Configure Tax Options
Once you have enables taxes, a new tab named tax will appear which you can click on to select tax options which you’ll need to configure based on your own individual preferences.
Add Taxes
Once you have saved your tax options, you can click on Standard Rates and add different taxes by country code, state code, zip code and city.
You can :
- Add taxes by percentage
- Add a custom name for each tax
- Add a priority for each tax
