Hi, I'm posting this under Online, but the problem also exists in the POS but it is slightly different.
Here is my scenario. I have a business that is similar to a gym. Users pay for example $50/month, plus tax, to subscribe.
I was excited to use the subscription module for this as it seems to be made exactly for that, but unfortunately, due to sales taxes, it doesn't seem usable.
Scenario A: Customer buys via checkout link. That scenario takes the information directly from the plan that was created (Example a basic membership), and nowhere in that creation process can you specify that the price is $50 + TAX, so the checkout link only shows $50. I could create the item at $57.50 (which is $50 tax included), but how will the system know that $7.50 is tax, it is not specified anywhere.
Scenario B: I sell the membership instore using the POS. In that case, if I want to charge tax, I need to manually enter a single tax % for every subscription. It makes no sense to ask staff to manually/arbitrarily enter a tax % on every subscription sell, plus here we have 2 taxes not a single one and there is only 1 field. Finally, if I created the plan to be compatible with scenario A, and use it in scneario B, I have to add the tax on top of 57.50 which also doesn't work.
Surely there are other gym-type business on Square, did anyone figure this out?
Cheers!
Vincent
