When to use this

Is this right for your store?

Configure tax settings before your first sale. Inclusive mode (GST, VAT) is standard in Australia, the UK and most of the EU — the displayed price already includes tax. Exclusive mode (Sales Tax in the US, portions of Canada) adds tax at checkout. Per-product exempt overrides are needed if you sell a mix of taxable and zero-rated goods.

Best suited for

All e-commerceFood & Beverage (GST-free items)Health & Medical (GST-exempt devices)Children's Clothing (VAT zero-rated)

How to set it up

Step-by-step guide

Go to Dashboard → Store Settings → Tax

Enable tax and select inclusive (price includes tax) or exclusive (tax added at checkout)

Set your label (GST, VAT, etc.) and default rate (e.g. 10 for 10%)

Save — tax is now calculated across all products at the default rate

For exempt or different-rate products: open the product, scroll to Tax and select Override → exempt or enter a different rate

Run a test checkout to confirm the tax line and total appear correctly

In practice

Real-world examples

Australian retailer — GST inclusive

Enable GST at 10%, inclusive mode. Displayed prices are GST-included (e.g. $110). The checkout summary shows $100 + $10 GST = $110. Fresh food products are marked exempt — they display at their price with no GST line on their checkout entry.

UK clothing retailer — VAT with zero-rated children's items

Enable VAT at 20%, inclusive. Adults' clothing shows the standard VAT breakdown. Children's clothing products are individually overridden to 0% VAT — the checkout correctly zero-rates them while standard-rating adult items in the same order.
