Setting up tax rates for Shopify POS

The Shopify POS app applies taxes based on the store location that you assign to your POS device. Store locations must be included in your shipping zones for taxes to be calculated correctly.

After your tax settings are configured, you can adjust the taxes that are applied to individual orders or products during a transaction from the Shopify POS cart.

Set the tax rate for a new POS location

The Shopify POS app applies taxes based on the store location that you assign to your POS device.

Steps:

1. Make sure that the new location is included in your shipping zones so that taxes can be calculated correctly. You need to do this step even if you never ship your products (for example, if you're only running Shopify POS).

Note

Any overrides or exemptions that you set for a shipping zone apply to Shopify POS locations within that zone.
