  • Convio partners with a company called Sales Tax Online to provide proper eCommerce Sales Tax calculations for Sales tax in the US and Canada.  The best contact to learn more about Sales Tax integration in Convio is:

    Make sure you mention that you are a Convio client if you contact them for more information.  After signing up for Sales Tax Online, Convio Support can help make sure it is configured in your site instance properly.

  • Convio does not have a built-in Sales Tax feature. You must purchase the sales tax functionality from the site mentioned above. The starting rate whem I first looked at it was $1700 for up to 2000 transactions. It was suggested to me when I was looking to implement the feature to increase the charges per item and then apply tax correctly per item at the back end. Neither method is a good solution, in my opinion. Note that there is no way to exclude any specific item from being taxed on the website. You must hope that they get it right when the information is processed through the 3rd-party sales tax programs.
