In-store pickup tax not calculating

[PanzerBoxb]

Kim,

That would make perfect sense except for we have a large number of customers who winter in Arizona that want to order on-line and then pick up the merchandise in our store. Therefore their billing address is out of state yet we are still required to collect tax because the items are transferred within the state. I noticed several posts in the Archives detailing other users with the exact same problem but there was never a resolution.

I still cannot figure out exactly where the code calculates the tax in order to customize it for the in-store pickup option. Anyone?

Using the Store option will work- it will charge the sales tax if either the shipping or the billing address is the same as the store zone.

Kim,

As I stated before, that does not work in all situations.

Scenario:

Customer A lives in Michigan. They are a retired factory worker who owns an RV and likes to travel. During the winter months they spend several months driving around the southwest to avoid the snow and cold. During this time they decide they wish to purchase something from us on-line and will drive to our store to pick it up. Thus, their billing address with be in Michigan and there will be no shipping address. Our business is required to collect the sales tax due to the merchandise being exchanged in-state. Therefore, our needs require that the in-store pickup option charge tax.

There was a suggestion I found in the archives that recommended customers add the store address into their shipping information. That kind of work-around would probably put off the vast majority of customers.

The only solution I see now is to modify the code to check for the option having been selected and calculating tax accordingly, overriding the billing/shipping address check.

For reference, my solution to this problem has been to disable the module and direct those customers wishing to in-store pickup to call us.

If you mean how do you install the Store Pickup Shipping module ... just go to your Zen Cart Admin ... Modules ... Shipping ... and click on Store Pickup storepickup and click on Install ...

Voila!

Hi, I am having this same problem occur, state tax is not being calculated for store pick ups and it should be because it is like shipping to a New York, in this case, address. I read through this post and have tried and tested using the various settings, but I can't get it to work properly, even when using the STORE per the last post ---- Using the Store option will work- it will charge the sales tax if either the shipping or the billing address is the same as the store zone. The specific example I have is a customer with a Connecticut shipping and billing address places an order and selects Store Pick Up, since the store is in New York state, NY state tax should be calculated just as if the order was being shipped somewhere in New York state. I'm wondering if PanzerBoxb found the solution to this or if anyone else has a similar situation and has the correct settings to make this work. Thanks!

My solution was to disable store pickup and investigate other solutions. I do not have the time to wade through code trying to modify ZenCart for this.
