I looking to see what my options are. I know this field doesn’t exist on the create terminal. But I do see it in orders and an order is created. But I am not able to update the order I assume because its already been paid. Is there an option for tax and if not is this something in the future

👋 Currently, there isn’t a way to add a tax to an order from a payment created with the Terminal API. This is a very popular feature request and we hope to have more for you soon. 🙂

👋 We’ve just released 🚀 Terminal API beta features including order itemization on the Terminal which includes taxes, delayed capture to authorize a payment upfront and collect funds later, card on file for recurring purchases, and app fees so you can monetize on payments processed via Terminal API.
