The checkout page

At checkout, you’ll see multiple sections to review and complete your purchase.

  • You can enter any coupon code by clicking Add Coupon

  • If applicable, tax will appear based on your address

If you are located in a country where tax is levied, the amount charged for tax will be listed in the Order Summary section. If you are purchasing as a business entity and have a valid Tax ID, you may enter your Tax ID in the Billing Address section of the checkout page, which will in turn remove the tax charge from your total.
