Powered By Network Solutions: WebsiteBuilder - Calculating Taxes In Your Store

We understand that taxes can be very confusing, and this article covers how we’ll help your store calculate taxes for customers - automatically.

NOTE: Make sure that you have already added and set up your Store section to your website before proceeding with the steps below.
  1. Log in to your Account Manager via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
  2. On the left side of the page, click Hosting.

Hosting Option in the Account Manager

  • If you only have one hosting package, you will be taken directly to the Hosting control panel.
  • If you have multiple hosting packages, you will need to select a package name and then click the MANAGE button to access the Hosting control panel.
  1. On the left pane, click on WebsiteBuilder, under Site Builders.

    Pro Tip: If you are unsure what rates to charge here, please consult your tax professional and, when possible, use our automatic tax settings to make eCommerce easier.

    For Example, using automatic tax settings means customers in Massachusetts will automatically see a tax rate of 6.25%, while customers from New Hampshire will not see taxes applied to their cart. These tax calculations happen automatically; there is no additional setup required. Turn on taxes and tax rates, and everything is taken care of for you.

    Once you turn on tax calculations, customers will see taxes applied to their cart automatically at checkout, if applicable. The tax calculation uses the shipping address provided by the customer, so for you, it is worry-free. Wherever your customers are, they will be charged with the correct tax rate, and you will both be able to see these charges reflect on your respective statements.
  10. When you are done, click the Back to editor button on the upper left to exit the Manage Store screen.
