Zones are simple once one understands the process of setting them up correctly
We will start with setting up a sales tax for our pretend location in Texas
admin – locations/Taxes
tax zones (used for more than just taxes)
if you have something listed here ie TX
then we can just edit it.. or
set up a new one
(insert)
name it Texas
now click the details button
Here is where we set the zone Texas itself
(insert)
From the country drop down, select United States
from the sub drop down, select Texas
(insert)
Now we have just the state of texas set up.. now to make it a tax collected zone
admin – locations/taxes – tax rates
New tax rate (if you don’t already have one set up)
Taxable goods from your class drop down
Zone drop down Texas
insert the rate and description..
Then hit the insert button
Now for this to work on just orders from Texas, you have to make sure all your products are assigned the tax class Taxable goods
The same above method applies if you wanted to just have a shipping and/or payment method for any one state/country/zone (less setting up the tax rate) Just visit
admin – modules – shipping and/or payments
select the module you want to assign to any said Zone.. and select it from the zone drop down
There is a small issue with setting up shipping methods to any one zone.. if you display shipping estimator, this method will not show up as the visitor does not have a zone sessioned until they either login/create an account
