How to calculate tax

Tax can be calculated within the total amount or shown as an additional amount to the total.

Tax is not calculated on the donation portion when using the “Donations With feature”.

The Merchant Facility tab can be found within the Payments2Us menu (Top right picklist in Salesforce - Select Payments2Us), or it can be found under the "More" at the end of the tabs. (In Salesforce Classic - It can be under the "+" at the end of the tabs)

  2. Amounts Include Tax: The total sale amount includes tax and the tax percentage of this is calculated.
  3. Amounts Exclude Tax: The amount for the product/service does not include tax and this is to be calculated and added.  If surcharges are being used then the surcharge will also be recalculated to include tax amount for the surcharge.
  4. Tax Amount Specified Inclusive: The amount of tax is passed in via a URL Token, Encrypted URL Parameter or Dynamic URL Parameter.  The Tax amount is not calculated and the value provided is used.  The Total Amount includes the tax specified.
