href=\"https:\/\/www.accuratetax.com\/integrations\/woocommerce-sales-tax\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6405\">AccurateTax for WooCommerce<\/a> allows online retailers to accurately calculate and charge sales tax on all orders shipped within the United States. The AccurateTax plugin for WooCommerce looks up the correct sales tax rate(s) for the order based on the address and the items in the order, and calculates the tax amount, adding it as a sales tax charge to the customer&#8217;s order. The solution consists of a plugin that is installed on the retailer&#8217;s WooCommerce store, and the centralized AccurateTax server-based application that is hosted on our systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuratetax.com\/integrations\/woocommerce-sales-tax\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6405\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install\">Installing the Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before installing the AccurateTax plugin in your store, you should have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A WordPress website running WooCommerce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Login information to access the back end of the website as an administrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ZIP file (woocommerce-accuratetax.zip) containing the plugin to be installed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your license key and checksum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A list of the state(s) in which you have nexus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have this information, proceed with the steps below to install and then configure AccurateTax in your WooCommerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your WordPress back end as an administrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hover over Plugins in the left column, and then choose Add New from the flyout menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the Upload Plugin button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the Choose File button, and in the dialog, locate the woocommerce-accuratetax.zip file on your hard drive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the Install Now button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the Activate Plugin button<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The AccurateTax plugin is now installed on your WooCommerce website. Next, you need to configure your settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"store\">AccurateTax for WooCommerce Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the left column of WordPress, hover over WooCommerce and choose Settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the &#8220;Enable tax rates and calculations&#8221; checkbox is checked. If not, check it, scroll to the bottom, and click the &#8220;Save changes&#8221; button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Either in the left column under WooCommerce, or in the tabs across the top on the WooCommerce Settings page, click AccurateTax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your License Key, Checksum, and Service URL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check each of the states you wish to calculate sales tax for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the Enable box.

Click that line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the right side, under AccurateTax Tax Sku, choose any state, it doesn&#8217;t matter which one. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Available Mappings dropdown, find the entry for Default &gt; Taxable Goods, and click that line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click the Assign to All States button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shippingclass\">Creating a Shipping Tax Class<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also need to create a separate tax class for shipping charges, in both WooCommerce and in your AccurateTax account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your WordPress site&#8217;s admin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under WooCommerce Settings, click the Tax tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Additional tax classes box lists all your defined tax classes. To add a new one, place your cursor in the box, click the Enter key to get a new line, and type &#8220;Shipping&#8221; for the class name. <em>Be sure to use that exact case; it should start with a capital &#8220;S&#8221; and the rest should be lower-case.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you have finished adding tax classes, scroll to the bottom and click the &#8220;Save changes&#8221; button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the page reloads, on the same page, look for the line labeled &#8220;Shipping tax class&#8221;. Change the value to &#8220;Shipping&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log into your AccurateTax account, go to Settings &gt; Tax Classes, add the Shipping to the Store Tax Classes list, then map it to all states.

They are also made while entering an order directly into the WooCommerce administrative section of your site. These calls are <em>uncommitted<\/em>, meaning they are not registered as orders within AccurateTax, nor included in reports for filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Committed Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To commit an order, you will need to change the order status dropdown to Completed in the WooCommerce backend. Only <em>committed <\/em>orders are included in reports and filing totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refunds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to refund an order, you should not do so by changing the order status dropdown to Refunded. This does not result in a refund within our system. Instead, use the Refund button at the bottom of the Item list when editing the order in the WooCommerce backend. This is the same place you would issue a refund if you wish to perform the actual refund transaction through your payment gateway. When you add a refund this way, it will be recorded in the AccurateTax system, regardless of whether you issue the refund manually or through the payment gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that a refund will not be sent if the order status has never been set to Completed. This is because the order is not committed, and therefore the refund should not be either. If the order is changed to Completed after a refund is issued, it will send both the order and the refund to AccurateTax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editing Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to a limitation in WooCommerce: If you edit an order in the WooCommerce administrative tool, you should always click the Recalculate button after doing so. <strong>Failing to click the button will mean that the tax amounts in your store are incorrect.<\/strong> The amounts at AccurateTax will be correct based on the most recent edits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deleting an order or a refund within WooCommerce will not delete the order or refund at AccurateTax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technical\">Technical Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A developer or other technical resource may also find the debug logs useful, if enabled.
