If not using Pay Pal as payment gateway, how do I setup the sales tax tables? In my case I only charge sales tax on orders if shipping/billing address is the same state that my business is registered in.
WP eStore doesn’t have sales tax table option for states. Our tax option is explained in the following two documentation:
How to Use/Configure Sales Tax (Regional or International) When Selling Through PayPal
However, you can use the following option to charge tax only when your customer tells the cart that he/she is from a selected area (for example: California).
1. Open the “eStore_advanced_configs.php” file find the following line of code:
define('WP_ESTORE_APPLY_TAX_FOR_CERTAIN_AREA', '0');
2. Once you find it change it to something like the following:
define('WP_ESTORE_APPLY_TAX_FOR_CERTAIN_AREA', 'California residents check here');
Save and update this file.
3. Specify the tax rate in the “Calculate Tax” field of eStore’s settings menu. Keep the “Enable tax calculation” checkbox unchecked so it doesn’t apply tax automatically.
Now, there will be a checkbox in the shopping cart with the text you specified in step 2 of the above modification. When a customer checks that checkbox it will apply the sales tax (specified in step 3) to the shopping cart.
