ShopSite Shopping Cart Software
Screen: ShopSite > Commerce Setup > Sales Tax
This screen lets you set up the tax code tables for ShopSite to calculate sales tax using the customer's Zip Code.
| Apply tax to selected countries | Check this box to turn on the Sales Tax by Zip Code feature for the listed countries. Click the Configure button to go to the States and Countries screen and select which countries to include. ShopSite will use the Zip Code to calculate the sales tax only for the selected countries. |
| Column Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Use? | Check the box beside the Zip Code patterns you want to calculate tax for. If the customer's Zip Code doesn't match one of the pattens you are using, the default (first) tax code will be applied. | (Checked)/(Unchecked) |
| Pattern | Enter the Zip Code patterns you want to use for this tax zone. By default, ShopSite has definitions for the 5-digit Zip Codes used in the United States.
You can use a question mark (?) as a match for any final characters. For example, 8086? would match any ZIP code from 80860 to 80869, and 808?? would match any code between 80800 and 80899. If two patterns match the code entered by a customer, ShopSite will use the pattern that has the most precise match. For example, if you define one pattern as 808?? and another one as 8086? and a customer enters 80863, ShopSite will apply the tax rate defined for 8086? because it is a more precise match. ShopSite will match Five-plus-Four Zip Codes with 5-digit patterns in this table if there are no Five-plus-Four patterns defined. For example, if the customer enters 12345-6789, it will match with the pattern 123??. If you are using Five-plus-Four patterns, you may want to include variations, such as using a hypen (-) or space to separate the four digit block. |
71???, 808??, 8090?, 809013???, 80901-3???, 80901 3??? |
| Tax Zone | Enter the name for the tax zone defined by the Zip Code pattern. By default, ShopSite has tax zone names for the United States. The tax zone name is used for the sales tax line-item in the shopping cart totals. | Colorado Tax |
| Tax | Enter the percent tax rate to use when calculating tax for this zone. The tax rate will be displayed with the tax zone name for the sales tax line-item in the shopping cart totals. | 6.25 |
Once you have finished configuring your Zip Code based sales tax table, click Save Changes to save your settings and return to the Commerce Setup screen, or click Cancel to abandon your changes.
