Charge Tax on Bookings and Packages

Tax on bookings, packages, and deposits follows the tax setting of the Shopify product

Easy Appointment Booking does not calculate or change tax. Shopify calculates tax at checkout, the same as for your other products. So the tax on a booking follows the tax setting of the Shopify product that the service uses.

Charge tax on a service or package

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Products and open the product for the service or package.
  2. In the price section, check Charge tax on this product. Clear it if the product has no tax.
  3. If the product has variants, check the setting on each variant.
  4. Click Save.

Your tax rates, regions, and whether prices include tax are in Shopify, under Settings > Taxes and duties.

Note:

If a package or service has no tax at checkout, check Charge tax on this product first. It is the most common cause.
