Pricing discrepancy: wishlist vs. cart

mfav

I'm just now filling a cart with some items I wish to purchase. On the wishlist results page in the store I'm getting one price, and in the shopping cart another. The thousandths integer jumps around…sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

I realize this is tenths of a penny, but some calculation somewhere or other seems to be inconsistent from one page to the next.

See attached.

Now here's another with a full penny difference.

Hi,

This comes in as rounding. When it is rounded up or down, depends on the currency information that is used in Brick Owl.
To be more precise, then let's say that an European store would use € as a currency and has set the price to be something like 0,50€ for example. Now in $ it would be (I don't know the current price, so this is just an example) 0,55 in short. But in reality there are actual other digits after the third number, so that is why some prices for you might show three digits after the comma. In the above example it could be either 0,556 or 0,555. And now, this is where the tricky part comes in. In the system due to the exchange rate of the different currencies can cause there to be even more digits after that 0,556 or 0,555 like 0,5561 or 0,5559. And it comes all down to rounding. Which way it is rounded, I do not know if it is always up or always down or just rounded to the nearest second digit after comma.

I hope I made sense .

With regards,

Yeah, rounding, whatever. But shouldn't the rounding be the same in the cart as on the product page? Rounding shouldn't round up from .5 to 1 in one instance and from .5 down to 0 in another. Maybe I just don't understand rounding. In any event, the price shown on the product page is not necessarily the price shown in the cart, so…what am I paying? The page price or the cart price?

Could you let me know what store you are seeing this in? So I can try to replicate the issue

Ah I see, that is related to tax, rounding, and currency conversion. This is handled slightly differently in the cart/checkout, then it is on the rest of the store/catalogue. I will look and see if there is something that we could do about this.
