Tax

Checkout Page supports 3 tax behaviors:

• No tax
• Fixed tax
• Stripe Tax

Which tax behavior should I use?

Fixed tax

Fixed tax allows you to create reusable tax rates for your checkout pages and events.

Use Fixed tax if you:

• Charge the same tax rate to all customers
• Want to manually create tax rates
• Do not need automatic location-based tax calculation

Learn more about Fixed tax.

Stripe Tax

Stripe Tax automatically calculates and collects VAT, sales tax and GST based on your customer’s location.

Use Stripe Tax if you:

• Need automatic tax calculation
• Sell in multiple countries or regions
• Want tax calculated from customer location
• Need Stripe tax registrations and reporting

Stripe Tax requires setup in both Checkout Page and Stripe.

The Address block included on checkout pages and events helps collect the customer information required for Stripe Tax calculations.

Store default tax behavior

You can set a default tax behavior for your store and override it on individual checkout pages and events.

To configure your store default tax behavior:

1. Go to Store settings
2. Click Tax
3. 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:

1. Open the checkout page or event
2. Click Checkout
3. Click Tax
4. 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
