Sales Tax yes/no column in catalog export

AprilKiskis — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 09:47:34 GMT

I am attempting to upload about 500 items to my store and get them updated. I searched the help posts and see that Sales Tax used to be included in the catalog export file. In my current export I do not see this column. Am I missing something?

My store has a mixed bag of items that I tax or don't tax. I'm hoping for a quick and easy way to mark these items.

Also, I do see that I can click on the ... at the right of the item listings and click "Set as non taxable"

However, when I go back and click ... shouldn't the option change to "set item as taxable"? The option still says "Set as non-taxable". You can't tell at a glance which items you actually changed without clicking on each item and checking it.

@AprilKiskis;

That is not for the Catalog Export of what is included in the Export, but what is Displayed on your Computer Screen. In my csv file it was at the end and Labeled " Sales Tax - 6% pa Sales Tax" with Y or N belowin in the rows for the items. If you goto Square Dashboard on a Computer, Items..... then on the far right click Export then choose as CSV or Excel and you should get everything. I think you can even export a Catalog Template now.

From your Item Library on a computer:

https://app.squareup.com/dashboard/items/library

Goto the right side of the Screen click Actions. Make sure you have no filters.

You should get the below image and select the Export Library it should Turn blue like mine in image.

Then you should get this box for your Export Settings:

Choose CSV if you prefer.

After you do this your catalog I believe starts to download or you may have to select Download I forget. Then you should have the Headers at the top of this reply.

Hope this helps.

I am using the same steps as you describe in your post. Comparing your post to my file it appears that is the only column I'm missing.

I've tried exporting as excel and CVS. Neither formats show that column.

Also to note when I exported the blank template the column didn't appear in that file either.

I wonder what would happen if I added the column then imported the file?

Looks like this is fixed now. I downloaded this again today and the column is there.

How did you fix this because mine has been like this for over 3 weeks now and support has no idea what to do.
