Ok, just trying to wrap my head around this. The buyer has to pay sales tax for online purchases based on their city and state. Square represented to my client that Square “autocalculates taxes” and now that’s the expectation they have for me. If that’s not what Square does, then that needs to be made clear on sales calls. It seems unreasonable for me to have to manually add 10,000 entries in my sales tax table to sell to US customers, and then have Square just multiply $100 * 7.5% and call that “autocalculating” when simple multiplication isn’t really a service. Please let me know if I’ve misunderstood, haha.
Edit (in response to post 19 in this thread, since you’ve now closed it): Right! I’m a bit confused about the fact that Square does offer auto tax calc for online storefronts that Square manages (Shopify competitor product) – but does not offer that same functionality via the API.
