Override the default product tax rate in 2.0

The Payments page is where you add and manage your online and offline payment methods, and where you can specify a product tax rate override if the default one isn’t applicable. 

All subscription plans let you connect an online payment gateway like Square or Stripe, but custom offline payment methods are only available to Core, Premium and Ultimate plans.

Payment methods are not migrated from Local Line 1.0 accounts automatically and need to be added manually to your 2.0 account.

For more details on payment statuses, see Manage orders in 2.0.

If you define multiple payment methods they are displayed as separate tabs in your checkout. If you have a preferred payment method, add it first to display it as the first tab as they are displayed in the order they are added at checkout.

You can let your customers pay later (after checkout) for any payment method you create by applying payment terms to the payment method in your price list settings. Payment terms can be unique by payment method and by price list. See Manage price lists in 2.0 for more details.

Override the default product tax rate in 2.0

By default, the sales tax rate that is applied to products marked as taxable is destination-based, or based on your customer's location (zip or postal code). If you are located in a state that applies origin-based sales tax or the tax rate is not calculated correctly, you can override the default rate. When you use the tax override that tax rate is applied to all of your customers.

You can override the tax rate that is applied to your fulfillment plan fees from the Fulfillment page.

1. On the Sales Tax tab, click the toggle to enable the Override tax rate feature.
2. Enter the tax rate.
