This issue keeps me up at night. If Squarespace doesn’t add this key integration soon, I will be forced to move my website to another platform. I work out of NY which has a bajillion tax rates. I’m not going to enter every zip code. That’s insanity

I am trying to become a Pinterest Verified Merchant, and have so far uploaded my Sqsp product data feed to it (I just used the Facebook/Instagram that Squarespace gives you). 
But Pinterest says that products are missing the Google_product_category - which hinders using all of the features. Does anyone know how to add Google product IDs/categories?
Hope that makes sense!
 

I noticed that SS has FINALLY partnered with TaxJar to automate Sales Tax!! It wasn't announced and I just happened to find it under Taxes. So far it has been working!

I  am furious at squarespace about this. I would have never spent all this money and all this time building a site if I knew about this tax situation. The support team won't even tell you if the site you made on their platform is legal. This is my first attempt with an online store and they won't explain what I need to do for taxes in NC per their terms and conditions. Told me to hire a tax advisor or lawyer. So I'm beyond lost and they refuse to help. I'm in the process of canceling my account and moving my domain. I don't want to wait weeks to maybe have a solution right before the holidays.

I have spoken to TaxJar about a week ago and they told me they are about to release an integration for Squarespace that would solve this problem. They said they are weeks away from it. For know, my problem is fixed because Illinois where I am based is an origin-based sales tax state, meaning I charge my local tax rate to everyone in the state of Illinois. Once we start getting more sales out of state and start having economic nexus in other states, then we will either have to get that TaxJar integration or move to a different platform (likely the latter, as I have learned Squarespace disappoints in many other aspects of e-commerce).
So my current fix to avoid having to add thousands of zips was adding Illinois as the state I collect taxes in and setting the state sales tax rate amount as my combined (state + local) sales tax rate.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
I am at my wits end with trying to figure out a better way to set up sales taxes on my squarespace e-commerce page. I already know Squarespace unfortunately fails in this area majorly. I feel like I will have to move to a different platform if I cannot figure out some way of automating the sales tax calculation without having to enter a sales tax rate for every zip code/zip code range manually.
Does the TaxJar integration with Stripe Orders API solve the problem with sales tax calculation at check out by some miracle? Is anyone familiar with that? Any words of wisdom will be much appreciated!
