Storefront Simple Taxes

To solve for simple tax needs, Adaptive Catalog allows you to set a global tax code to be used on all storefronts, or set the tax code to be used on a specific storefront. Currently you cannot set the tax code to be based on customer, contact, or address information and the tax is shown as an "Estimated Tax" field on the order confirmation page. We still recommend using either the CRM taxes or Stripe for more accurate tax calculations.


Taxes will be shown on Storefront when a customer is checking out. It will be shown with the label "Estimated Tax"
