Direct Shipping with P3: Tax Rate Differences and Hosting Locations Explained
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
When using P3 for direct shipping, it is essential to adjust the tax rate if the shipping destination differs from the hosting location. P3, a payment processing platform, does not automatically manage tax rates; users must manually input the correct tax rate based on the shipping state. For example, if shipping to Texas while the host is in South Dakota, the tax rate must be sourced and entered from a credit card processor. Consulting a tax professional or conducting online research is advisable for accurate tax rate determination.

No, you do not need to change the tax rate with P3 if it is different from the host. P3 is a payment processing platform and does not handle tax rates. It is up to you to determine and charge the appropriate tax rate for the state where the item is being shipped. If you are unsure of the tax rate for a specific state, you can consult with a tax professional or do some research online. Hope this helps!
