Taxes

The Taxes feature is used to handle two things:

• Sales Taxes as used primarily in the US
• Flat rate fees on particular product or product groups

Either way you start by creating a Tax:

1. Go to Settings > Ecommerce > Product Catalog > Taxes
2. Click New in the toolbar and configure the tax (Figure 1.1)

Figure 1.1 Creating a tax

3. You should:
   1. Provide a name
   2. Select the Countries and maybe regions where this tax applies
   3. Select a Tax Provider and configure it
4. Save

We currently support the following tax providers:

• Avalara tax provider
• Vertex tax provider
• Flat Rate

Vertex and Avalara are used to handle US Sales Taxes, and the Flat Rate provider is used to handle flat rate fees.
