With Collect for Stripe, Tax Rates are first imported from Stripe. You can then create, edit, and manage Taxes in the Collect app or Web Dashboard.

In the app, open Settings → Tax Rates to see rates from Stripe and choose which ones to apply by default.

The way taxes are applied is set in your Payment Flow, which you can create, edit or switch any time.

More on that below.

Payment Flow Examples

If you have your Tax setting in the selected Payment Flow set to ‘Always’, the app will always apply any Tax you’ve set to Apply by Default.

If you do not want a tax applied, turn off Apply by Default.

If you would like to have default Tax Rates applied, then have the opportunity to add or remove any available tax during processing, set your Tax setting to ‘Ask’. In that case, the app will always ask, with defaults pre-selected. This is shown in the main feature image for this feature.

A Payment Flow with Tax set to ‘Never’ will skip tax calculation entirely, even if you have Tax Rates created and set to “Apply by Default”.
