When it comes to setting up an online store, there are a few key things you need to take into account. One of the most important factors is how you will ship your products and calculate taxes. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to use shipping and tax in WooCommerce.
When you first install WooCommerce, you’ll be prompted to set up your shipping settings. You can choose to flat rate shipping, free shipping, or calculate shipping based on weight, dimensions, and/or location. Once you have your shipping methods configured, you can then set up your tax settings.
You can choose to charge taxes based on the customer’s shipping address, billing address, or base address (the shop’s address). You can also choose to charge VAT (Value Added Tax) or not. And finally, you can add custom tax rates for specific countries or states.
Once you have your shipping and tax settings configured, you can start selling products! When a customer goes to checkout, they will see the shipping options that you’ve set up and the appropriate taxes will be calculated based on their address.
That’s all there is to it! Using shipping and tax in WooCommerce is easy and straightforward. With just a few clicks, you can have everything set up and start selling products to customers all over the world.
