WP eStore Table Rate Tax AddOn for a US state

[sunstar8]

This add-on says it charges tax based on the users country. Ideally my need is to put in one tax rate for all countries and US states besides my own (NM). This looks like it is easily done with the “Tax Rates for other zones” setting.

My question relates to the needs for my own state:

1) Ideally I need to pay destination tax based on NM location tax-table – is there a way to do that with this program?

2) If not, can I plug in one tax rate for anyone who makes a purchase in my state (given all I see is Country rate I want to be sure I can put in a custom US State rate). The rate would be higher than for all other zones.

Thank you so much!

Yes I have and that’s where I read:

Note: Calculating sales tax is not supported for the Subscribe and Automatic Billing buttons.

I called Paypal developers and confirmed the above.

I need a way to have both features: 1) sales tax and 2) payment plans (subscriptions)

I’m starting to think that since WP eStore uses Paypal subscription for recurring payment then I have no way to add tax?

Any ideas?

Tax (and shipping) is added by eStore, BEFORE cart purchases are submitted to ANY of the supported payment processors. Subscriptions and recurring payments for ANY of the supported payment processors, takes the form of a payment “contract” between the buyer and the payment processor. There is no way for eStore to dynamically adjust these amounts.

“In Real Life,” taxes are usually builti into the cost of subscriptions and recurring payments.

What exactly are you trying to sell?

Thank you! If I’m understanding you correctly this means I CAN get my needs met: Tax via eStore add-on and then subscription/recurring payment through Paypal?

2) Is there a supported payment processor besides Paypal that does Subscriptions and recurring payments? (I only saw PayPal on eStore description page. )

Much Appreciated!

There are NO SUPPORTED payment processors, that will allow you to process subscriptions, with a separate tax. YOU MUST include the tax, into the cost of your subscriptions. In the product description you can say that the price includes tax.
