Re: Sales Tax - how to prevent taxing out of state orders?

That's an easy one! (Really, the only type I can answer right now, being so new to UC Smiling

By default, when you set up a tax rule in /admin/store/settings/taxes it is applied to every sale. That's what you're seeing now. The step you are missing is to configure the process in Workflow-ng to apply this rule only to orders from your state.

Go to /admin/build/workflow-ng

You will see, under Active Configurations, the steps taken to process the order. One of these steps should be to add your tax. Click on the NAME of your tax rule and you will be taken to a page where you can set conditions under which your rule will apply. You need to "Add a condition" to "Check an order's delivery zone". You will then be taken to a page where you select the zone (this is your state!). Once you have saved this condition, then the tax will be applied only to orders which match that condition - i.e. only orders from within your state.

You can add multiple conditions to suit your need.

And be sure to set your access control to use workflow-ng

Thanks for this posting. One thing that threw me was I had workflow-ng installed, but did not set the access control.

Sometimes access controls do not need to be set (in that when it means click the box for an authenticated user, it means a user OTHER than admin) but that does not seem to be a firm rule. In this case, you need to go in there and click the access setting to allow you to see the active configurations.
