Small Business: Storefront

When the setting Small business regulation active is switched on for the sales channel, the plugin replaces five places in the storefront. When it is off, all places render Shopware's default texts.

What changes

Place	Overridden block	Display when the regulation is active
Product page (buy widget)	`buy_widget_tax`	Link with the snippet `mmd-kleinunternehmer.grossTaxInformation`. A click opens the CMS page for shipping and payment information in a modal.
Product listing (product box)	`component_product_box_price_tax_info`	Button with the same snippet that opens the same CMS page in a modal.
Offcanvas cart	`component_offcanvas_summary_tax_info`	Asterisk (`general.star`) and the snippet `mmd-kleinunternehmer.grossTaxInformation`.
Checkout summary	`page_checkout_summary_taxes`	Instead of the calculated tax lines, one line with the label `mmd-kleinunternehmer.checkout.taxLabel` ("VAT") and the value `mmd-kleinunternehmer.checkout.noTax` ("None (§19 UStG)").
Checkout summary	`page_checkout_summary_net`	The net total row is hidden.
Footer	`layout_footer_vat`	The notice `mmd-kleinunternehmer.footer.vatNotice`.

You can change the texts in the snippet management, see Configuration.

So with the regulation active the checkout does not show "no tax line at all" but a fixed line "VAT: None (§19 UStG)". Only the net total row is dropped.

What stays the same

Shopware itself displays the prices. The plugin changes no price calculation, no cart processor and no tax calculation. Where a tax is charged depends on the tax rates of the products (see Product migration) and on the rest of the Shopware configuration, for example shipping methods.
When the regulation is off for the sales channel, all five places show the Shopware default texts again (general.grossTaxInformation, general.netTaxInformation, footer.includeVatText, footer.excludeVatText and the regular tax line output).
Templates for emails and documents are not part of the storefront, see Documents and emails.

After activation, place a test order and check what actually appears in the cart, checkout and order. The plugin only replaces displays, the amounts come from Shopware.

Your own templates

The plugin uses Shopware's block override system (sw_extends). A theme that overrides the same blocks can replace the plugin's output. In your own templates you query the state with the Twig function mmd_small_business_active():

{% if mmd_small_business_active() %}
    {# Small business regulation is active for this sales channel #}
{% endif %}

The function returns true or false and determines the sales channel from the storefront context or from the order of a document.
