If you are required to pay sales tax when your orders are shipped to certain states, you can setup your store to automatically calculate the sales tax before the customer checks out. Login to the Store Manager (http://www.winecommune.com/stores/admin) and select Sales Tax Rates. (http://www.winecommune.com/stores/admin/salestax.cfm)
To add a state sales tax rate, select a state in the drop down box in the Add a New Sales Tax Level section. Then enter the sales tax rate. For example, if you wanted to add a sales tax level for California, select California from the drop down box. Then enter 8.25 into the Tax Rate field. Then select Add Sales Tax. Your tax rate should show up immediately with a confirmation message.
To edit a state sales tax rate, just make any changes to the active tax rates and hit the Update button. To delete a rate, find the rate you want to delete and select Delete. You will not affect already completed orders.
