System Settings: E-Commerce Logic

This section controls the core financial and operational rules for your marketplace, such as taxes, shipping, and user permissions.

Default Tax Rate (%): Enter a default tax percentage that will be applied to orders. Set to 0.00 if you do not wish to apply a default tax.
Price Entry Method: Choose how you will enter product prices in the admin panel.
- Prices Entered Exclude Tax: Choose this if your product prices do not include tax. The tax will be calculated and added at checkout. (e.g., $100 + 10% tax = $110 total).
- Prices Entered Include Tax: Choose this if your product prices already have tax factored in. The system will calculate how much of the total price is tax. (e.g., $110 total includes $10 of tax).

Default Shipping Type: Select the pre-selected shipping method that will appear in the user's cart by default.
Free Shipping Threshold: Set a minimum order total to qualify for free shipping. For example, if you set this to 150.00, any order of $150 or more will have the shipping cost waived. Set to 0 to disable this feature.

Hide Prices for Guests: Enable this toggle if you want to require users to log in before they can see product prices.
Require Admin Approval for New Users: Enable this if you want to manually review and approve every new user account before they can log in. This can be useful for private or B2B marketplaces.
