If your store operates in an area that requires sales tax, you can set that up in the Back End so they automatically apply to transactions in the Front End. The process of adding Taxes is simple, so read on to see it for yourself!

 

Add and Edit Taxes

To access the Taxes page in the Back End, go to Taxes > Taxes in the main menu on the left.
