I had a show and the host had an outside order from another state. She wants it directly shipped, but PP is not changing the tax rate like the policy book says I am supposed to. The state where the show was held is 6%, but the state that it is being shipped is 8.25%. I can't find a place to change it and I looked everywhere. I don't want to just let it go at the current tax rate and have to pay for it later.
Any help would be appreciated
 
Special Tax ButtonOn the order screen there is a button "Special Tax" in the order summary area. Click that button, it will allow you to change the tax just for that order.
