4. Configure Taxes by Shipping Location (Unity users only)

Note

IMPORTANT: For resorts using Unity, Aspenware Commerce supports Taxes by shipping location, which will apply the tax rate configured for the shipping address entered by the guest during checkout. Resorts using RTP|Connect cannot utilize this feature and need to use Fixed Rate taxes, since RTP|Connect cannot specify a shipping address when creating an RTP|One order, which is required for tax by shipping location in RTP|One.

Note

IMPORTANT: The RTP|One administrator must also configure taxes by shipping location in RTP|One, and each region, province/state, or postal code must match the tax rates you configure in Aspenware Commerce.

  • For resorts using Unity, to apply taxes by shipping location, go to Configuration > Tax Providers.

  • Click Configure next to the ‘Manual’ tax provider.

  • Select 'By Country'

    1. Configure tax by location for each region, state/province, or postal code. (These should have already been created by the RTP|One administrator and created in Commerce using the previous steps.

    2. This will be the tax that is assigned to/set up in the product shell under 'Price.'

    3. If taxes are NOT priced by location, then you will want to set this up with a flat rate (i.e. flat 7.45% tax). This requires a new tax category, you will assign a tax rate to United States as a whole.
