Edit a Tax Rate or Fee

Sometimes tax rates change. There are two strategies to implement these changes for your products on TRYTN:

OPTION 1: Create a New Tax Rate

You can create new tax rates and add these to your products at any time. See steps here.

OPTION 2: Modify an Existing Tax Rate

The other option is to simply modify your existing tax rates. By modifying existing rates, none of your products or add-ons need to be adjusted and the edit will be presented to the user on all subsequent purchases. To get started, navigate to Products > Settings > Tax Rates to find your list of current tax rates. If you do not see any active tax rates you may need to create a tax rate or all existing tax rates may be archived.

Select Edit from the Actions menu for the tax rate you wish to edit. Don' forget to save your changes when edits are complete.

Archive a Tax Rate or Fee

When you no longer need a tax rate from your active list, you have the ability to archive that tax rate. By archiving the tax rate it will no longer show up as an option when creating/editing products or add-ons.

STEP 1: Locate the Tax or Fee to Archive

To archive a tax rate, log in to your TRYTN account, navigate to Settings > Tax Rates and Fees and select the Add button. Or, if you are already logged in, you can simply click here.

STEP 2: Select Archive

Find the tax rate you wish to archive in the active list. Then click to view the Actions menu and select Archive.

It is important to note that any product or add-on that already has this tax rate applied to it will continue to use the tax rate until the rate has been removed from the product or add-on. Archived tax rates will not be available for selection for any new product or add-on created after the tax rate has been archived.
