Does Square automatically calculate sales tax based on customer location?

[Pauloshis_Pages]

My online store will serve people everywhere, not just my store's physical location. There is no state or local sales tax where I live, so my default for local customers would be no tax.

How can I set this up for my online store?

You can set Square up to automatically calculate the tax by state for your online store. There is a checkbox to automatically calculate when adding a tax rate for the US. There are some conditions to this so I have linked an article on this. 

Note: 'You only need to collect sales tax in states where you have nexus (significant connection).' See 9 crucial things to know about sales tax for more.

Perfect, thank you @mattd 😊

Will the automatic sales tax feature works only with an online store built in the square platform or can I use that also in my Wix website?

@Yael you will need to check with your item prices on Wix to see if you can implement a sales tax on your online sales. We only accept the payment processing with Wix and do not communicate inventory sales between each other.
