Answer 1

Never use directly get_sale_price(); or get_regular_price(); WC_Product methods to display product prices.

Why? Because you will get the wrong prices in that 2 cases:

• If you have enter your prices with taxes and you have set the display without taxes…
• If you have enter your prices without taxes and you have set the display with taxes.

So to display product prices correct way is to use wc_get_price_to_display() this way:

// Active price: 
wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_price() ) );

//Regular price: 
wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_regular_price() ) );

//Sale price: 
wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_sale_price() ) );

Now if you want to have the right formatted prices with the currency you will also use wc_price() formatting function this way:

// Active formatted price: 
$product->get_price_html();

// Regular formatted  price: 
wc_price( wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_regular_price() ) ) );

// Sale formatted  price: 
wc_price( wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_sale_price() ) ) );
