# Display prices in the cart and checkout

This option determines how prices are actually *displayed* in the shopper cart and checkout pages. It works *independently* of actual catalog prices. Choose to display the price either **inclusive** of or **exclusive** of tax.

See [Setting up Taxes in WooCommerce](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-taxes-in-woocommerce/?) for more details. &#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**: You may choose **exclusive tax**, which will give the customer a clear idea of taxes and the product price as it will show the taxes as separate line items on the cart and checkout pages.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Settings here in the **Tax** module will affect the product price on different pages. See the tax use cases in the following table:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>Prices entered with tax</th><th>Display prices in the shop</th><th width="316">Display prices during cart and checkout</th><th>Product Price on Shop Page</th><th>Product Price on Cart and Checkout Page</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Prices entered with tax</strong></td><td><strong>Display prices in the shop</strong></td><td><strong>Display prices during cart and checkout</strong></td><td><strong>Product Price on Shop Page</strong></td><td><strong>Product Price on Cart and Checkout Page</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax</td><td>Excluding</td><td>Excluding</td><td>Entered Product Price -Tax calculated by Digital River</td><td>Entered Product Price -Tax calculated by Digital River</td></tr><tr><td>Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax</td><td>Including</td><td>Including</td><td>Entered Product Price</td><td>Entered Product Price</td></tr><tr><td>No, I will enter prices exclusive of tax</td><td>Excluding</td><td>Excluding</td><td>Entered Product Price</td><td>Entered Product Price</td></tr><tr><td>No, I will enter prices exclusive of tax</td><td>Including</td><td>Including</td><td>Entered Product Price + Tax calculated by Digital River</td><td>Entered Product Price + Tax calculated by Digital River</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Note:** Keep in mind that there are two less commonly used settings in WooCommerce that can also impact the display of tax amounts on various store pages. These are:

* Tax status per shipping method. Each shipping method can be set to **Taxable** or **None**.
* Shipping standard rate tax per Country/State. Each rate can be set to include Shipping tax.
