You can opt to have sales tax applied to your Store orders. Tax rates will be applied based on the shipping address of the order. You must set up a catalog before the Taxes option is available.
There are two options for collecting Sales Tax. If you are in the United States, we've partnered with TaxJar to auto-calculate your rates for you. If you'd rather set your rates, or you are outside of the US, you can use our Manual option.
Note: Regardless of the selected option, it is the photographer's responsibility to collect and remit all applicable sales tax that is necessary for their business.
Before you can set up taxes, we need to know what country you are in to determine which options are available to you. If you set your country during signup, you will not see this step:

To create a Country tax rate, select the Taxes section and click the "+" icon. (You are able to set the Country tax rate to ‘0' if necessary)
After adding a Country, click the "Add Region" if desired. Choose your Region and set your rate:
