invoice from Switzerland (with Swiss company name & sales tax) and if people come from Germany you get an invoice with the German company name and sales tax. Is there a suitable plugin?

In addition, different bank accounts are used for both the company in Switzerland and Germany. Is there a plugin for this as well which solves this problem?
 
i would start looking for WP plugin developers to custom code it.
doesn't sound that complex from programming POV but I am not a WP plugin programmer.
if customer order address = DE, then invoke the DE invoice template.
 
You are complicating it for yourself while its really easy to solve.

Turn your wordpress into multsite, build a subsite for any country and you will have freedom to set new currency, taxes, payment options or whatever you want :)

It will also be really lightweight, easy to handle and gr8 for analytics.

There are simple plugin if you want to redirect switz traffic to switz website and germany traffic to germany websites

Sounds like a simple trick :) Do you have any Tutorial or Youtube Link for it ?

i thought about this but i erased it. it's kind of an obtuse way to handling it

OP you can enable multisite by editing your wp-config.ini and adding a flag there. here's good tutorial https://multilingualpress.org/docs/how-to-install-wordpress-multisite/

you can clone the site. put it on a .DE subdomain. for your original domain set up geo-ip redirect for if the visiting country = DE, then send them to the .DE subdomain. now you have two separate instances of WP on your server to play with.

the only thing i dont like about this idea is any time you make a change on your main site, you have to manually go into the DE site and make the same change.

Yeah, you need to do changes for every single site then. But anyway thank you :)

No you don't. Its the setup all the worldwide and famous websites do for a reason.

For coding, plugins, themes and updates, both the websites share them which is great.

As for content, there are many ways to handle it. You should not talk to two different nations in same language. You should localize your website to them.

However if you want two identical websites which on this case there would be need to create another website from start.. there are multiple content mirroring plugins. And wp all import which retrieves your content from same google sheet is a great and efficient way to handle big websites. Well, I guess for each their own afterall
