Tax
How to set up and manage tax behavior on your checkout pages and events.
Checkout Page supports 3 tax behaviors:
- No tax
- Fixed tax
- Stripe Tax
You can set a default tax behavior for your store and override it on individual checkout pages and events.
Store default tax behavior
To configure your store default tax behavior:
- Go to Store settings
- Click Tax
- Choose your default tax behavior
Available options:
- No tax
- Fixed tax
- Stripe Tax
This default behavior will be used for new checkout pages and events unless overridden.
Per checkout page and event tax behavior
Each checkout page and event can override the store default tax behavior.
To configure tax for a checkout page or event:
- Open the checkout page or event
- Click Checkout
- Click Tax
- Choose the tax behavior for that checkout page or event
This allows you to use different tax behaviors across different checkout pages and events.
For example:
- One checkout page can use Fixed tax
- Another can use Stripe Tax
- Another can use No tax
Fixed tax
Fixed tax allows you to manually create reusable tax rates.
You can:
- Create multiple tax rates
- Set tax as inclusive or exclusive
- Set a default fixed tax rate
Stripe Tax
Stripe Tax automatically calculates and collects tax based on your customer’s location.
Stripe Tax requires additional setup in both Checkout Page and Stripe.
With Stripe Tax you can:
- Automatically calculate and collect VAT, sales tax and GST
- Report tax transactions from around the world
- Override tax behavior per checkout page and event
The Address block included on checkout pages and events helps collect the customer information required for Stripe Tax calculations.
