Re: Store Issues {Help Please}

The general rule is you must collect state sales tax for any state in which you have a business presence. Therefore I collect tax for orders where the customer address is in NC because I have a business presence in NC. You can configure PayPal and Google to collect tax for you based on the state, you must tell them the tax percentage which can often be a little tricky to find out and typically may vary by county. like here in NC there is a base tax rate for the state but counties also charge tax so I had to find out the tax rate for the county where I operate and use that in my google and PayPal settings.

Note that google and paypal only collect the tax based on the settings you provide, they don't pay the tax or forward it to the states so it is up to you to find out how to report it/pay it to your state/county.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Store Issues {Help Please}

fyi, I've added checks for null on all the ipn parameters. If you get the latest changes from the source code repository and apply them to your working copy using HG > Update then rebuild the solution you should have the fix.

So this will be fixed in the next release of mojoPortal but for those who are able to build and deploy their own build from the latest source code the fix is available right now in the repository.

Re: Store Issues {Help Please}

Making and deploying your own build is not that difficult for an experienced develooper but may be challenging if you have no background in asp.net

Steps I use to package a build are covered in the article Packaging and Deployment

I deploy to a local folder then remove some junk before deploying to production, make sure you read the whole article very carefully.

Hi Tyler,

To make it simple, if you just install the latest mojoPortal 2.3.8.1, I can backport this fix to that release and I'll just send you a fixed WebStore.UI.dll and you can drop it in the /bin folder and confirm the fix.

Best,

Joe

Re: Store Issues {Help Please}

Hey Joe,

Just letting you know that fixed the issue! It had to be the tax not passing back and forth. I wasnt charing tax just for dev. purpose only.

Also, I found it super easy to build and upload the files. just followed the instructions and got it to work right away.

Thanks for all you do!

Tyler
