| If you are planning to
charge tax to your local customers (any order sold to a customer with a
billing address in your
area) then you need to apply it to each product you are adding to your
store. This step is very important, because taxes will not work until
you tell BuySellDirect.net to which products you wish them applied to.
The 'Product
details' dialog box (the one you will use to add/modify products
- see the section Adding
Products further in this manual for details) contains a field 'Apply
tax'. This field is a select box providing names of all taxes
defined in the store. When creating a new product, you will use the 'Apply
tax' field to apply taxes to your products.
To apply one or more taxes to a product:
|
1. |
Find the
product to which you would like to apply taxes and open it for
modification. A dialog box titled 'Product
details' opens. |
|
2. |
In the 'Apply
tax' field of the 'Product
details' dialog box, highlight the
name of the tax that needs to be applied to the product. If you need
to highlight more than one tax, hold down the
CTRL key while
selecting the desired names of taxes with your mouse. |
|
3. |
Click the
Save
button to apply the changes. |
If the same tax or set of taxes need to
be applied to more than one product, you can apply them simultaneously
to multiple products by editing them in batch. Instructions for
mass-editing of products are provided in the section
Group product editing of the chapter
Managing Existing Products.
Non-taxable products
If your store is going to sell
non-taxable products, you will need to adjust their details in such a
way that no taxes will be applied.
For non-taxable products, the tax
settings in the 'Product details' need
to be adjusted like this:
|
1. |
Select
Yes
from the 'Tax exempt'
drop-down box. |
|
2. |
Select
nothing from the 'Apply tax'
field. |
|
3. |
Click the
Save
button to apply the changes. |
