Currency, Tax & Dates

What can you do with this?

Display prices in your local currency — choose from a full list of world currencies and place the symbol before or after the amount.
Match your country's number format — use a comma or point as the decimal separator so prices look familiar to your customers.
Set the right timezone and time format — make sure timeslots and opening hours show in 12-hour or 24-hour format, matching your region.
Configure your tax rate — enter your VAT percentage so invoices and quotes automatically show the correct tax breakdown.
Choose your date format — pick from 15 date format options (like d-m-Y, Y-m-d, or d F Y) so dates in emails, PDFs, and the booking calendar match your region's conventions.
Control tax visibility on the frontend — choose whether to show or hide tax amounts on the booking form and quotes, and set whether prices display including or excluding tax by default.

How to set it up

Set your country

In the Regional Settings section, find the Set Country dropdown.
Select your country from the list.
Click Save Changes.

Set the currency

Find the Set Currency dropdown.
Select your preferred currency (for example, Euro, US Dollar, or British Pound).
Click Save Changes.

Choose where the currency symbol appears

Find the Currency Symbol Position dropdown.
Pick one:
- Left ($10) — symbol before the amount.
- Right (10$) — symbol after the amount.
Click Save Changes.

Set the decimal separator

Find the Decimal Separator dropdown.
Pick one:
- Comma (19,95) — common in most European countries.
- Point (19.95) — common in the US, UK, and other English-speaking countries.
Click Save Changes.

Set the timezone

Find the Set Timezone dropdown.
Select your timezone from the list (for example, "Europe/Amsterdam" or "America/New_York").
Avoid UTC-based offsets like "UTC+1" — they don't adjust for daylight saving time and can cause scheduling issues. RepairPlugin shows a warning if you select a UTC timezone.
Click Save Changes.

Set the time format

Find the Set Time Format dropdown.
Pick one:
- 24 hours (e.g. 15:00) — used in most of Europe.
- 12 hours (e.g. 3:00 PM) — used in the US, UK, and other English-speaking countries.
Click Save Changes.

Configure tax (VAT)

Scroll down to the Tax Rules section.
In the Tax (in percentage) field, enter your VAT rate as a number (for example, 21 for 21%).
Click Save Changes.

All prices in RepairPlugin are inclusive of tax. The tax rate you set here is used to calculate how much VAT to show on invoices and quotes. For example, if a repair costs 121.00 and the tax rate is 21%, the invoice shows a net price of 100.00 with 21.00 VAT.

Set the date format

In the Regional Settings section, find the Set Date Format dropdown.
Select your preferred format from the 15 available options (e.g., d-m-Y, Y-m-d, d/m/Y, d F Y, F d, Y).
Click Save Changes.

The date format applies to email notifications, PDF quotes, and booking calendar date labels. Month names in formats that include full (F) or abbreviated (M) month names are automatically translated when you've configured multiple languages.

Configure tax display on the frontend

Scroll to the Tax Rules section.
Switch Enable Display of Tax Amounts on Front-End to ON to show tax breakdowns on the booking form and quotes. Switch it OFF to hide all tax-related values from customers.
When tax display is enabled, a second toggle appears: Display prices including tax by default. Turn this ON to show prices with tax included, or OFF to show prices excluding tax. Customers can still toggle between inclusive and exclusive views.
Click Save Changes.

Frequently asked questions

Are prices shown with or without tax?

By default, all prices in RepairPlugin are inclusive of tax. If you turn on "Enable Display of Tax Amounts on Front-End," customers can see the tax breakdown and toggle between inclusive and exclusive views. The "Display prices including tax by default" setting controls which view they see first.

What happens if I pick a UTC offset instead of a city-based timezone?

UTC offsets don't adjust for daylight saving time. During summer, your timeslots could be off by an hour. RepairPlugin shows a warning if you select a UTC offset to remind you to pick a city-based timezone instead.
