Tax Rates Per Channel

Overview

While most major marketplaces automatically collect and remit taxes on your behalf, there are certain integrations where you may be responsible for calculating and applying taxes instead. Sellercloud’s Tax Rates Per Channel tool gives you full control over how taxes are calculated for orders placed through these sales channels.

This feature is especially useful for businesses operating across multiple regions, as it allows you to set tax rates by country and state. You can also choose whether taxes should be applied based on the shipment origin or the order destination, ensuring compliance with varying regional tax regulations.

Currently, custom Tax Rates can be configured for: 

• Wayfair
• Home Depot Canada
• Direct Fulfillment
• Vendor Central

Manage Tax Rates Per Channel

An order tax refers to the additional tariff applied to a customer’s purchase at the time an order is placed. In Sellercloud, Tax Rates can be tailored per channel to apply Sales and/or State taxes and can be based on factors like:

• The location of the buyer (Destination Based Tax).
• The origin of the shipment (Origin Based Tax).
