I am looking for an app that will allow me to incorporate sales tax into a discount code or gift card. Currently if I issue a discount code to a customer that I charge it will not allow me to charge sales tax to the base amount. For example if the sale is taxable and the code is for $125 it will not charge the sales tax on the $125. Does anyone know if this app exists?
Topic summary
-
Seeking a Shopify app to include sales tax in the value of a discount code or gift card. Goal: when issuing a paid code (e.g., $125) for a taxable sale, tax should be calculated and collected on that $125 amount.
-
Current limitation: Shopify does not charge sales tax on the base amount of the discount/gift card value, so the $125 is untaxed even when the sale is taxable.
-
Clarifications: discount codes reduce order total; gift cards act as prepaid value; sales tax is the required tax on taxable transactions.
-
Outcome/status: no app recommendations or solutions provided yet. The question remains open and unresolved.
