Taxes

Create any number of required tax codes specific to the shipping country selected in your WebinOne shopping cart.

Managing Taxes

Found under ‘eCommerce’ > ‘Taxes’, here you’ll find a list of all tax rates configured for use on your website, including the country they relate to.

Clicking the pencil icon () to the right of each item will allow editing of that tax rate. Clicking the trash can icon () will delete the tax rate.

To create a new tax rate, click the “ADD NEW TAX” button above the item list.

Adding / Editing

Here you’ll be able to configure the details of your tax rate and enable it for use within your shopping cart.

Below are further details for the fields available.

Option
Description
Country

Tax Code

Tax Rate

Add all the US state tax rates
When ‘UNITED STATES’ is selected as the tax rate’s country, this option becomes available which can automatically add all US state tax codes/rates to your site. Saving you the time of adding these manually.

Tax Calculations

WebinOne tax calculations are performed using a combination of ‘Bankers Rounding’ and an ‘Error Compensation Algorithm’.

An example of such calculations can be seen in this sample spreadsheet.
