Install and configure the app
Install and configure the Stripe Tax app for BigCommerce.
Use the Stripe Tax app for BigCommerce to automatically calculate and collect sales tax, VAT, and GST. The app applies the accurate tax rate for all your transactions in your BigCommerce store. After you install the Stripe Tax app for BigCommerce, you can configure your tax settings.
Install the Stripe Tax app
- Open the Stripe Tax app in the BigCommerce marketplace, and click Install > Confirm to install the app.
- Within five minutes after installing the app, click Connect Stripe. You must have an active Stripe account.
- After you connect your Stripe account, you can configure your tax settings.
Configure your Stripe Tax settings
Complete steps 1 to 4 in the Stripe Tax setup guide. You can skip step 5 because you don’t need to enable tax in your Stripe integration or use the Stripe Tax API.
In the Stripe Dashboard:
- Set your origin address.
- Select your preset tax code.
- Select whether or not prices include tax by default.
- Add registrations.
Configure your BigCommerce store to use the Stripe Tax app
Next, configure BigCommerce to set up Stripe Tax as a tax service:
- In your BigCommerce dashboard, go to Settings > Tax.
- Under Configured tax services, click Edit next to Stripe.
- Click Test Connection to verify that your app is correctly installed.
Set up the origin address
In your BigCommerce dashboard, go to Settings > Shipping > Edit. Set your shipping origin address, if you haven’t already.
You must update the origin address in both the Stripe and BigCommerce dashboards. These settings don’t sync automatically. Tax calculations through the Stripe Tax app for BigCommerce always use the BigCommerce origin address, while tax monitoring and tax registration availability use the Stripe origin address.
Configure the countries to use Stripe Tax
In your BigCommerce dashboard, update the Provider targeting to choose the countries where you want to use Stripe Tax.
Set the provider options
In your BigCommerce dashboard, under Provider Options, select Please submit my order data so that I can use solution tax reporting and returns features.
Configure the tax treatment for your store
In your BigCommerce dashboard, go to Settings > Tax > Store tax settings. Click Edit and then set the Prices entered with tax to one of the following:
- Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax
- No, I will enter prices exclusive of tax
The value that you configure in the BigCommerce dashboard takes precedence over the value configured in the Stripe Dashboard. These values don’t sync automatically between Stripe and BigCommerce.
