You can calculate and collect VAT, Sales Tax and GST using Stripe Tax and CheckoutJoy. This feature is available for all
CheckoutJoy accounts and is included in the Pro plan.
Please note - this only works with Stripe payments
You can only use Stripe Tax when processing payments with Stripe. Tax transactions are not recorded when accepting payments
with other payment processors. You should use CheckoutJoy Tax or set up a Quaderno integration if you are using a different payment processor.
When you enable Stripe Tax in your CheckoutJoy account, we will automatically calculate the tax amount for each product in your checkout.
The tax amount is calculated based on the location of the customer, and the tax registrations that you've set up in your Stripe account.
Before you get started, you need to enable Stripe Tax in your Stripe account. You can check this link
for more information on how to set up Stripe Tax.
Once you have enabled Stripe Tax in your Stripe account, you can enable it in your CheckoutJoy account by following these steps:
To calculate the tax amount, Stripe Tax requires the customer's location with as much detail as possible. This includes the customer's
billing address and shipping address if applicable. You can collect this information by enabling the Billing Address form fields
in your checkout settings.
By default the system will record the customer's IP address and use that to determine the location. However, this is not always accurate or
sufficient for calculating tax. We recommend enabling the Billing Address form fields to ensure the tax amount is calculated correctly.
