- In addition, you get full access to the Zip-Tax.com Account Portal where you can view usage and perform tax rate lookups!
How It Works
The ZipTax sales tax plugin uses your product and store settings to determine sales tax rates in real time as your customers enter their information. We factor the customer’s zip code, city, state, and county to ensure proper sales tax collection for all US jurisdictions. The calculated rate is automatically applied to the sale during checkout.
Installation
Simply install the plugin to your WooCommerce site, then visit us at http://zip-tax.com/woocommerce to register for an API key. Once you have your API key, simply enter the key into your WooCommerce settings under the “Integration” tab. That’s all!
