A quick buyer needs a true total.

Shoppers from AI fill baskets more often. The total they reach should already have the right tax.

How it works

Three choices, then it runs by itself.

  1. Choose how

    No tax, one rate on everything, your own table, or automatic.

  2. Say how prices read

    Tick one box if your prices already include tax.

  3. Let checkout do it

    Once there is an address, each basket gets its tax added.

What you get

Four ways to work it out.

  • One rate on everything
  • Your own table of rates
  • Automatic for each order
  • Prices that include tax
  • Lower rates by class
  • Rates by state or postcode
  • Tax on top of tax
  • Tax on delivery

For AI agents

An AI agent sees the real total.

Tax runs in the same checkout for every buyer. Once it has an address, an agent gets the same sum.

The real screen

Choose in one place.

How tax is worked out is one choice on your settings page. You can change it later.

Before you count on it

What to know first.

  • On every plan, including the free one.
  • Every shop starts charging no tax. If you owe tax, you still owe it, so make a choice.
  • Automatic charges tax only where you are registered. Registering for tax and paying it stay with you.
  • Automatic needs payments set up, your business address, what you sell and one place you are registered.
  • With no address yet, no tax shows. If automatic tax cannot answer or place the address, that order pays none.

Questions

Which should I pick?
One rate suits selling into one place. Selling abroad usually means automatic. If you know your rates, use your table.
Can one product have a different rate?
Yes, with your own table. Add a class, give it rates, then choose the class on the version.
Do you file my tax?
No. We add tax at checkout. What you owe is yours to file.
Why does a basket show no tax yet?
There is no delivery address yet. Tax appears once there is one.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. It is a setting, and new orders use the new choice.
