Locations and a tax rate for each one
A location is a store or site. Give each location its address, phone and, when it differs from your usual rate, its own sales tax rate.
- Add a location. Open Locations from your account page. Enter a name, pick a tax rate and fill in the address and phone if you like. Locations are never deleted. Switch one off instead.
- Pick the tax rate. The list shows your tax rates. Leave it on Merchant default and the location uses your default rate. To add or change rates, use the Tax rates page.
- At the register. A sale rung up on a register uses the tax rate of that register location. The cashier can still pick a different rate on the sale.
- On invoices. When you create an invoice, choose a Location. The invoice starts on that location tax rate and you can still change it before saving. The invoice remembers which location it was for.
If a location rate is switched off on the Tax rates page, the location falls back to your default rate until you choose another one. A location that still has active registers cannot be switched off, and you always need at least one active location.
