Extension configuration
You can configure the shipping notice either to be displayed after every price directly or in the footer whereas there
ist an asterisk (*) behind every price referencing to the footer.
Go to Stores > Configuration and Magenerds > GermanLaw
and then to Price display. There you can choose if you use
the asterisk or not:
You can also define the tax and shipping text being dispayed. Therefore you can use %s in order to define the tax amount
in the text.
For defining the link to the shipping page you can use [ and ] before and after the word you want to use as a link.
Example: Inkl. %s MwSt., zzgl. [Versand] will lead to Inkl. 19% MwSt., zzgl. Versand whereas Versand is the link to
the shipping page.
The last configuration setting is the selected cms page which is the shipping page you want to link to.
