Tax Configuration

Tax settings in the merchant dashboard let you define how tax is calculated for checkout totals.

What this controls​

  • Tax country: Jurisdiction context for your tax policy.
  • Tax rate (%): Percentage used for tax calculations.
  • Included in price: Treat product prices as tax-inclusive.
  • Apply tax to shipping: Include shipping charges in taxable amount.

  • Determining the correct tax rate for your jurisdiction.
  • Collecting tax where required by law.
  • Filing and remitting tax to the appropriate authorities.
