Configuring the Tax and shipping section
This section has to be completed when a digital product is added.
Important: Watersorted has been configured to display prices in NZ dollars and exclude GST in the price (if sales tax is applicable) on the front end of the shop. GST is added at checkout depending on the tax category applied.
Selecting a Tax category
You may have already reviewed and edited your tax categories as per Manage tax categories. You can still apply a tax category if you haven't by using the default categories provided by Admin:
GST
No GST
For both tax categories, the location of the seller and buyer is set to New Zealand.
Important: Watersorted cannot advise you on what tax category to use and when to use it. Please refer to your tax agent regarding GST requirements for NZ.
What next?
Now that you have set up the Tax and Shipping section, we recommend you review and edit the next section - configuring the additional product settings for a digital product.
Here are some other articles relating to adding new products:
Variants and options (applies to all product types)

If you have finished configuring these settings - congratulations!
You can move to the next stage and add product/service inventory.
