New Feature: Make a Product Tax-Exempt

Your Shop Local Store has a new feature: You can now make a product tax-exempt.

With this update, your store can decide whether or not to charge tax on a product.  This is handy, for example, when selling most food online in New York State, where such purchases are tax-empt.

Please follow these steps to access this feature:

1. Log in to your Shop Local account.
2. Browse to the product you wish to make tax-exempt.
3. On the product's Details page, click "Edit product" next to the pencil icon.
4. In the Edit modal, click the tab "Description, Keywords, Shipping & More."
5. At the bottom of the modal, there is a "Charge Tax" button.
   • If the button is green, that means you're charging tax.  Click the green button to turn off charging tax for the product. pt.
   • If the button is white, you're not charging tax. Clicking "Charge Tax" will turn on charging tax for the product.
6. Click the button "Update Product" to save your changes.
7. After you save your changes, click the 'X' at the top of the modal to close it. The page will refresh.
8. Scroll down to the bottom of the product's Details page. On the product's listing, you will see "Charge tax on this item:"
   • If the product is tax-exempt, you will see "Charge tax on this item: No."
   • If the product is not tax-exempt, you will see "Charge tax on this item: Yes."

Please note:

• Choosing whether or not to charge tax only applies to retail orders for a product. This does not apply to wholesale orders.
• The tax-exempt option is only available for products added by your account. This feature does not apply to products you receive via the Syncing service.
