Add tax and totals to client email templates

[Amcom 0]

Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is my question. How do I add the TAX & TOTAL amounts also the next due date should be 2019 NOT 2018. I don't see any short code in the email template area for TAX or TOTAL amounts.

etc: {$domain_tax_amount} or {$domain_total_amount}

See the attached image.

out of the box you couldn't do it - without additional coding, you could only use the variables already available to the template... you might be able to calculate the tax in the template if you had to (with difficulty though), but usually you'd be looking at writing a hook that would either calculate it or pull the value from an invoice table.

generally speaking, the order confirmation templates don't include any invoicing variables - and tax would really be an invoicing variable.

Thanks Brian for the reply.  I would think WHMCS would fix this.  It is odd to give the client one amount in an email then invoice them for another amount. I wish I was a coder then I could fix some of the short comings with WHMCS.  I hope someone in the community has come up with a work around for this.  I have already search the forums but with no luck.

Did you see the last PM I sent you?

I completely agree with you @Amcom, that is definitely something that WHMCS should consider. Did you manage to get around this ?

As Brian said, you can have tax amount (and any other value) with EmailPreSend.
