Go to More > Store Settings > Store > Tax to set up the taxes your store charges on orders.

Tax Rates

You can set up to three taxes. Use more than one if your area charges, for example, a state tax and a city tax.

For each tax (Tax 1, Tax 2, Tax 3):

Name: The name of the tax, for example, VAT or Sales Tax.
Rate (%): The percentage your store charges.

Leave a tax blank if you don’t need it.

Select Save when you finish.

Additional Tax Settings

Tax Type: Choose how tax works with your prices.
- Included in Product Price: Your prices already include tax. Tax is shown as part of the total.
- On Top of Product Price: Tax is added on top of your prices at checkout.
Tax / VAT ID Number: Enter your store’s tax or VAT registration number.

Note: Tax rules vary by country and region. Check with your accountant if you’re not sure which rates or tax type to use.

Tax exemptions

You can exempt items or customers from a tax.

To make a product tax exempt:

Go to More > Products and edit the product.
Toggle on Tax Exempt. The toggle is named after the tax, for example, Tax Exempt: VAT.
Select Save.

To make a customer tax exempt:

Go to Customers and edit the customer.
Open the Billing tab.
Under Tax Exemptions, toggle on the exemption, for example, VAT Exempt.
Select Save.

The Billing tab also has a Tax ID field for the customer’s own tax number.

Common questions

Do I need to set up tax?

Only if your store charges tax. Leave the rates blank if it doesn’t.

What’s the difference between Included and On Top?

With Included in Product Price, a $10.00 item costs the customer $10.00 and the tax is part of that amount. With On Top of Product Price, the same item costs $10.00 plus tax at checkout.

Can I use more than one tax?

Yes. Set up to three taxes, each with its own name and rate.

Why is the exemption toggle named after my tax?

The toggle uses the Name you entered in Tax Rates. If you named the tax “VAT”, you see Tax Exempt: VAT.
