## Price Display

### Gross or Net Prices

Determine whether prices in your shop are displayed inclusive or exclusive of VAT:

- **Gross (incl. VAT)** - Prices are displayed inclusive of VAT. Recommended for shops whose customers are predominantly private individuals or end consumers.
- **Net (excl. VAT)** - Prices are displayed exclusive of VAT. Recommended for shops in the B2B sector whose customers are predominantly businesses.

How to change the price display:

1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Shop**
2. Under **Price Display**, select the **Gross** or **Net** option
3. Click **Save**

> **Note:** This setting only changes the display of prices in the shop. The actual calculation of VAT on invoices remains unaffected.

## Account System

### Activate / Deactivate Account System

The account system allows customers to create a user account in your shop. With an account, customers can:

- View their order history
- Save addresses for future orders
- Track order status
- Benefit from personalized features

How to control the account system:

1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Shop**
2. Activate or deactivate the **Account System** toggle
3. Click **Save**

> **Important:** If you deactivate the account system, no new customers can register, and existing customers can no longer log in. Existing accounts and order data will be retained.

### Public Registration

If the account system is activated, you can control whether every visitor is allowed to register themselves:

- **Activated** - Anyone can create an account via the registration page. Suitable for open shops aiming to reach a broad target audience.
- **Deactivated** - Only administrators can create new accounts.
