How do I add sales tax to BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:26 am

When setting up your BigCommerce store, you’ll need to include sales tax information. This can be done in a few different ways, depending on your location.

If you’re located in the United States, you can add sales tax information to your products using the Tax Code fields in the product’s Settings page.

If you’re located in a country that uses a value-added tax (VAT), you’ll need to add the tax code for your country to your products’ settings. You can find the tax code for your country on the official website of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

PRO TIP: In some states, BigCommerce will automatically calculate and add sales tax to orders based on the ship-to address. However, it is always a good idea to check with your accountant or tax advisor to ensure that you are correctly calculating and remitting sales tax.

Once you’ve added the tax code, you’ll need to add a Tax Rate field to your products’ settings. This will allow you to specify the tax rate that will be applied to the sale of each product.

Finally, you’ll need to add a Tax Total field to your products’ settings. This will allow you to specify the total tax amount that will be applied to the sale of each product.

When you’ve completed these steps, your products will include the tax information required by your location, and you will be able to calculate the total tax amount that will be applied to the sale of each product.
