Introduction

One method to add tax rates to your site is to manually enter them on the State/Province tax screen and the Zip/Postal Code tax screen.

Another method is to create a file on your computer with ZIP/Postal Codes and tax information, and then upload that file to your site.  This article teaches you how to create and upload the Zip/Postal tax file.

Create File

First, create the file in Microsoft Excel, or using any text editor (such as Notepad).

In Microsoft Excel

1.    Enter the ZIP or Postal Code in column A

2.    Enter the tax rate for that ZIP or Postal Code in column B

3.    Enter on or off in column C to determine whether or not you charge tax on shipping

In Notepad (or another text editor)

Enter the ZIP or Postal code, then a comma, then the tax rate, then a comma, then the word on or off (to determine whether or not you charge tax on shipping) on one line.

Enter each tax rate on its own line.

Note:  If adding more than 500 ZIP or Postal codes, put them in separate files of no more than 500 codes per file.

Upload File

On the Zip Code Tax/File Upload screen, click Browse.

Select the file you created, and then click Open.

Click Upload.

The codes appear on the Zip/Postal Code Tax screen.
