What is Net and gross prices?
Net and gross prices are two ways of stating the same price: net excludes VAT and is the reference point for businesses that reclaim it, while gross includes VAT and is what a consumer actually pays. Businesses can be shown net prices marked “+ VAT”, but consumers must be shown the gross price. For a shop serving both segments it is a design decision covering how prices are stored, how the basket is calculated, how VAT is rounded and what ends up on the invoice.
How we use it at Koda Plus
In the B2B wholesale shops we build, a customer logged in to a business account sees their own net prices from an individual price list, while retail customers see gross prices and a quick checkout. On a single Medusa.js instance both channels share one catalogue and one stock pool, and the price display rules are agreed at the start of the project. We keep one VAT rounding method across the whole chain – basket, order summary and invoicing system – so the amounts in the shop and on the invoice match, including when integrating with Subiekt.
In our services
When it makes sense
- You sell to businesses and consumers at the same time
- Trade customers have individual net price lists
- You sell to VAT-registered buyers in other EU countries
- Invoice totals differ from the basket or your ERP by small rounding amounts
