   • For example: If you are charging a $7.99 flat rate when purchasing 1-10 items; a $15.99 flat rate when purchasing 11+ items -- then you would setup the following 2 shipping price multipliers:
     • A shipping price multiplier for 1-10, with a flat rate multiple of 799, assuming you have entered a Flat Rate Price of $0.01 in the Shipping Method. Therefore, if someone purchases 2 items, the shipping fee charged will be 799 x $0.01 = $7.99.
     • A shipping price multiplier for 11-infinity, with a flat rate multiple of 1599. Therefore, if someone purchases 15 items, the shipping fee charged will be 1599 x $0.01 = $15.99.
   • See more examples in the Shipping Method section.
   • When calculating the shipping fees for this item, this amount will be multiplied by the fee per the weight, size, price and/or flat rate setup for your Shipping Methods.
   • The Weight Multiple, Size Multiple, and Price Multiple are all multipled by the quantity and the shipping method price for each. By contrast, the Flat Rate Multiple is not multipled by the quantity, but is multipled by the shipping method Flat Rate Price.

GiftTool Shopping Cart is set up to apply the indicated tax and calculate the percentage according to the shipping address of your shopper. These taxes are itemized after the sub-total on the order confirmation page. If the tax rate should be applicable to all shoppers regardless of their location, use the Other Tax category.

1. For Canadian eStores : Select the applicable taxes:
   • Goods and Services Tax (GST): As required by law, your organization's GST number will automatically appear beside the amount of GST charged on the order confirmation page. GST will be charged to all shoppers located in a province where GST is applicable (see HST below).
   • Provincial Sales Tax (PST): The PST rate charged will be based on your location. All orders with a shipping address in the same province will be charged PST.
   • Harmonized Sales Tax (HST): The HST rate will be charged, instead of GST, to all shoppers located in a province where HST is applicable. Below the HST checkbox is an "override" amount box, which should be left empty for normal HST calculations (see note below).
   • NOTE : Some products, such as educational books, may only be subject to a 5% GST/HST rate. If you wish to charge 5% GST/HST to all Canadian provinces, with no taxes charged to destinations outside of Canada, you should setup your taxes as follows:
     • Check the box beside Goods & Service Tax [Canada]
     • Check the box beside Harmonized Sales Tax [Canada]
     • And enter “5” in the box for Override the BC,NB,NL,NS, and ON HST Rate.
     This will insure that 5% GST is charged in all provinces that do not have HST (AB, NT, NU, YT, MB, SK, QC, PE). And only 5% HST will be charged in those provinces charging HST (BC,NB,NL,NS, ON). No taxes will be charged for destinations outside of Canada.
     Do NOT use the override box if normal HST rates apply.
   • If other taxes apply, enter the rate for the Other Tax 1 (or 2) category. This Other Tax will be applied to all shoppers regardless of their location.
2. For US eStores:
   • Enter the State Tax rate using a percentage with up to 4 numbers after the period. For example: 15%; 15.0%; 7.5%; 7.25%; 7.2225%.
   • Select the State in which your business resides.  All orders with a shipping address in the same state will be charged the state tax.
   • If other taxes apply, enter the rate for the Other Tax 1 (or 2) category. This Other Tax will be applied to all shoppers regardless of their location.
3. For International eStores:
   • Enter the rate for the Other Tax 1 category. This Other Tax will be applied to all shoppers regardless of their location. Enter a percentage with up to 4 numbers after the period. For example: 15%; 15.0%; 7.5%; 7.25%; 7.2225%
