fromscratchlb 5 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi, I am selling both food items and pottery on my site. The food items do not need to be taxed in california but the pottery does. I can't figure out how to apply taxes to only certain items though. Is there any kind of work around for this? fredericG, megseoh, Floreo_Creative and 2 others 5 Link to post
ThompsonWebDesign 366 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Unfortunately this isn’t possible with Squarespace. You can only charge one blanket tax rate. GHjosh 1 thompsonweb.design Link to post
SquarespaceAddThisNow 8 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've asked SquareSpace for the same thing. They should give users the options to override tax. GHjosh, kathybridges, magnusmoon and 5 others 8 Link to post
DougR 11 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Just spoke with someone on chat (very good experience, by the way) and this is still not possible. The whole point of providing the ability to capture taxes separately is to make my job easier when filing with my state's taxation department. If I have to figure out which items were incorrectly priced due to non-taxability, I've lost that convenience and I might as well *not* separate taxes from my product prices. Please, developers, add this feature. Wix + Weebly handles this properly! A simple checkbox on each product would suffice. I have to admit that I'm amazed this site/product/store is as popular as it is without this feature - it really made me think I was missing something. But nope. I hope this gets resolved so I can switch to SquareSpace from a competitor - I like the looks! Floreo_Creative, palm.bethany, shiborigirl and 8 others 9 2 Link to post
shiborigirl 9 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Agree- this is definity something that needs attention. I sell product (taxable in my state) as well as a non taxable service (such as a workshop) that does not get taxed. My only option is to refund the sales tax to those who purchase a non taxable workshop-not ideal! Please add a feature to make this possible! Thank you!

alexandremorin 8 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I agree, I also wish to sell products with and without taxes, a simple checkbox on each product, taxable or not. Would be a godsend! RusticSoap, GHjosh, fredericG and 5 others 8 Link to post
GHjosh 5 Share Posted April 14, 2020 i am having the same issue, does anyone have any advice on how to manage this issue while we twiddle our thumbs waiting for squarespace to add this sorely needed feature? RusticSoap and fredericG 2 Link to post
cmpnd 3 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Seems insane that theres no option to add a tax exempt status to some items. Haven't even heard of a workaround for this. paperseasondesigns, fredericG and RusticSoap 3 Designer and lover of all things. Link to post
fredericG 182 Share Posted April 28, 2020 @SQUARESPACE with all the online store popping up, this should be high on the list. My client needs this for his store, and now i have to tell him the tool i recommended for tis simplicity might end up being complicated… paperseasondesigns, megseoh and Floreo_Creative 3 Link to post
siweisong 13 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Right now, the only workaround I found is posting tax exempt products as service products but it is far from ideal. Link to post

magnusmoon 0 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I am having the same issue with taxes in MA. Clothing under a certain amount is not taxable, but other items in the store are. An option to make an item tax exempt would do the trick. Hoping this changes soon. Please keep us posted! Link to post
Chrisate 0 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I feel this is a vital option for an e-commerce type store. This puts a huge difference between following appropriate tax laws and ensuring your customers paying what they are supposed to be paying. Wish this was an option now, but I haven't seen it being one yet. Link to post
Member 2 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It looks like Squarespace has yet to add this feature. It would be great to have since gift cards are non taxable here... pipervanord and cmpnd 2 Link to post

So curious....So WHAT is the solution??? Do you apply 6.25 to everything and give people tax refunds, not apply taxes, or remove those items require tax in MA? Link to post
ALEFF 0 Share Posted January 4 Same problem. I sell non taxable food and taxable prepared foods and events. I just scrapped my old website and moved to squarespace on the advice of other sellers. I'm already regretting it. How flexible taxing not be a priority? Link to post
goodefarmer 0 Share Posted January 16 I have been asking about this feature for YEARS and am getting ready to migrate my website to something else. Super frustrating. Link to post
