Tax not recalculated when shipping state changes

    I have WP e-commerce set to calculate taxes on the shipping address. We collect taxes just in Washington DC, USA. If I fill out the form from top to bottom like normal, and choose Washington DC for the state in the shipping calculator, the taxes calculate correctly. However, if I then change the shipping state to “Virginia” but do not click on the “Calculate” button again, the taxes do not update, and I’m still charged tax, even though I’m shipping to Virginia rather than Washington DC. (The inverse is also true if I start with “Virginia” and then change the shipping state to “Washington, DC”, I won’t be charged tax if I don’t click on “Calculate” again.)

    It seems like when the Shipping State changes, you should either automatically have the system recalculate the taxes or not allow the user to checkout until they have clicked the “Calculate” button again.

  • Hello,
    First of all install the latest Gold Cart version and then test your store in the default theme from WordPress like 2010.

    I upgraded Gold Cart and set the theme to 2010 on our dev site at https://dev.urbantastes.com/ (username dev, password urbantastes). While it prompts me to click “Calculate” again, if the user doesn’t, the tax may still be incorrect if they switch their shipping state from Washington DC to another state (or vice versa). Is there supposed to be a check to make sure it has been recalculated before they continue?

    Thanks,

    Additionally, if a product has “Product will not be shipped to customer”, there is no “Calculate” button for the user to click to fix the tax when changed from or to taxable states.
