Hey there, fellow store owners! We've all encountered this scenario: a customer reports a strange bug, and suddenly you're deep-diving into your store's backend trying to unravel a digital mystery. Recently, an engaging discussion caught our attention in an online community, highlighting a common, yet critical, challenge many of you might face, whether you're running a Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, BigCommerce, or PrestaShop storefront.
The original poster shared a perplexing issue: sales tax was correctly applied when customers used their standard WooCommerce checkout page. However, when those same customers opted for the speed and convenience of Apple Pay or Google Pay via Stripe Express Checkout, the sales tax simply vanished from the order total. This is certainly a headache! Not only does this affect your bottom line, but it also creates significant compliance risks. You definitely don't want to find yourself in a situation where you're undercharging tax due to a technical glitch.
