blindsquirrel Merchant From United States Member since Jul 2024 blindsquirrel Aug 12 2024 04:54 PM Can anyone explain TAXES in Litecart to me. I [i][b]don't want[/b][/i] taxes "showing" until checkout. (Like Amazon and 1,000's of other stores in the US) If a Customer buys a product from Mobile Alabama, will the appropriate state tax be added? (Just tried it, it don't add the tax) Is there a tax module needed for taxes? I currently don't have the Stripe module (or any other payment gateway), but will add it once I get my store finished and ready for business. Thanks, BS

blindsquirrel Merchant From United States Member since Jul 2024 blindsquirrel Aug 12 2024 06:39 PM Thanks Tonny. Everyone in the US buys from online stores where tax is the "hidden surprise" we all know is coming. We are "use to it". I want to have a store that is the "Norm", so as not to scare customers away thinking tax would still be added, even though it stated tax was included in the price. Consumer logic, "don't change what all other stores are doing because it confuses customers"... I added the code, displayed tax info gone. Thanks!
blindsquirrel Merchant From United States Member since Jul 2024 blindsquirrel Aug 12 2024 06:44 PM Question remains... Is a tax module needed to add tax for all 50 US states? Or is that something I have to add myself in "Tax Rates" settings?

I can not imagine that a price can be displayed for customers without TAX notification. But Ok i am in the EU. If there are states wih different TAX rates the you have to set them.
