Store Management<br />

that will allow you to perform these tasks. These are described in the following sections;<br />

tax rates to states and countries.<br />

shipping incentives to encourage your customers. Refer to this section for more<br />

them. Refer to this section to learn about the different payment methods and how to<br />

and countries have developed policies mandating tax in one form or another. Check with your<br />
