How Quivers calculates Sales Tax

Sales tax calculation in Quivers is based on the state and county of the consumer's shipping address, as well as your specific sales tax settings.

To ensure accurate tax assessment, Quivers utilizes a trusted third-party tax provider called TaxJar.

A full tax breakdown for each order can be viewed on the order details screen.


Here's how the sales tax process works:

  • Tax Calculation: Taxes are calculated based on the applicable rates in the consumer's location. This ensures accurate tax assessment for each order.
  • Pre-authorization: At the point of sale, the consumer's card is pre-authorized for the maximum amount of sales tax that could potentially apply to the order. This pre-authorization ensures that sufficient funds are available to cover the tax.
  • Adjustments: Once the fulfilling business is confirmed, Quivers makes necessary adjustments to accurately reflect the actual sales tax amount. This ensures that the final charged tax aligns with the specific tax obligations.
