"Tax" doesn't show out

[sbfl26]

Hello, I am new to OsCommerce. I just spent amount of time finishing installation and setting up. However, while I was testing, I found in Order Confirm page, it shows the tax amount but didn't show the word "Tax", so it looks like:

Sub-Total: $111.99

Flat Rate (Best Way): $5.00

: $8.68

Total: $125.67

 

Customer may confuse on what amount is that. Did I missed to turn on some setting or what should I do to make the word "Tax" show out?

 

Thank you....

the tax string is pulled from the catalog\includes\languages\english\modules\orders_total\ot_tax.php. So if the strings in that file are ok it should show up. Assuming you havent touched the ot_tax files and your tax module is installed in the order total in osc admin->modules

Thanks for the reply. I don't remember I have ever touched the anything of the file. So I went to the file "catalog\includes\languages\english\modules\orders_total\ot_tax.php", and here is the code, I am not sure if they are supposed to be like this:

<?php

/*

define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_TAX_TITLE', 'Tax');

define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_TAX_DESCRIPTION', 'Order Tax');

?>

 

And the setting in "Order Total Modules" is like this:

Order Tax

 

Display Tax

true

 

Sort Order

3

 

Is anything wrong with my setting or my file? how come the word "Tax" just not show out?

I believe it's the "Tax description" that you're looking for.

 

Admin->Locations/Taxes->Tax Rates->each tax rate has to have something entered under the "Description" field
