Mine isn't, though it used to.

As a result, I'm having to look up the tax rate for every single customer on catalog shows!

grrr

I've emailed tech support, but wanted to see if I'm the only one.
 
Are the cities more than 100 miles from you? If they are, then they won't be in your update.
 
No, you're not the only one experiencing this issue. Many other consultants have also reported that their tax rate is not automatically populating on their orders. It seems to be a widespread issue and hopefully tech support will be able to resolve it soon. In the meantime, you may want to manually input the tax rate for each customer or adjust your pricing to include the tax.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when the Guest Zip is not pulling up the city?

When the Guest Zip is not pulling up the city, it means that the system is unable to match the entered zip code with a corresponding city name. This can happen due to incorrect zip code entry or if the zip code is not recognized in the database.

How can I troubleshoot the issue of the Guest Zip not pulling up the city?

To troubleshoot this issue, first, double-check the zip code for any typos. Ensure that you are entering a valid zip code that corresponds to a recognized city. If the problem persists, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser's cache and cookies.

Is there a specific format I should use when entering the zip code?

Yes, make sure to enter the zip code in the standard five-digit format (e.g., 12345). Avoid using any additional characters, spaces, or letters, as these can cause the system to fail in recognizing the zip code.

What should I do if the zip code is correct but the city still doesn't pull up?

If the zip code is correct but the city still doesn't pull up, it may be a temporary issue with the database. You can try again later or contact customer support for assistance. They can help verify if there are any known issues with the zip code database.

Can I still proceed with the order if the city doesn't pull up?

Yes, you can still proceed with the order by manually entering the city name if you know it. However, it's recommended to resolve the zip code issue to ensure accurate shipping and billing information.
