Manual taxes: set up tax zones by country or state

September 22, 2026

What’s new

You can now create Tax Zones under Manual Taxes to organize and apply your own tax rates based on a customer’s country or state. This helps you manage different manual tax setups by region and keep your tax settings easier to maintain.

Create geographic tax zones

  • Create zones by grouping specific countries and states.
  • Name each zone based on the region or the tax setup it represents.
  • Each country or state can belong to only one Manual Tax Zone to prevent overlap.

Example: Create a Canada Tax Zone, add the relevant regions, and attach the manual tax rates you want to apply for customers in that zone.

How tax rates apply

  • You can attach existing user-defined tax rates to a zone.
  • You can add up to 10 tax rates per zone.
  • If a tax rate is attached to both the product and the zone, it applies at checkout (the product + zone intersection).
  • For regions not included in any zone, all rates attached to the product apply without zone filtering.
  • If a zone has no tax rates, customers in that zone are not charged taxes (from manual taxes).
  • Deleting a tax rate from a zone removes it only from that zone (it does not delete the tax rate itself).

Automatic taxes and manual taxes

  • Automatic Taxes take priority when they are available for the country and product combination.
  • Manual tax rates in Tax Zones apply only when Automatic Taxes are disabled or unavailable.

Where to find it

Payments → Settings → Taxes → Manual Taxes

From there you can:

  • Create and manage manual tax rates
  • Create Tax Zones
  • Select the countries/states for each zone
  • Attach existing manual tax rates to a zone
  • Review and update the rates configured for each zone

What’s next

We will continue expanding Manual Taxes to support more flexible regional tax configurations.
